• Social Worker working with the disenfranchised
    As an individual working with her community it should be considered that all Social Workers working with the working poor and disenfranchised should qualify for school loan forgiveness. Our jobs are thankless and we work mostly with low income families and don't make enough to cover or expenses plus pay for an education tha cost more than we make in a year. Please help, I'm struggling while the wealthy who make up 1% of the population aren't even paying taxes. Where is the justice. I sacrifice everyday to make sure kids aren't abused, where is the validation?

  • Medicare for Seniors starting at 55
    People at 55 years of age are considered Seniors. Many venues award them discounted prices starting at that age. Health Care awards no such discounts, in fact the closer a person gets to the age of 65 the higher the Healthcare cost. For example an individual health care plan at Kaiser costs $560 per month. Close the gap from 55 to 65.

  • Student loan forgiveness
    The banks have already made their money through penalities by denying differment and forberance. Inspite of all the payments that people like me made in the past their current loan amount is twice the original loan now. I know I can not pay this loan in my life time. I beleive there are so money people who can not be able to pay. The area of study matters. My area of study did not allow me to make enough money to support my family and at the same time meet other obligations like student loans. It should be foregiven.

  • Tax Caffeine
    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.

  • Holding Corporations Accountable
    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.

  • Make the Gerson Therapy legal and endorsable in United States hospitals!
    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.

  • Reform Student Loan Program
    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.
