House Bill 4052 would take power away from communities in order to boost corporate profits. Michigan’s 1 percent shouldn’t be allowed to overturn decisions they don’t like made by local governments, but now they’re trying to repeal local laws that reflect our values, like raising minimum wages and ensuring small business owners don’t get left behind by taxpayer-funded development projects. Protect local progress today.

As the University of Califronia continues to raise student tuition and drop the wages of the middle-class, it still finds a way to nickel-and-dime the community. A recent EPI study showed that over 93% of clerical support staff at the University of California cannot afford to meet the basic family budget for a single parent with one child in the city where they work. On top of that, the University continues to raise the student tuition and now plans to raise the parking fees for students and employees. This has to stop!

Robert Reich has got it right. Tell Congress and the 2016 presidential candidates they need to stand up to Wall Street to make the economy work better for the rest of us. Reforming the financial system is one of the central issues facing our country, and we cannot allow big-money donors to hijack our democracy and continue to rig the game in favor of the .1%. Every lawmaker and candidate for president should take a clear stand on taming Wall Street and working for a fairer and safer financial system. It's going to take all of us to make sure they do. Please join this call for action so these issues get the attention they deserve.

We should be horrified by the acts that food producers commit to animals every day, just so they can sell a snack or a meal. I've started this petition to help others understand the impacts of the egg industry - and while they may not want to stop eating eggs, they can still help support animals by demanding that the industry become more humane.

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a front for corporations to gain access to legislators that claims it's a charity. That lets ALEC's backers claim their funding for ALEC as a charitable gift and deduct it from their taxes, leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab for ALEC’s influence scheme. That's not fair, which is why we've filed a whistleblower complaint with the IRS demanding that they revoke ALEC’s charitable tax-exempt status, fine them for any violations, and make its corporate backers pay the back taxes they owe. Join us!

House Bill 4052 would take power away from communities in order to protect corporate profits. Special interests shouldn’t be allowed to overturn decisions they don’t like made by local governments, but now they’re trying to prevent local laws that reflect our values, like making our workplaces healthier and requiring community benefit agreements when taxpayer resources are used in development projects. Protect local progress today.

I believe it's important for drug companies to be liable for ALL drugs that they produce and offer to the public They should not receive immunity for vaccines. It's all or nothing.

FACEBOOK IS NOW FORBIDDING THE POSTING OF VIDEOS AND ANY OTHER PICTURES OR INFO SHOWING POLICE BRUTALITY TOWARDS BLACKS AND MINORITIES. STATING THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO POST CONTAINS VIOLENCE! WELL YES, WHEN A POLICE OFFICER IS BEATING OR SHOOTING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, IT USUALLY IS VIOLENT. AND IF YOU POST IT ANYWAY, THEY WILL SHUT YOU DOWN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ADMINISTRATORS AND MEMBERS IN GROUPS I HAVE STARTED BANNED FOR THIS VERY THING. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THEY ARE USING THE WATCH FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITY AS AN EXCUSE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST BLACK AWARENESS OF POLICE BRUTALITY. THEY ARE WALKING THAT THIN LINE OF BEING IN VIOLATION OF OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. AS LONG AS WE DO NOT PROMOTE VIOLENCE, AS LONG AS IT IS RAISING AWARENESS OF THE TRENDING OF POLICE BRUTALITY TOWARDS BLACKS, I CAN'T SEE HOW OR WHY WE COULD POSSIBLY BE IN VIOLATION OF FACEBOOK POLICY. NOW, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE IF IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR ANTI-ISLAMIC PEOPLE TO TRASH A RELIGIOUS LEADER TO THE POINT PEOPLE ARE KILLED BECAUSE IT IS THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, THE SAME APPLIES TO AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO RAISE AWARENESS AND KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE MINORITIES BEING GUNNED DOWN IN THE STREETS LIKE ANIMALS. THIS ''IS NOT'' AN ACT OF PROMOTING OR IGNITING VIOLENCE, THIS IS TRYING TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM IT, WHICH APPARENTLY THEY DON'T WANT US TO BE ALLOWED TO DO!!!!!

