• Monsanto: We won't let you sue Vermont for GMO Labeling!
    There's lots of discussion about what the long-term effects of GMOs might be, but one thing should be above debate: Consumers should know what they're eating and what they're feeding their kids.

  • Jewel-Osco: Label GMOs
    We’re launching a campaign to show grocery chains, like Jewel-Osco, that their customers want GMO labeling, and persuade them to follow the lead of other grocery stores like Whole Foods. We have a right to know what’s in the food we buy, so we can make healthy, responsible, and informed choices about what we’re eating. Sign this petition to Jewel-Osco President Shane Sampson and ask him as a customer to label GMOs in store-brand products.

  • Walgreens: Follow CVS's lead and stop selling cigarettes!
    CVS/Caremark was the first chain of national pharmacies to take tobacco products off the shelves, but this should be just the beginning. Now we need to encourage other national drugstores to follow suit. "We have been evaluating this product category for some time to balance the choices our customers expect from us with their ongoing health needs," Walgreens spokesman Jim Graham said back in February. They need to hear from us that this is what their customers want. Cigarettes cause more than 480,000 deaths annually in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

  • Don't let Jeff Bezos keep extorting publishers and "erasing" authors!
    Brad Stone's "The Everything Store" describes Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' relationship with publishers as "a cheetah [pursuing] a sickly gazelle." Now we're seeing the same people who published activist heroes like Lawrence Lessig get shut out by the biggest bully in publishing.

  • Animal Planet Sponsor Boycott
    I started a commentary about this program on Animal Planet's Facebook page and have received over 3,500 supportive comments. This also spawned a MoveOn petition demanding the show be cancelled. I would like to reach everyone who signed that petition (over 6,000 at last check). If you could alert them to this petition, this one will receive broad support.

  • Regulators: Don't approve AT&T's DirecTV buy-out!
    Like Comcast before it took over Time Warner, AT&T has the power and resources to offer new and better services to their customers without purchasing another company. The telecommunications industry needs more competition, not more mergers.

  • Help Hold Nefarious Anonymous Companies Accountable for Financial Crime & Corruption!
    Anonymous Delaware companies have been used to facilitate drug smuggling, arms trafficking, and anonymous campaign contributions; force foreclosures on ordinary Americans; and launder the proceeds of overseas corruption. As a corporate leader, we need to ensure our state is not being used by criminals for illicit purposes. The Incorporation Transparency and Law Enforcement Act will require states to collect beneficial ownership information from companies (the real person profiting from the company), which will allow law enforcement to track illicit funds and activities more efficiently and effectively. The bill exempts publicly listed companies and would apply to all U.S. states, so does not create any competitive disadvantages for Delaware.

  • Save Capitalism: Oppose ATT & Comcast Telecom Mergers
    The Founding Fathers encouraged thousands of newspapers to circulate by allowing them to use the US Postal Service without paying postage. Why? To encourage the innovation and creativity that comes from the open marketplace of thought. Now we have a handful of organizations controlling most global communications and producing most of our entertainment. Furthermore, tens of thousands of jobs may be at stake. Diversity of opinion is at risk. Net neutrality will be destroyed in three years. Our public square is disappearing. And finally, millions of dollars in fees will go to consultants and contractors before the public sees an ounce of benefit.

  • 100 Day Countdown: Hold HECO Accountable to Clean Up the Grid
    I am concerned about the future of HECO. I think the public utility is important to all of us, and they are not moving to face the future fast enough. The recent problems with the delay of rooftop solar for a lot of people I know demonstrates how badly HECO needs to modernize.

  • New York Times: Shame on you for killing the NSA exposé!
    Then-executive editor Bill Keller deliberately buried an exposé a decade ago that would have exposed the warrantless surveillance of millions of Americans, only releasing a heavily redacted version when reporters threatened to publish articles independently.

  • Unlock T-Mobile Sony Xperia Bootloaders
    This petition is about allowing us Xperia users like me to unlock our bootloaders and to install custom roms, even though it can void warranty to do such things to our phone. People like me take the risk just so our phones can have a better user experience. These are our phones we bought, and I think we should be allowed to do what we want with our phones.
