I know that until we pass those two Amendments anything else that we do is really inconsequential and unworkable. We cannot pass laws limiting money and corporate power in the face of this Judicially Activist Supreme Court without this.

Kentucky Electric Power has announced it will seek a 12% rate increase to complete the purchase of half interest in the Mitchell Power Plant that is located in Moundsville, WV. This plant is currently owned by Ohio Power. Both KEP and Ohio Power are subsidiaries of American Electric Power. In effect, AEP is selling itself half interest in a power plant it already owns. AEP has already secured a 17% increase in the rates paid by its Kentucky customers so it can afford to pay itself back. Neither the 17% increase nor the sought after additional 12% increase are warranted. AEP owns that power plant outright, just as it owns both corporate entities involved in the sale of the half interest in the Mitchell power plant. It will cost AEP nothing to sell power from that plant to customers in Kentucky. I'm asking the KPSC to reject this increase.

Many USAA members want to invest in socially and environmentally responsible ways. We don't want our money to help fund industries that pollute the Earth, companies that have inhumane or unjust labor practices or that produce harmful products, and corporations that support oppressive governments. USAA's website claims: "We have made sustainability a strategic priority, working to further reduce our effect on our planet without sacrificing fiscal responsibility. We are continually adopting greener practices and tapping into new energy resources and technology." Please adopt the greener practice of allowing your members to make choices about investing their money in funds that support sustainable companies.

Just six years after a financial crisis that was caused by Wall Street, Congress has begun rolling back Wall Street reform, raising the risk that taxpayers will once again have to bail out the big banks. Instead of passing laws that create new bailout opportunities for banks that have been deemed "Too Big to Fail," Congress should end the idea of "Too Big to Fail" once and for all. Elizabeth Warren has proposed strengthening Wall Street reform by bringing back provisions that Wall Street successfully fought against -- including rules that would break up big banks instead of using taxpayer money to bail them out. Financial institutions have become so big and so powerful that they can hold the entire country hostage. That alone is a reason enough for us break them up. Enough is enough.

Burger King and its top shareholders will dodge up to $1.2 billion in U.S. taxes over four years as a result of this accounting sleight of hand. President Obama has condemned tax inversion deals, calling them “unpatriotic” because big corporations stick Americans with the tab for not paying their fair share of taxes. Inversions are legal, but unquestionably unfair. While this scheme hurts American taxpayers, it is hugely profitable for the people making it possible. Buffet is financing the inversion through his firm, Berkshire Hathaway, for a whopping 9% return on his investment. Mister Buffett, please support a fair tax system, where corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and avoid deals that make the rest of us pick up their tab.

The rich already run roughshod over the voters thanks to Citizens United and other Supreme Court decisions favoring Big Money and gutting democracy. And yet President Obama says he’ll sign a budget bill that increases TEN-FOLD the amount one person can donate to a political party during an election! The new ceiling would be $1.5 million, allowing the wealthy few to buy vast amounts of so-called "speech" –and power over elections and the government-- regular Americans cannot afford. Sign the petition strongly urging President Barack Obama TO VETO this and any other budget deal that increases the already outrageous and anti-democracy power of wealthy donors.

Because the citizens are getting a raw deal, constantly being ripped off, and our government/taxpayers are always on the hook for the greed and risky behaviors of the bankers. We think, when matured, People's Bank of U.S.A. will turn annual profits of $200 billion or more, which will be distributed as dividends to any Citizen who votes. This bank will address so many problems all at once.

We must not allow Republicans to take the country back to the economic environment and banking practices that led to the 2008 recession. If MoveOn seeks to convince Senator Warren to run for the Presidency, the organization should take immediate steps to provide loud and visible support.

Hershey Co, the American chocolate giant have filed lawsuits against British importers LBB Imports LLC (Let’s Buy British), and Posh Nosh Imports accusing the companies of infringing multiple trademarks. So, if one of your weaknesses comes in the shape of a Toffee Crisp, Maltesers, Yorkie, Cadbury, or Rolo your taste buds may soon be challenged.

To stop the erosion of healthcare benefits for retirees by large corporations (i.e.-GE, Time-Warner, IBM, AT&T, etc.). This petition supports the Rocheleau/Kaufman salaried lawsuit & the IUE-CWA hourly lawsuit Versus GE--Over Retiree Healthcare Changes. It presumes that retiree health benefits cannot be modified or terminated as of the date an employee retires or completes 20 years of service with the employer. It amends the National Labor Relations Act to make it an unfair labor practice for a labor organization and employer to enter into a contract or agreement to modify a previous agreement in a manner that results in a reduction or termination of retiree health insurance benefits, if the modification occurs after the retiree's retirement date.

Blumenfeld Development Group (BDG) and Forest City Ratner are now proposing an additional 1.1 million square feet of residential buildings above East River Plaza in East Harlem. The neighborhood opposes this mega planned urban development because it is offensive and out of scale, requiring numerous variances that will truly make this an “out of context” project.

I am starting this petition because Joe Scarborough has shown himself to be biased and shows no empathy to the parents of a murdered unarmed child.
