Taxpayers rights to oil from Federal LandsOil drilled on Federal lands belongs to us, the taxpayers, not the oil industry. It is time for us, the taxpayers to have a say in how the oil is used and what the payment from the oil companies should be to us, the taxpayers.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rich Castle

Hold UC Trustees AccountableThe University of California Trustees are giving themselves outrageous increases in salaries and benefits (which are already outrageous) at a time when they are raising tuition for students. These decisions should be taken from the hands of the "Trustees" and left to the discretion of the voters.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Carnes

The need to develop human capital in the USMy daughter currently owes $150,000 because she went to architecture school. Her skills are immensely valuable to the nation - she should not have to bear the entire burden of paying for her specialized educationl. All the structures in this country have to be converted to green, self-sufficient energy in the coming decades if we are to survive the energy crisis and architects are, therefore, needed for national security for the US.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by john wood

Student Loan Forgiveness Act 2012The State of NH has one of the highest (if not highest) student loan debts in the nation. On average, a student in NH finishes college with at least $30,000 in student loans. To make this situation worse....we are unable to find jobs at a rate where we can begin to make the payments back 6 months after graduating. Do we really want students to be discouraged at continuing their education because of this? I'd hate to think of the consequences of this happening. Lack of qualified workers in certain jobs would then create poorer productivity and thus affect our State's reputation.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Hubbard

The Employee Drug Test Protection ActI am a bill, I have yet to be introduced into legislature. If you value your Civil Liberties, and you right to privacy, I am a bill that will fight for you much like the Employee Polygraph Protection Act fights for you now!!! Every year over 10,000 hard working Americans lose their jobs over inaccurate, improper and false drug test results. Every year we spend Billions of dollars on testing people without cause. This illegal search is being used, instead of judging peoples performance on the job. It is time the myriad of Drug Tests that everyday ordinary citizens are being subjected to on a constant basis in this "free" country comes to an end. It is time to end the illegal search and seizure, the religious and racial discrimination, and terrible stigma that is pre-employment random and suspicion-less drug testing. Wouldn't you agree?? Then do something. ONLY YOU can really make a difference. ..154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Silas Johnson

Enough with the Motel 6 murders & drugsThis is a strong matter in our community. We NO longer feel safe and would like someone to step in and make it a better place for everyone. The motel 6 has had so many murders, suicides, prostitutes and we see drug deals happening in and out of that place, so much that our kids are questioning us about how safe it is for us. We want this motel closed down and would like a grocery store or some type of new venue to take place there.117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Johnson

Service Student Loan RepaymentMany young American citizens are struggling under the burden of debt accrued while earning a college degree, debts which they took on under the understanding that such a degree would improve their opportunities to find employment. The youth of this country have been disproportionately impacted by the economic downturn of 2008 and unemployment/underemployment still remains high. Many are postponing important life decisions like buying a home or starting a family due to the burden of student loans. We propose allowing these citizens to repay their loan through volunteer service hours in their own communities. Furthermore, we seek to retroactively increase the education award given to Americorps members by 30% in recognition of the service they gave to their nation.121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Heim

Say NO to H.R. 4170.Representative Hansen Clarke of Michigan has just introduced H.R. 4170, the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012, in the House of Representatives - legislation designed to ... basically act as a bailout for students with more debt than they can handle... sound familiar Wall Street? For a brief summary of H.R. 4170's main provisions, please copy & paste this URL into your browser: http://tinyurl.com/7akydbk I know that many students out there are happy to sign a petition that might give them some relief from their financial obligations, but who wouldn't? But Congress isn't just there to listen to its constituents who want a handout, it has a responsibility to consider the effects of its decisions on all constituents and their future. I myself have student loans, and I have worked in the student loan industry and seen the problem. But let's consider the REAL problem. Rising tution and rising unemployment. Why is this happening while there is also a TALENT CRISIS? That's right! Companies all over the country are searching the GLOBE for more skilled workers, meanwhile 9% of America is unemployed. Let's nip this in the bud. We need corporations, universities and government policy working together to promote job training in the sectors that NEED for employees. So, sign this petition to let congress know you don't want them to sign H.R. 4170, and that you want them to focus on policies that will bring down tuition and increase opportunities for job training and education in fields that are in demand. I'd rather see that money go to re-educate people and GARAUNTEE them a job. That will boost the economy far more than a hand-out for the 9% of the population fighting for jobs that don't exist. Let's get our corporations investing back in America too. Companies need to help educate America and fill their workforce too. Let's start encouraging this, instead of bailing out America for promising its children great jobs while America puts itself in more debt training for the wrong jobs. There might be 375,000 people who want their student loans forgiven, but I hope there are 375,000 people who want a better solution to our economy's struggles. The solution is out there, but it isn't H.R. 4170. DO NOT PASS H.R. 4170!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Trevor Gast
