Since Citizens United monies have been pouring in from very wealthy oligarchs and plutocrats both in this country and abroad. Now is the time to ask the people abroad to join with the people here to speak out THROUGH OUR MEDIA for democracy and a fair vote in this country uncontaminated by the lies and voter suppression tactics being bought in this important upcoming election.

J'accuse: You have accused two of our Citizens, Members of Government. You have yet to provide one shred of evidence that amounts to more than blatant accusation. Thought the Dreyfuss "trial" had settled such matters, clearly. Another reference: Martin Niemoller, Lutheran Pastor WWII. Measure up. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out

I am a transsexual woman. Every medical plan Kaiser and the other big insurers offer specifically excludes me and people like me from getting treated for our congenital birth defect. Health coverage that only covers things you don't have is no coverage at all. We are the only group of people still singled out for this type of discrimination. We are calling upon our state legislature and Governor Brown to eliminate these discriminatory restrictions and include transsexuality in the list of essential medical services to be offered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The law has become so complex that attorneys who have studied law all their lives do not know what it means, and so it seems to be redefined by the courts. Therefore, We the people who can no longer know much less follow the many arbitrary and sometimes unconstitutional laws which violate the Declaration of Independence, pretition both state and federal levels of congress to reduce the laws down to basic principles which are acceptable to 90% of both houses and must be printed on no more than 20 pages.

Russian punk band Pussy Riot members were found guilty of “hooliganism” by Russian judges for performing an anti-Putin song in a cathedral. They've not been allowed to see friends, family or children, and face up to 7 years in prison. Tell the Russian authorities we don’t stand for this. Putin could be in power until 2024, tell him that freedom of speech is a basic human right.

Australian Schapelle Corby checked in 4 bags at Brisbane Airport which were underweight. The Qantas system flagged her bags as being 5kgs overweight at Sydney Airport whilst Schapelle was in transit (with no access to her baggage). In Indonesia, one bag was found to contain 4.2kg (9.3lbs) of marijuana. The CCTV footage of all 3 airports have disappeared. The marijuana evidence was destroyed without finger-printing or DNA testing for country of origin despite repeated requests of the Indonesian Police by Schapelle in the presence of Australian Consular Officials. Indonesia law requires the defense to prove innocence not the assumption of innocence with the prosecution having to prove their case like in the USA, UK and Australia. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) allegedly withheld evidence from the Corby Defence Team. Schapelle received a 20 year sentence, the same as Umar Patek the Bali bombmaker who killed 202 souls, 7 American, 88 Australian. Schapelle has been diagnosed with mental illness bordering on suicidal by eminent Australian & Indonesian Mental Health Experts. Anyone transiting through Sydney Airport on that day, could have been the one.

Americans Need the Law Protecting Each Person from Unethically Behaved Individuals. This Law should Consider the Following Situations: 1. Any Individual Has a Right to Ask Questions Related to the Business of the office/company where this person came as a customer; 2. No any employee of any business should have a right to call the Police in order to do not allow / prohibit the customer asking questions related to this particular business; 3. No any employee of any business should say to anyone anything offensive as, for example, I was said by one of the paramedics of Falmouth (John...), who was one of the employees of Maine's Emergency Ambulance team, who used completely inappropriate expression while talking with me in my apartment after I called the Ambulance (having lightheadness and very bad iron defficency)... 4. In case if the employee does not know how to answer the customer's question, the employee has to call the supervisor/manager, but not ask the customer to leave the office/store..

I am a descendent of American slaves and believe deeply that a grave injustice, an economic one, has yet to be addressed and rectified when it comes to the millions of American slaves who worked without compensation and their descendents who lived, and continue to live, without the economic assistance from their families they deserved. Congressman Conyers has introduced his H.R. 40 Bill (named in honor of the unfulfilled promise of 40 acres and a mule for freed slaves) every year since 1989 and vows to continue to do so until it is passed. Recently Republicans have gerrymandered his district so that he will face a tougher fight to win re-election.

Sheriff John Lopey of Siskiyou Co., Ca and several other N. CA sheriffs have politicized their roles by interfering with environmental issues they disagree with, ignoring laws they disapprove of and inciting tea party interests that further their own narrow political views.

By its effect, the clear intent of the War on Drugs has been the suppression of Black voter rights - there are now ~20 million Black Americans that have been incarcerated & stripped of their Civil Rights generally for possession of 1 ounce or less of marijuana. The application of marijuana laws has been grossly discriminatory as comparable usage rates in the white population have produced quite low incarceration rates.

Just now, 95 percent of elections are won by the person who has the largest amount of money. The top 1% are now donating bucket loads of money to our politicians effectively silencing the 99%. Therefore campaign donations of money has become an ineffective tool for the 99% to affect policy decisions. Everyone agrees that the only way to have a fair election is by passing a robust constitutional amendment that states that corporations are not people and money is not speech. But some organizations like MoveOn, Common Cause and unions are reluctant to add all legal entities to this clause. Since Citizens United was a not-for-profit organization, it is crucial that we add all man made entities to this amendment. The opposition is united. It is time we all joined hands to make this happen. Please do not hang onto a myth that we will be able to influence politicians and policies by donating money to politicians. We have to realize that we cannot compete for money with the 1%. If you do have excess money, It is better to use that money to help the poor and give our kids scholarships and help each other. Let us stop wasting our hard earned money on politicians. So let's get together and get the movetoamend.org amendment stating corporations of all types are not persons. And speech is not money now before the elections. Do not be afraid. We have people power behind us. So once money becomes an ineffective tool, the 99% will once again have a voice in promoting good policies. It is time to unite.

I signed this petition so Muhtar Kent, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of The Coca-Cola Company and J. Alexander M. Douglas, Jr., President, Coca-Cola North America, will know that I support our First Amendment rights . . . just as their company should!