We have heard little about Trans Pacific Partnership and Fast Track most of the last two years, it has been inadequately disclosed to both the American public as well as to our Congresspersons who will nonetheless be asked to vote to put TPP up on Fast Track. It has been introduced by Senators Hatch & Wyden. TPP is a corporate Coup d'etat. It is NAFTA on steroids. NAFTA aka North American Free Trade Act promised to create good American jobs and financial strength but failed to do so. 600 Corporate interests and 12 Nations Reps have negotiated something that is labeled as a trade agreement but from what we know it would more accurately be identified as a treaty; a treaty for the sovereignty of multinational corporations. Corporate negotiations have occurred under a veil of secrecy lacking transparency with little interest by most of the well known media to inform the general public. Since NAFTA, personal household income has been stagnant yet corporate earnings have consistently risen . Before NAFTA , 30% of the American work force belonged to unions now it’s down to 11% .NAFTA has been a disaster despite rosy promises during the Clinton administration. NAFTA was fast tracked . TPP and Fast Track is a race to the bottom. Communication Workers President Larry Cohen has said “We have one message: No more fast Track. We need Fair Trade, ” In the wording of the current treaty, the corporations address the notion of an investor state that would have the right to sue any level of government for regulations while bypassing our judicial system through a corporate tribunal like Judge Judy. Any community which would attempt to uphold safety standards which corporations see as hindrances to their profitability and want to sue for lost future profits ( opportunity costs) would be a target. Already, Corporations should not get exemptions from disclosing the toxic chemicals used in their hydraulic fracking process (Haliburton exemption) we know fracking fluid includes Benzene compounds but the exact compounds are not required to be disclosed so when fracking fluid runs into public drinking water and destroys the underground aquifers there is not enough proof to win a suit against the frackers. We need to maintain our ability to strengthen safety and environmental standards. We need our elected officials to pay attention to our interests. Representative Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) was quoted “Having seen what I’ve seen, I would characterize the TPP as a gross abrogation of American sovereignty,” he told The Huffington Post. It is unforgivable that under Fast Track, elected Representatives of the US Congress would be granted only limited access to view sections of the document and then only after abiding by restrictions being 1) prohibition from taking notes or photos 2) prohibition from bringing assistants 3) prohibition from viewing the entire text and 4) with one hour time limits as well to view ! Considering Pres. Obama’s campaign promises of transparency , it is truly bizarre that the President would ever ask Congress to consider accepting a treaty or trade agreement without adequate time to study the corporate draft and allow for the usual debate process associated with representative democracies, republics or constitutional monarchies . The TPP corporate draft may well be characterized as the antithesis of the Declaration of Independence and Magna Carta. It does not deserve Fast Track, we the people deserve representation, TPP corporations have shown countless examples of disregard for citizens right’s to safe food, water, air to breath, environmental standards, health , jobs , living wages, medicine, internet accessibility ,alternative energy production, energy distribution and our financial stability . For over 240 years we’ve presumably elected officials to look after our interests. Although President Barack Obama originally ran for office on a platform of improving government transparency and lambasted Hillary for Bill Clinton's signing of NAFTA, the contrast between reality and those earlier promises are startling. Many Democrats and some Republicans have either signed or voiced their opposition to Fast Track. Fast Track calls for a yes or no vote by the legislator without the usual debate process and no amendments allowed. Congresswoman DeLauro of Connecticut and 150 House Democrats took the bold move and signed a letter to oppose Fast Track. Corporate giveaways must end now.

GMO's should be labeled so we can decide to buy them or not.

I am a physician who practices environmental medicine and have seen many people who are becoming ill and electrically sensitive after a smart meter was installed on their home. The thousands of scientific studies showing harmful effects from this type of radiation are not being considered by the FCC for safe limits of exposure.
