Caffeine is one of the most widely accepted and addictive substance in the United States. As the #1 food import into this country, it acts as a stimulant to increase focus, energy and productivity. However chronic use has shown that it actually decreases energy levels and focus, significantly affecting American productivity. With the wide variety of caffeine containing products that are marketed(energy drinks, coffee, soda, anti-sleeping pills, etc....) it would be advantageous to tax this substance to significantly increase tax revenues while increasing awareness of the potentially detrimental effects of caffeine.

Millions of dollars are being funneled into political campaigns without any accountability as to the amounts, the special interests of the group(s), or the individuals who have formed the groups. Americans must take back their political campaigns instead of having those campaigns auctioned off to the highest bidder. We demand absolute transparency in ANY monies funneled into a political campaign, the name of the contributor, and any special interest that individual serves or has served in the past five years.

Sigh petition to allow lawmakers to forgive Student Loans.

The Gerson Therapy is a holistic cancer and disease treatment based on the research and life work of Dr. Max Gerson. The Gerson Therapy is a powerful, natural treatment that boosts your body’s own immune system to HEAL cancer, arthritis, heart disease, allergies, and many other degenerative diseases. UNFORTUNATELY, the Gerson therapy, despite its miraculous results for 70 years, is illegal to practice in United States hospitals. This is supposedly because there is no scientific evidence that the Gerson therapy works according to the American Cancer Society. When the best option doctors are allowed to offer are surgery, chemo or radiation, which are usually a gamble at best and completely detrimental at worst. Let patients know the true validity of holistic CURES to cancer and other diseases. It is a crime for this to be illegal and chemo to be endorsed, it is disheartening. Let's wake up together.

Today, college students / graduates face the burden of an unpresidented amount of student debt. There needs to be away to reduce this burden while encouraging financial responsiblity. Loan forgiveness may make sense to encourage certain behaviors such as service and employment in certain professions such as education, law enforcement, safety, and medicine, but in other cases, people should be able to be given a means to meet the financial obligations they have voluntarily accepted and be protected when luck and events out of their control conspire against them.

This petition is about the amount of debt students like myself will have upon finishing school

Like Bank of America before them, Wells Fargo, who took over all the former Wachovia accounts, now wants to charge its customers a monthly fee.

If you believe that it's unfair that over 40% of American's pay absolutely no Federal Income Tax, please sign my petition. As a member of the 60+ percent that do, it is your time to voice your opinion.

Money should belong to the people, not the banks, and should be issued in sufficient quantity to meet the productive capacity of the nation, not withheld from circulation by banks that did nothing to deserve it.
