Prevention of illegal evictions of Foreclosed HomeownersAs the number of foreclosures have increased, more and more investors are attending foreclosure sales in order to purchase properties for a reduced price. The Investors are leaving the foreclosure sale and going straight to the foreclosed home in order to serve a 3/90 day notice, to begin the eviction process. The purchase of the home at a foreclosure sale does not transfer legal ownership of the property. Legal ownership is given only when the Trustee's Deed is recorded in the county in which the foreclosure sale is held. Therefore, investors are jumping the gun with the evictions proceedings, moreover, the courts are not requesting proof of ownership prior to processing eviction papers for the unlawful detainer.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Operation Reach 1 inc.

reform local news mediaLocal TV news is dominated by sensational, police scanner news. How relevant are beatings, gang brawls and crime stories to the news we can actually USE? Consumer, health, events, festivals, and other significant stories are displaced by the concept "if it bleeds, it leads." Isn't it time for a positive constructive change?15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by buck challenger

No Cuts for us until Congress cuts theirs!With all the talk about cutting practically every social program that works, we hear nothing from Congress about cutting their salaries or benefits. Seniors are suffering the most. We've had no increase in Social Security in three years while our expenses skyrocket. No cuts to our programs until Congress cuts their salaries and pensions at least 25% including their summer vacations. Our Country is on the brink of collapse, unemployment, in reality, is more like 18% when counting everyone who has given up and they have six weeks vacation. Congress works for us not the other way around!40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marion Wipf

Alternative transportationAdvocate for more rail service lines,for Amtrak to recieve federal funds to build such and then be mandated to offer affordable pricing. This will greatly reduce the need for cars. Trains are less polluting than cars or buses. Also, mandate funding for bicycle and pedestrian lanes. Establish a carpooling list for those unable to travel via trains/bicycles.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lori Landsberg

Help Create Montana JobsThe Columbia Falls Aluminum Company originally provided more than 350 good-paying, union jobs. But it was shut down because of the dramatic rise in electricity costs following utility deregulation passed by the Montana state legislature. Now, the Bonneville Power Administration is proposing to enter into a power sales agreement that would provide affordable power service to the company beginning April 1, 2012. This agreement will allow the company to reopen its doors, creating renewed opportunities for jobs in the Flathead Valley, a region with an unemployment rate of 11.4 percent.115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Al Ekblad, Montana State AFL-CIO
