We need a national usury law!We could payday loans, car title loans and outrageous credit card fees by limiting interest to 10%. It's interesting that when debtor countries in Europe had their loans at 7% interest the loans refinanced because at 7% interest it was considered unrealistic that the loans would ever be repaid. So why are we paying 20% or more on credit card balances?22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Reynolds

STOP WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS NOWWrongful convictions are at epidemic proportions! DNA evidence has released many innocent citizens. Prosecutor and police misconduct to close a case, and ensure a "high conviction" rate keeps this epidemic alive and well. In Florida, Harold W. Scism became victim to a wrongful conviction in 2009. He was given a life sentence for a crime that never occurred. There was no evidence nor DNA evidence. The prosecutor, known for her high conviction rate, was later given the judgeship. Enough is enough. STOP wrongful convictions NOW!!!651 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Dolores R. Peers

Political insider tradingCongress for years has apparently excepted itself from criminal laws relating to insider trading and placed itself above the law. There is absolutely no justifiable reason why Congress should not be subject to the same laws as the rest of society. This creates a double standard and leads to corruption and undue influence by a special interest group.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Harry Anderson, Esq.

Shorten political campaignsNational political campaigns begin a year or more prior to elections, leaving most voters weary of ads and news reports, bored by debates, tuned out to the issues and aggravated by candidates. Limiting campaigning time to four months prior to the election would allow candidates to focus on current issues and still provide plenty of time for voters to cast informed votes.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cathy Cowen

Supreme Court Mistake Corporations Are Not PeopleThe supreme court committed a grave error in treating corporate speech the same as of human beings. (Citizens United) This decision allows corporate money to flood the political process and will corrupt our democracy. It will reshape the way elections are conducted. We're calling on all U.S. citizens to demand that the control of our elections be returned to "the people" and not corporations. Congress should legislate to fix the error of the Supreme Court10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lori Appeldoorn
