• Shining a Light on the Predatory Opportunists at Garside Homes!
    A few weeks ago nearly 1,500 individual supporters signed a petition supporting the Iwarimie family’s fight to save their home. Shortly afterwards hundreds of supports called Ray Salerno, the President of Garside Homes, to appeal to him personally on the family’s behalf. Despite the growing movement of people supporting the Iwarimies, Garside Homes is moving full speed ahead to put another New Jersey family out on the streets. Garside Homes is in the business of preying on families facing foreclosure – and their shady behavior raises serious red flags. They scoop up distressed mortgages for pennies on the dollar and bully homeowners into leaving their homes in order for Garside to reap huge profits. Not only that, the building featured as Garside Homes’ office on the company’s website is a sham – Garside’s sign has been PhotoShopped onto the building, which they’ve never occupied – we know because we went there and asked. Why the deceit? We need to send a strong message to Garside Homes that their business practices are not welcome in Newark or anywhere else. Will you sign this petition to let them know you support the Iwarimie family and want Garside to drop the foreclosure suit against them? On Friday, September 19th, a judge will re-consider the Iwarimie’s foreclosure case. We hope justice will prevail in the court, but Garside Homes could drop the case altogether if they choose. Please sign this petition (which will send emails to Garside Homes staffers) - let them know that thousands of people are watching them, and that we won’t stand quietly in the shadows while deceitful opportunists prey on hard-working homeowners!

  • Football Fans Take A Stand!
    I find the NFL's recent handling of domestic abuse and child abuse by star players to be abhorrent to the rules of our society. I would like the league to fairly & uniformly mete out punishment to star players & scrubs, alike. And I would like to see the NFL reveal what it stands for by making unequivocal statements regarding domestic abuse & child abuse.

  • Join the Fight to DROP RUSH LIMBAUGH
    During a rant on sexual assault, this week Rush Limbaugh asserted that sometimes “No means yes.” 
We knew we had to take action after Limbaugh’s reprehensible rant excusing rape on college campuses. In case you missed it, Limbaugh actually said, “’no means yes’ if you know how to spot it.” Here is the audio: http://goo.gl/jIplNt It’s completely unacceptable.

 We want to get as many people as we can pressuring Rush Limbaugh’s sponsors to pull their ads from his show. Sign your name and demand that companies pull their advertising from Rush’s program.

  • MoveOn donors are real!
    You can't make this stuff up: Secret recordings just surfaced of the Koch brothers' top lawyer talking about MoveOn. He couldn't find our name on a list of groups funded by millionaires—so he protested that the list must be wrong. The Kochs and their friends apparently can't believe you--a MoveOn donor--exist. Their political world is so dominated by billionaires that they literally can't imagine a genuine grassroots organization with millions of average Americas as members, and hundreds of thousands of $5, $50, and $500 donations. If enough MoveOn donors sign this petition, we'll print up a cheeky card to the Koch brothers' organization—signed by the thousands of MoveOn donors around the country who power our work—with the message: "We exist! And we're fighting to take our democracy back."

  • Rep. Rigell: Plug the "Burger King" loophole
    Right now, a corporation can dodge billions in taxes just because it buys a company in another country, then claims to be headquartered there. It's known as an "inversion" and it's just another way big companies can avoid paying their fair share. Today it's Burger King, but there are a lot more companies lining up behind them. Last month, public pressure stopped Walgreens from moving abroad. Over the last few weeks, we have put Burger King on notice about their move to Canada. Now it's time we close this loophole all together. It's time to plug this loophole, and stop companies from leaving and forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. We can't let big corporations continue to dodge taxes with high paid tax lawyers -- everyone should play by the same rules. How can we invest in education or job growth if large, profitable companies are scheming to avoid paying their fair share? We have a real opportunity to close this loophole right now -- but we've got to strike while the iron is hot. With all the scrutiny being paid to this issue while Burger King is in the process of declaring itself a Canadian company, we can push lawmakers to take up the issue. So far, Rep. Scott Rigell hasn't signed on in support of this common-sense idea -- that's why we need people like you take action.

  • Sprint: Paying for phones that do not receive service
    I have been with sprint over 5 years and the service gets worse yearly. I'm paying over $130 a month for service that doesn't work. I constantly experience dropped calls and no data connection which means my emails and text messages will not come through. The only time service half-way work is if you're connected to Wi-Fi which doesn't help all the time either. Sprint should release all customers from their contracts free of charge if there is no coverage in their area, especially if it shows that on their website when you type in your address. It should not be legal to sell phones that don't work in certain areas.

  • Objection to Black Hills Power Rate Increase
    Black Hills Power increased rates in 2008, 2012 and last year in September 2013. Now they are requesting to increase another 650 kWh per day this year. If approved, this increase will take place this October. It is unfair to the customer to increase rates for their personal expansion.

  • END NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA NOW!!!
    I see too many images of Black people that are associated with racist stereotypes. It's especially true in reality TV, the news and music videos. There are limited representations of Black people on TV and most of what's on give Black Americans bad images which, as research proves, can affect the mindset of people who watch it. I am asking for an investigation into the corporate media's practices that promote these harmful images and hold them accountable! There is racism within the media and it has to stop!
