He has only has a little time to do his "Change" we aren't believing much in any longer.

The first citizens of America have had their land, their religion and related forms of worship taken by foreign forces...American settlers. They now live primarily in poverty (80% unemployed in Pine Ridge reservation) and need to fight to prevent government from further ruining their land and to obtain reimbursements from treaties signed and never honored. Please do something.

Last week, the Vatican released a report reprimanding U.S. women religious (aka, "sisters" and "nuns") within the organization known as the "Leadership Conference of Women Religious."

Term limits for the House and the Senate! Maximum 2 terms! Too many have there own agendas in mind and are not concern about the American people.

Congress needs to reinstate the tax deduction for credit card interest as the banks should be counting this as income and paying taxes on this. Like interest on a home mortgage, this cost should be deductible from income on the tax return.

Previous petitions which demanded truth in labeling have been disregarded by the FDA due to conflict of interest, neglect, and full blown corruption. We will continue to raise this issue, as the FDA has made it clear that they care more about the interests of their corporate constituents than the health and welfare of American people. Those in the American government should view petitions like this as a herald - that if our representatives continue to disregard the will of the populace, the populace will begin to demand reparations.
