I actually have 2 bank stories...one involving he loss of my residence, and the other regarding the bank automatically attaching an automatic overdraft to my account, and continuing to honor checks that inadvertently overdrew my account and continuing to honor checks until I was significantly overdrawn and then tacking on 'inhumane' fees and fees on top of those fees....although I informed them, when I found out from the bank that I was in significant arrears, that my understanding of a 'debit account' was that if/when the account reached zero, nothing that came in would be paid and a check would bounce therefore.....apparently they have some fine print in their agreement that refutes this! Be that as it may or may not, this was just prior to the government cracking down on the policy of 'milking' overdrawn customers with LAYERS of fees and penalties. I sent a letter protesting this potentially fraudulent practice of intentionally allowing accounts to develop serious arrears so that they can 'milk' them to the CEO of US BANK.. He did not answer and I wasn't able to get anything resolved, except discovering that I was blackballed from opening another bank account. I believe that this practice is illegal and the whole banking experience, like this one, for the average guy is intimidating! The loss of my house regards, among other things, either inaccurate, or no appraisal's..horribly inaccurate and over-valued estimates of property value, and bank collusion with mortgage companies to 'create' numbers, at any cost, that will work to acquire the fraudulent loan! I could go on and on......I believe that my house was stolen from me!

As a practicing Doctor of Chiropractic Healthcare, I know first hand that the vast majority of Americans (especially the military veterans returning home) need Chiropractic Care. It is also blatantly obvious that most of those same people would take advantage of those benefits, if; covered the same as seeing any other type of doctor.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is proposing changes that would raise ticket prices by up to 43%, eliminate all weekend and late-night train services, cut bus routes, and affect nearly 100 million riders a year. Not only is this a prohibitive raise in prices, especially for elderly and young riders, but local tourism will be devastated by the loss of service and many cities who built affordable housing near train stations will be severely impacted. On top of this, thousands of citizens will be unable to get to work via public transportation, leading to increased traffic and pollutants in numerous communities. The MBTA and State Government need to work harder to investigate alternative methods of funding and find new revenue projects, as well as exploring other restructuring options in order to save commuters and their communities the financial and environmental impact of these crippling measures.

The amount of interest owed on student loans is unconscionable.

John Boehner has invested a lot of money in Canadian Oil Companies and is pushing to pass the Keystone XL Pipeline at any cost, including tying it to the next payroll tax cut extension. He has invested $365,000 in seven companies that would benefit from the Keystone Pipeline approval, setting himself up to reap great financial rewards from his investment. We are calling for his resignation. http://www.politicususa.com/en/john-boehner-keystone-scandal

There should never be a petition sign allowing anyone to bully anyone ever! That's proposterous!!!

Everyone depends on the commuterrail on the weekends. I myself use it on the weekends. It is very very important to a lot of people to keep it running.

Facebook founders are forcibly going to change our profiles to the so called timeline, therefore making it more stalker friendly with confusing ways of hiding our information.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which was enacted on 11/12/1999 by than President Bill Clinton, is the genesis and cause for the banking corruption we are now experiencing in this country. This law removed key components from the Glass-Steagall Act which was enacted on 6/6/1933 as an effective and most enduring way to ensure the integrity of our banking system. After the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Act, there have been an onslaught of illicit and criminal acts perpetuated by the very banks that caused the Great Depression. These banks, with impunity, have manipulated our political leaders to do their bidding. Therefore, we are requesting the Gramm-Leach-Bliley-Act and the 74 CFTC Act are reenacted to ensure our banks are not allowed to become "too big to fail" and to enact laws to protect themselves from their crimes.

Fracking destroys our forestry, water and our lives! Stop fracking in PA before danger reaches YOUR doorstep. If you think it can't happen to you, THINK again!
