Anyone who invests in the Stock Market and loses money, gets to claim that money off their Taxes, and not just for the year in which they lost money but can spread it over multiple years to reduce their Income Taxes, additionally they pay a very small tax on Capital Gains for those stocks which actually make them money and additional Tax Breaks for holding Stocks for a period of time. It's time to end these Perks for the Wealthy. Why should average American's Taxes be used to cover the losses of those who choose to play the Stock Market and why shouldn't they pay their full Taxes on their Winnings? It's time to end these policies which have virtually no benefit for the Average American Tax Payer and greatly benefit the Wealthy who by and large do not work but only play the Markets to make their money. Enough is enough, everyone needs to pay their Taxes.

An automatic increase in federal taxes across the board of 3-4% when our country goes to war. Military personnel and their families would be exempt. This would engage the public by requiring at least some sacrifice of everyone.

Close down military bases in foreign countries.

First steps to reverse the recent CItizens Untied decision of the Supreme Court, which essentially gives corporations unlimited power to influence elections with hidden donations

Current statutes of Trauma Care and Management in the Philippines are not adequately addressed. Its limited portrayal in every surgical service need to be recognized to allow a definite roadmap to the application of Advanced Trauma Life Support and its derivation of Trauma Levels of care applicable to every hospital. Philippine Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago introduced Senate Bill 2279 which seeks to improve Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care by: (a) empowering the Department of Health to identify designated trauma centers, (b) establishing a National Clearinghouse on Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care; and (c) providing for standards with respect to trauma care centers. A quick call to action by signing this petition to Tell the 15th Congress that it is about time to act quickly and pass Senate Bill 2279.

The United States of America has landed itself in one big, unhealthy, uncaring, disorganized, anti-intellectual, dollar-driven, wealth-centric lifeboat, after abandoning the big ship of 'prosperity-for-all' long ago, in favor of a selfish, but well-financed crew of dysfunctional rowers, who are directionally challenged, and whose course is never progressively beneficial to anyone still on board! By most estimates, we toss more than 100 people a day overboard to their deaths, because we WILL NOT (real Americans never say "cannot") establish a system of real Health Care that sees us as one people, all together, in the same boat!! Our antiquated, impotent system is LOSING LIVES!! Don't we HAVE TO CARE about that??! Please sign this petition for an equitably tax-funded, single-payer, Universal Health Care System that is state-of-the-art, and second to NO OTHER country on earth!! Please help make us healthy, by helping us to once again care about even the least able of our valuable citizens!!

We must save the middle class and the poor. Taking back Congress is the only way. We must educate the public to GET OUT AND VOTE to make this possible.

The supreme court recently carried the meaning of "corporate personhood" to an extreme, and equated the unlimited, anonymous spending of money with free speech. The effect of this on our electoral system, already direly corrupted by money, is unlikely to be constructive in any way. It may prove the end of free and fair elections in America. Are you willing to take that risk?

In Home Supportive Services for California Residents. All California Residents are affected by the mandatory 20% reduction in hours...both the providers, usually family or close relatives and the recipients who need the services that provide necessary help. This program is designed to help individuals with disabilities to stay in their home and out of skilled nursing facilities or assisted living homes by providing minimal payments which make it possible to save thousands of dollars per client...e.g. the maximum program hours are 230 /onth at $9.00/hr X 12 months = $24,220 (gross) vs. $7000/month X 12 months = $84,000. A savings of 59,780 per recipient. The vast majority of individuals only receive 80 hours per month.
