• Cut the Deficit by Bringing Home the "No-Bid Contractors"
    "No-Bid Contracts" are not capitalism; they are "Fixed Capitalism." We need to quit spending money on other countries, like Iraq and Afghanistan, and spend that money on this nation's infrastructure to create badly needed jobs! We need to "Put Country First!"

  • A simple majority in the US Senate
    Currently it takes 60 votes for a bill to pass the Senate. This rule should be changed in order that a simple majority, 51 votes, would become law.

  • Relief For the average homeowner
    Several people have found refinancing options through signature assistance. Meantime the average homeowner who is struggling with stagnant wages and increased demands on wages is struggling. Include all mortgage owners in legislation to allow those who can barely keep up with FHA and HUD loans and traditional loans to refinance even if credit is short and cash to refinance traditionally is too.

  • Reform the Election Process
    My petition would take several steps to clean up the federal election process so that one man, one vote actually means what it says. The current process is corrupted by corporate and private money, by political redrawing of election district lines, by voting restrictions and by the existence of the electoral college.

  • Extend Federal Student Loan Changes to Direct Plus Loans
    President Obama's recent change to the policies concerning federal student loans has undoubtedly helped students, but it has not gone far enough. We must call on the president and Congress to extend the benefits granted concerning graduate plus and other similar loans to Federal Direct Plus or "Parent Plus" loans as well.

  • A Price on Carbon
    Energy from renewable sources is more labor intensive than energy from fossil fuels, creating more jobs. Oil imports are responsible for nearly a billion dollars a day of the U.S. trade deficit. A price on carbon will reduce our use of coal, oil and gas and speed up deployment of renewable energy.

  • Equality for All
    There is no good reason why political leaders should be on a retirement plan, income and health benefits, that is different and better than the rest of us. After all, we voted politicians into office to serve the public, not to be served by the public.

  • Equal the playing field for Family Farm Agriculture
    As many of you know, most federal subsidies go to factory farms and not small scale agriculture. If we equaled the amount between small scale and large scale agriculture, a much larger percentage of people would have access to healthier and better tasting food, a great deal more jobs would be created at the rural and urban levels, and our economy would keep more of its money at home, instead of other countries around the world.

  • Housing for veterans/Reactivating the GI Bill
    After WWII veterans were capable of buying a house with no down payment and low interest. We have a terrible problem with so many foreclosed houses and abandoned housing stock which is killing the real estate industry until the backlog is resolved. Make them available to veterans based upon present values,write off the deficit, provide fix up funds and a VA no down payment mortgage. We help the veterans for all they have done and you will create new jobs and jump start the economy and the real estate industry.

  • Life Lines for homeowners underwater!
    There are still too many people underwater on their mortgages and contrary to government belief the Home save program isn't working for everyone. In fact a lot less people are getting home modifications than you think. They are being harrassed by the lenders and threatened. Freddie Mac among the worst! The bailouts were given, but they haven't responded with lowering the principals on the homes to what they are worth today. They should be forced to do this with a lower that normal fixed interest rate.
