Remove Centerplate CEO Des HagueDesmond Hague, the CEO of stadium food services company Centerplate, was recently seen on video kicking a friends dog repeatedly and holding the dog off the ground by its leash. http://www.bayareasportsguy.com/49ers-issue-statement-regarding-centerplate-ceo-abusing-dog-video/ Centerplate has the food concessions at multiple sports venues across the US and Canada, including Levi's Stadium (Forty Niners) and AT&T Park (Giants). Animal abuse is inexcusable and reprehensible. Although Jed York released a statement condemning Hagues actions, we believe it doesn't go far enough. We request the Forty Niners demand that Centerplate remove Hague as CEO or be considered in breach of their contract with the Stadium and the Team, for bringing negative attention of the worst sort to teams using this company. If the Team cannot take direct action against Centerplate, we --the fans -- will boycott Stadium food services, until Centerplate replaces this abuser with another CEO and fires Desmond Hague.241 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Zack Greene

Hold CNN accountable for publishing false information linking vaccines to autismCNN has recently published an "iReport" (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1164794) claiming that a whistleblower at the CDC has proof that the CDC knew that the MMR vaccine raises autism rates by 340%, and that the CDC has covered this up. This story has been verified as false by multiple sources. By publishing this as an iReport, CNN is spreading false information that is harmful to our children, elderly, and immuno-compromised citizens, as well as to our community as a whole, because it spreads the fear-mongering that vaccines are dangerous despite hundreds of studies that prove that they are not. We are calling on citizens who are concerned about public safety and scientific integrity to boycott CNN, HLN and CNN.com until CNN removes the article, issues a retraction, and changes their policy regarding the truth in iReports.281 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Pourpak, PhD

Burger King wants to dodge taxes!Burger King announced its intent to merge with Canadian chain Tim Hortons, creating the world's third largest fast food chain. As part of the deal, Burger King would relocate its operations to Canada -- in order to take advantage of Canada's much lower corporate tax rate. This is yet another example of corporations trying any and everything to avoid paying taxes. This merger also means Burger King will become one of the world's largest poverty-wage employer. American taxpayers already subsidize the fast food industry's low wages by an estimated $7 billion dollars a year. Moving to Canada is just another way for Burger King to privatize profits and socialize costs.39,705 of 40,000 SignaturesCreated by Joe Dinkin

Burger King: Don’t Try This Whopper of a Tax DodgeBurger King is an American company worth more than $9 billion dollars. They're in talks to buy Tim Hortons Inc, Canada's largest coffee-shop chain. Burger King's sinister plan is to relocate their corporate headquarters to Ontario, Canada, thereby dodging their American taxes in a calculated move called "tax inversion." Burger King's largest shareholder, a private equity firm called 3G Capital, will win and the American people will lose. Again. Unless we stop them.94,158 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by The Other 98%

Burger King: Don’t Dodge U.S. TaxesIt was recently announced that Burger King may be merging with the Canadian chain Tim Hortons and relocating its headquarters to Canada, all in an attempt to dodge U.S. taxes. Canada has lower corporate tax rates than the United States, so Burger King wants to continue to operate across America, just not pay its fair share. This summer, Walgreens was thinking about doing something similar, but because hundreds of thousands spoke out, it ditched the effort. Now it’s time to tell Burger King to pay its fair share of U.S. taxes and keep an American address, or we’ll take our business elsewhere.4,399 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Chris Stergalas

ExxonMobil to drill in Arctic with Russian partnerExxonMobil has plans to drill in the Arctic with a Russian partner Rosneft Oil, a target of U.S. sanctions. They have taken 20 billion of our tax dollars to help them. After the Exxon Valdez , Mayflower , Yellowstone River, Brooklyn and Baton Rouge oil spills, ExxonMobil has never demonstrated safety or remorse. I am asking Americans to boycott this dangerous and unconscionable corporation.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by April Barcenas

Walgreens: We don’t need you in RosewayThe Roseway neighborhood in Portland, Oregon has recently learned of your plans to build a drive-thru pharmacy at 7040 NE Sandy Blvd. We already have two full-service pharmacies within one block of this location, making this a clear case of market saturation. We are also a growing neighborhood, looking to create a pedestrian, cycling and transit friendly future. Your plans for a drive-thru are contrary to the kind of development that neighbors will support.230 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Caitlin Shelman

Boycott Arby'sMr Dietl's views on two recent shootings have been solicited by Fox news Network. The shootings of subject were those of Trayvon Martin and most recently Mike Brown (both young men of color). Mr. Dietl's views on the incidents have been quite insensitive and display a huge lack of knowledge of a large enough segment of your customer base. My question is does Arby's view of these incidents match those of Mr. Dietl? If not why is Mr. Dietle still in your employ?103 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John W Brooks, Sr

Rob Manfred: Use a United States manufacturer to produce MLB fan apparelMy husband and I are both huge baseball fans, and we try to only buy American-made products. When my husband wanted to buy a new Milwaukee Brewers hat this spring, he was disappointed and frustrated that one made in the USA was not an option. After researching the subject, it's clear that there are U.S.-based hat and t-shirt manufacturers would be viable candidates to take over production that would not cause a steep increase in apparel prices. Given the amount of products the MLB orders, the switch could possibly even create American jobs. America loves baseball; now it's time for baseball to return the love!59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jane Lindelof

Help Me STOP land stealing. Remove this building from my Land.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by savefultonhouse

Members for a Koch-free Costco!Billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch have used their wealth to fund numerous far-right wing advocacy and policy groups, conservative and Tea Party think tanks, and Republican and libertarian political action foundations. These organizations are highly offensive to many in the Costco membership. We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the Costco Corp. discontinue carrying and distributing all Georgia-Pacific products.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jane Buder Shapiro
