Stop sending our technology and jobs to ChinaThere are more than150,000 Chinese students enrolled in American Universities. More than 80% are graduate students and most of them have their tuition and living expenses paid for by federal taxpayer funded grants. These students are learning economic and military technologies that they take back to China and set up businesses to compete with American businesses and to modernize their military. American professors have gone to China to lecture on anti-satellite weapons, cruise missile guidance systems, ballistic missile nose cone technology and many other military and dual use technologies. If we stop subsidizing these students through taxpayer funded grants we will create more of an incentive to recruit American graduate students in engineering and science.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Douglas Smith

Stop Arresting Florida's Students and Start Educating ThemLast year alone, police made over 16,000 arrests of students in Florida Public Schools. The vast majority of these arrests were for minor misbehavior that could have been dealt with (at a much lower cost) by school officials. Students as young as 5 years old are being carted away in handcuffs, instead of being led to the principal or guidance counselor's office. Local school districts have failed to make significant changes to stop this trend, and it is time for the state legislature to act!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by NAACP of Florida and Advancement Project

Set Underwater Mortgages UprightLenders/Servicers/Investors should be required to set upright the mortgages of homeowners who live in their home as their principal residence and whose mortgage is upside down (owe more than the value of the home). The homeowner would then not be allowed to remove any equity (as it accumulates) for a period of about 10 to 15 years.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia McDowell

Reduce Congress's Pay!Reduce 2012 pay and benefits for all members of the U.S. House and Senate, plus corresponding reductions in costs for staff, travel and the like. In 2011, they accomplished so little that was important. No passed FY 2011 budget. No grand bargain on deficit reduction. Failure of "Super Committee" to come to any accord. Failure to extend payroll tax cut another year. Widespread failure to approve executive appointments, so that the Government could run with a full managerical complement.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dick Brown
