House Bill 4936, which is a merging of the original Senate Bills 293 and 294, has been introduced on September 14, 2011 because the original bills were cancelled due to overwhelming opposition. House Bill 4936 is still proposing changes to Michigan's Auto No-Fault System which will affect auto accident victims who need medical care because of their injuries. 4936 will still decrease the amount insurance companies pay for medical care which will lead to loss of jobs in the home care sector, a decrease in tax revenue for the State, and increased costs to the Medicaid system. The changes will hurt the State, Michigan Citizens, Auto Accident Victims, and Home Healthcare Businesses.

Demand a pledge from all news organizations to refuse to give politically motivated Think Tanks a mouthpiece to spread their political agendas regardless of affiliation. Think Tanks are the agenda mills of corporations and only serve to manipulate the public will to their political agendas. The only way to stop their influence is to refuse to give them air time to legitimize their causes.

Bahrain's Sunni-led monarchy has cracked down severly on the mostly peaceful protests in that country. The protests have been led by the country's Shiite majority. Saudi tanks have assisted the monarchy in its brutal attacks on Bahraini citizens. President Obama has deplored precisely this kind of brutality in other countries, but he has turned a deaf ear regarding Bahrain. The US Navy's Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain. The security of Bahrain rests on this Fifth Fleet, creating a situation in which the opinion of the United States matters in Bahrain. Yet President Obama and the American Congress continue to ignore or soft-pedal the gross human rights abuses in Bahrain. It is time for America to stand strong on our ideals of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the rights of a people to be heard. The United States speaks up officially in support of democratic goals in Egypt and Libya, while ignoring the police-state tactics of the monarchy in Bahrain. Please sign this petition to urge President Obama to speak out about these abuses, and to put pressure on the Bahraini monarchy to cease its persecution of those who speak for democratic ideals in Bahrain. Urge the President to use his huge influence to stop the torture, detention and other abuses in Bahrain.

Have you or someone you know tried to get a mortgage modification only to be asked over and over for the same paperwork? Has the bank stalled so much that the time runs out so you have to re-apply over and over? Have you been told to stop making payments only to then have the bank say you have to pay all the missed payments and penalties or they will foreclose? These abuses are hurting thousands of people every day who are just trying to stay in their homes and make payments that they can afford. This program was supposed to help people and instead it is crushing the people it was intended to help. We must make the powers that created this program aware of the abuses these banks are perpetrating on their customers. If government does not step in to make this right, the banks will certainly continue and this program will remain the harsh joke that it has become rather than the help to average Americans and our economy that it was intended to be.

The 14th Amendment doesn't actually grant Equal Protection to all Americans, the way that most of us have been raised to believe. There is a gradient of justice. In fact, Justice Anton Scalia went so far as to remind us in an interview with California Lawyer that issues of gender discrimination that are brought before the Supreme Court are given intermediate scrutiny while issues of race are given strict scrutiny, even though they're both immutable traits. (http://www.callawyer.com/story.cfm?eid=913358&evid=1) EQUAL PROTECTION SHOULD MEAN EQUAL WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. Right now, the Supreme Court is also more willing to promote the rights of corporations above its citizens, when it is their job to interpret the Constitution and adjudicate cases based upon it - not to create new law; that is the legislature's job. In one amendment, we can remind our Supreme Court that corporations are not equal to people, but are made of people, and are not deserving of natural rights, and welcome traditionalist justices into the 21st century with a the meaning of equality that every American understands as true.

In any deficit reduction packages, Congressional compensation must be lowered in accord with proposed reductions in compensation for federal employees or repicients of governmental assistance.

Government has borrowed from Social Security for over 40 years. Money they've never paid back. If they paid back the Billions they've "borrowed", then it would be solvent. Millions of people depend on Social Security to survive. Don't let government destroy it but make them accountable for the past administrations for borrowing from it.

Climate science clearly states that we must start NOW or the planet will, AT BEST, be significantly degraded lowering the average standard of living. Environmental groups each has a tree (issue) that it focuses on; but they need to join together and save the forest. The forest will be saved by national climate legislation..
