Executions in Ohio must stop NOW. No one should be executed under a system of justice while that very system is being closely examined to assess its fairness and accuracy. Doubt continues to erode the system: - Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor has established a Joint Task Force to examine Ohio's system of capital punishment. The Joint Task Force should be allowed to operate without the undue pressure of ongoing executions. There are currently 13 inmates with execution dates. - There is a bill to repeal the death penalty in the Ohio House - Bill 160. - There is a bill to repeal the death penalty in the Ohio Senate - Bill 270. - In January 2012, Joe D'Ambrosio became the 6th person to be exonerated from Ohio's death row, further demonstrating Ohio is at risk for executing an innocent person.

I am scared to death when it comes to health care. I really LOVE the Obama Care idea. I have had my back fused from T3 to L2 and live in pain every day of my life. This past year I have spent fighting Breast Cancer. I am going through a divorce and will be losing my insurance. I am not working and afraid of being pre existing. I am afraid insurance might cost for me. I am afraid already for the day I lose my husbands insurance. PLEASE!! Think about people like me in regards to health insurance.

In 2009 Congress and President Obama approved a $50 Billion college expense reimbursement credit to help students and families pay for college. The credit known as the American Opportunity Tax Credit or AOTC provides undergraduate college students with a refund of up to $2500 per year for education related expenses. The credit is intended to reduce the cost of attendance and to reduce the now total outstanding student loan debt which now exceeds $1 TRILLION. Although millions of hardworking, taxpaying, educated Americans are being crushed under the weight of their educational debts, while the economy continues to sputter. Many are not aware that Aid in the form of Education tax benefits are already available. According to a report by Sallie Mae nearly 55% of borrwers fail to take advantage of eligible education tax benefits, aid intended to stimulate family and community economies and limit student debt. The ineffectiveness of the implementation of the AOTC can be remedied by requiring Colleges and Universities to provide education and resources on Education related tax benefits to students and parents. In addition as identified the creation of a Social Benefits Administration division within the IRS is a predominent need of tax reform which would enhance the agencies service to the public. Sign this petition to support reducing the cost of attendence at your College or University by requiring Cash for College, resources and education for Education Tax Credits and supporting Social Benefit Administration Tax Reform. We encourage petitioners to start petitions for their College or University. For more information visit www.facebook.com/generateus or www.123taxcredit.com

African-American students in our public schools get disciplined three times more than white students, even though white students outnumber them two to one. These disciplinary actions easily escalate into unnecessary suspensions, the best predictor of dropping out of school. Students who drop out are 3.5 times more likely of getting arrested. This systematic pushing out of students from schools onto the streets disproportionately affects poor students, students of color and LGBT youth. The Seattle School Board can decide to prohibit suspensions and expulsion as a disciplinary action in schools, and use a restorative justice model to deal with conflict. When the Denver public school system began using this practice, they saw a 80% drop in school conflicts.

If you're a current or former student unable to ever catch up with student loan payments because of increasing balances due to daily compounded interest rates, help me send the message to the White House and Congress to introduce legislation that will make interest rates fixed on all existing and future government backed student loans.
