Audit The FedThe Fed is the left hand of Wall Street. It has no oversight, no term limits, and most of all: it's never been audited. Last year they performed their own "Audit", which had as many redactions and retractions as a pentagon report. Let do our own and see their workings in our economy and those abroad.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Grant Short

Education and Student LoansWhy has education become so expensive? It's not because children are educated better. On the contrary. They come out of our State High Schools in such a disadvantaged Educational Status, that it is so much easier for the Student to rule out Further Education1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria D Navia

End the half a century old U.S. embargo on CubaThe world has changed much since the Cuban Embargo's inception in 1960 over 50 years ago. As far back as 1975, U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy urged the U.S. government to lift the embargo and normalize relations with Cuba. "I believe the idea of isolating Cuba was a mistake," says Kennedy. "It has been ineffective. Whatever the reasons and justifications may have been at the time, now they are invalid." Now 37 years after Kennedy proclaimed it a dead policy, I, a Cuban-American, son of Cuban immigrants, call for this completely failed policy to end. Please sign this petition to help bring about a new policy that fosters dialogue and productive interaction between our two countries.430 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Eric A. Vasallo

End the Misuse of Title IX to Cut Men's Athletic TeamsWhile Title IX, in theory, is and has been a respected attempt to provide equality between genders in athletics and academics, a revision to Title IX must be considered. Countless young student-athletes are increasingly losing opportunities to compete for and enroll in higher education institutions. The negative impacts of Title IX are starting to be seen at the high school level as well. Questionable cuts have been made most recently at the University of Delaware, University of Maryland, University of California and Millersville University. The administrations at many Universities across the US have put the educational experience of its students second to profits, how well their school ranks against others, and personal career goals. Administrators are making decisions to cut teams based on short-team incentives, without taking into account the effects on students, both now and in the future. Throughout all of these cuts, administrations have found a way to manipulate Title IX to stand as its excuse. The outdated Title IX has done its job, and is now being abused my selfish administrations. While so many of these Universities are blatantly lying and acting in bad faith, nothing has been done to stop them because of the way Title IX is written and enforced. Sign this petition if you feel the current enforcement of Title IX is doing more wrong that right. Sign this petition if you demand to see a Title IX reform that ensures equal opportunities for both male and female student-athletes, and a certain level of accountability for the Universities involved.295 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Corey Wall

Stop the subsidies for ethanol from corn.The federal government subsidies the companies who produce ethanol from corn. The proponents of this subsidy erroneously believe that use of corn bases ethanol is environmentally friendly, when it has been scientifically proven that the production and use of corn based ethanol in gasoline has a negative effect on the environment. It also drives up the price of corn, beef and pork to the consumer.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bernard Patnode
