The unlimited hidden money unleashed by Citizens United is taking over our democracy. It’s one of the most important issues of our times, because every governmental decision is distorted by money from wealthy interests. Candidates and elected officials need to know that voters are watching what they do about it. That’s why the California Clean Money Action Fund has a candidate questionnaire for candidates to answer whether they would support legislation for true disclosure on political ads and for public financing of election campaigns. Please sign the petition to tell all California candidates for Assembly, Senate, and statewide office that you care about the California DISCLOSE Act and the questions on the California Clean Money Action Fund survey -- and that you’ll be looking for their answers when you vote. We’ll send you their answers on the candidate questionnaire!

We as concerned parents/care givers don't feel that it is appropriate to have a rated R television serious on a "Jr" network television regardless what time it is. There are children that are up at that time of all ages weather they are sick or fighting bedtime. Its is wrong and false advertising. Nick jr is and always has been for young children. We need Blues Clues,Wonder Pets,or Yo Gabba Gabba on not rated R innaprorate shows on .

I am not one for unneeded violence or violence where someone is brutally killed. That being said games like Grand Theft Auto, World of Warcraft, and Super Smash Brothers are all games i play because killing isn't the objective but something you do in the game to advance a story, enjoy yourself, or make in game decisions. "Hatred" has no story, no care for the individuals in it, and no need to honestly be made. Everyone will cry and say "oh well its just a game, games don't make people into killers or crazy people", and personally i 100% agree. However this "game" isn't really your conventional shooter where you kill aliens trying to destroy your planet, or where you shoot fireballs at zombies, or even where you can stick a goats tongue to an axe and chase people around. This "game" is a murder-suicide simulator. This allows people who are so inclined to take up arms against "the human worms feasting on the worlds carcass". - an actual quote from the player character You play as a man who wants to for no real reason kill any person that he sees and die. The creators of the graphics engine that brought this game into being is actively seeking that their logo is removed from this game as to how awful it really is. I urge everyone to sign this petition to remove this game from the shelves before it even gets the chance to make it into a TV ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrX7G-1xPLs Game Trailer link for reference above.

Despite branding itself as a "green" leader, eBay remains part of a climate denial group that argues global warming is "possibly beneficial." It doesn't make sense, especially after Google, Facebook, and Yahoo! just dumped the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) for "literally lying" about climate change. Let eBay's CEO know "green" leaders don't fund and associate with climate change denial.

I feel she was fired unjustly

The great majority of Americans believe that "the playing field is rigged" in favor of the wealthy and well-connected. The Cut Tax Loopholes Act, introduced by Sen. Carl Levin in February 2013, and which inexplicably has only one co-sponsor to date, R.I. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, seeks to address one part of our unfair "playing field" - tax loopholes. Amongst these is the "carried interest" loophole that allows hedge fund and private equity managers to have the bulk of their income, earned from managing their respective funds, taxed at a much lower capital gains rate rather than at ordinary income tax rates. The top hedge fund manager in 2013 reportedly made $3.5 billion, which based on a 40-hour workweek and 50- week work-year was over $29,000 per minute! Permitting this loophole and the others addressed by the Cut Tax Loopholes Act is an affront to every hard working American who believes in the American dream based on “working hard and playing by the same rules.”

“If you don’t have insurance, you need to get out of here.” That’s not something you’d ever want to hear from your hospital, but according to legal testimony, it's what Prem Reddy, CEO of Prime Healthcare, said to the former chief emergency room nurse at Desert Valley Hospital. And now Prime healthcare wants to buy the Daughters of Charity hospital system where I work--six hospitals with over a hundred years of service to California’s neediest patients. Daughters of Charity hospitals have operated in low-income communities as a safety-net healthcare service, with the stated mission of serving the sick and the poor, regardless of their ability to pay. Meanwhile, Prime Healthcare has admitted to being under investigation for allegedly overfilling Medicare, and they have a track record of ignoring community needs, eliminating health services, and laying off dedicated caregivers in order to maximize profits. Luckily, we still have a chance to stop this sale in its tracks. California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who has fought on behalf of low-income and vulnerable communities, has to approve the sale. If we can show her how a sale of Daughters’ hospitals to Prime would hurt these hospitals’ mission of service to the poor, we can convince her to stop the sale! We know that Prime is the wrong buyer for these hospitals. They are wrong for the patients, wrong for the communities, and wrong for the healthcare workers like me who have given our lives to service. Twenty-nine state legislators, 14 community organizations, and four county supervisors across California have already urged Harris to block the sale to Prime Healthcare. Now we need to add our voices.

I have 2 young kids and when my 7 years old daughter asked what was that scary image on the billboard, that's when I realized that our children are being subjected to images that are not appropriate for their age. This billboard was an advertisement for Halloween; it was very graphic and scary.

We strongly feel that neither the Niagara Bottling Company nor any other water bottling company should have rights to take water from Cooper Lake, which is the water source for the City of Kingston and Woodstock. Cooper Lake is man made, and supplied by only one source. At a time when our climate is changing, more droughts, like the one of 2012, are likely to occur and our residents simply cannot afford to let our water be drawn out and sold to people in other regions. Water is for people, not corporate interests.

We, the People, are working to stop this sale because it is against the best interests of the people.

Why does Laura Ingraham think it's annoying when a Latino's name is pronounced correctly? After journalist Jose Diaz-Balart translated on-air for a Spanish-speaking immigrant, Ingraham went on an anti-Latino tirade, complaining it was "annoying" Diaz-Balart was correctly pronouncing the woman's name with a Spanish accent: "He also did the annoying thing—saying her name in the native tongue at the very beginning when he introduced her," Ingraham complained on her radio show. "You cannot just say Maria Cruz Ramirez [with no accent]. You are such a gringo if you say that. You cannot say that." This isn't a first for Ingraham. She has a history of inflammatory language, once even calling the U.S. citizen children of immigrants, "anchor fetuses." The worst thing is that ABC, a mainstream network, is legitimizing her extremist rhetoric by keeping her on the payroll as a news contributor. Does ABC really want someone like Laura Ingraham representing them? Tell ABC News to drop Laura Ingraham as a contributor. Her ugly rhetoric doesn't deserve to be rewarded.

Karl Rove's group "American Crossroads" is intentionally misleading voters and inciting anger in Iowa. His latest ad in Iowa attacks the Democratic candidate for US Senate in Iowa, Bruce Braley, by citing a famously discredited Heritage Foundation study on immigration reform which was written by a fringe researcher who believes immigrants and Latinos inherently have lower IQs than native whites. And if that's not bad enough, his ad says the Senate immigration bill is "amnesty" --- a claim Karl Rove knows is completely false. In fact, last year, Karl Rove himself wrote, "It is also important that Republicans avoid calling a pathway to citizenship "amnesty." Amnesty is the forgiveness of wrongdoing without penalty[...] The current Senate bill has plenty of penalties and hurdles for those here illegally who seek citizenship. " Our democracy has no place for people like Karl Rove who intentionally mislead voters in an attempt to incite anger. Please join with us and demand that Iowa TV stations refuse to run this ad.
