• RESTORE THE RIGHT OF FEDERAL REVIEW
    This Petition is to restore the right of federal review which Congress stole from the American People by way of the Supreme Court Case Selection Act of 1988. In this legislation, Congress amended 28 USC 1257(a) and took the "right of appeal" to the U.S. Supreme Court to compel review from the highest decision of a State Court which infringed upon rights, privileges and immunity protected by the Constitution and Laws of the United States.

  • Cut the Chord on the Bloated Insurance Industry
    Unfair Insurance Practices (rating clients based on credit scores). Because consumers have no real voice. Left at the mercy of rabid insurance opportunists - we are victimized for declining net worth at a time when we can least afford it. It impacts you everyday - in the bottom line costs for goods, services...

  • Stop Gerrymandering
    75% of politicians in Washington DC and in many of the states are protected from being defeated fairly in elections due to the (criminal in my view) practice of Gerrymandering. Some are so ludicrous they defy all sense of logic to the electorate. This needs to stop, even if it takes a change or two on the Supreme Court.

  • Home Owner Bail Out / Compensate
    Taxpaying residents who are in process or lost their homes due to forclosure. Many of us applied for programs to save our homes and lost them anyway, because we were deemed not eligible for home mortgage bailout, loss mitigation, hardship bailout, deed in leiu of forclosure and short sale programs.

  • Legalize Marijuana
    Legalizing marijuana, like dropping alcohol prohibition, will free law enforcement for other functions. Legalizing will create jobs, and tax income, and drop the number of families ruined by possession, and property confiscation. Legalization will reduce prison populations. Each individual not incarcerated will save over $40,000 per year which could go into educational programs. Use and sale of marijuana should not be a crime, there are no victims..

  • Give our returning service women and men jobs
    Our service men and women are coming home to a very tight job market. These are proven workers; they follow direction well; they're young and strong and very capable. We owe them respect and opportunity.They should be offered jobs restoring our country's infrastructure. This could be part of their service or part of a program sponsored and paid for with grants to private companies hiring our veterans.

  • Student Loan Settlement
    While the earlier petition regarding student loans was a good start, it actually ends up costing us more in the long run. I have an idea that will infuse money into the goverment and ease the burden of those with current loans.

  • Give Disabled Veterans Commissary Privelages
    The men and women who have risked their lives, bled, and suffered injuries in defense of this nation should be given the opportunity to avail themselves of the minor discounts already available to all active duty and retired military personnel. The dependents of those heroes who have been disabled or who have given "the last full measure of devotion" should likewise be accorded access to these same privileges. "Any nation that does not honor it's heroes, will not long endure." ~President Abraham Lincoln

  • Tell Mainsteam Media to stop boycotting Ron Paul
    As we've seen the past few months, Fox News, CNN, and other news sources have done their best to alienate Ron Paul. Because he does not fit the status quo, all of these mainstream news sources have done their best to make him sound like a quack. He is treated unfairly compared to every other candidate in the GOP race. We need to let these people know that we will boycott them if they continue to show prejudice against him.
