A electronic petition has been created on We the People, a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, based on Warren Buffets solution on how to ratify Congress. If this petition gets 5,000 signatures by October 22, 2011, the White House will review it and respond! If a petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response. You can view and sign the petition here: http://wh.gov/gWX

i wish it was more tightly written. Sorry. I'd like to support a better crafted amendment.
A return to the Clinton-era tax rates is a petition I'll sign immediately.

Interesting thought process here,, when Buffet was just the keynote speaker for Obama's NYC fundraising dinner at 10K a plate. Isn't that one of the big issues of the OWS movement? Just saying..

Hey FObama - what are you talking about? go to the white house site and open it up for yourself.

Joke alert. Obama is in his last year?

Except it's from the 1%. The response will be "We carefully reviewed your petition. However at this time we do not feel there would be support in Congress to get this passed as legislation."

LOL ok. But he does own stake in Wells Fargo, and recently bought some of Bank of America. Which charties? Foundations set up by him? Run by his friends? I don't know if you think he is immune to the "dirty tricks" used by that 1%, but he is no doubt part of the "man behind the scenes".
