Tell the DGA to Stop Doing the Koch Brothers' Dirty WorkLast week the Democratic Governors Association filed a lawsuit, on behalf of consultants, to eviscerate CT's laws making it illegal for independent expenditure to be coordinated with campaigns. This lawsuit, if successful, will allow the Koch Brothers and their consultants to coordinate--making existing campaign finance restrictions obsolete.1,116 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tom Swan

Safeway CEO: Label GMOsWhen I’m buying food at Safeway, I should be able to make an informed choice. But Safeway doesn’t label its products that contain genetically modified ingredients, or GMOs. While more research needs to be done to understand the full impact of GMOs, they are not without risk. For example, GMOs are responsible for a 400 million pound increase in pesticide use in the United States between 1995 and 2011 [1]. And GMOs don’t undergo independent safety testing before they’re allowed onto the market, which the American Medical Association recommends [2]. It’s time for Safeway to follow the lead of other grocery chains like Whole Foods and label GMOs in its store-brand products so that we can decide for ourselves whether or not we want to eat GMOs.

Don't Leave Poor People Out of the Minimum Wage DebateWhen a buyer asks a post-sale question, eBay deceptively opens a case for the buyer, and the seller will get a defect unfairly even after the seller resolves the case to the buyer’s satisfaction. One Top-Rated Seller has 417 resolved cases. Under proposed new Seller Performance Standards, he will be punished with 417 defects even though buyers were completely happy. His defect rate will be below eBay's minimum standards for selling on eBay. eBay’s unfair and deceptive new Seller Performance Standards will affect over 25 million sellers. Many Top Rated Sellers will be punished and fall below eBay's new minimum standards, and their selling privileges will be restricted or limited after November 20, 2014.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bennett Yang

Philadelphia: Tell Comcast to Pay Its Fair SharePhiladelphia is renegotiating a "franchise" deal to let Comcast, headquartered right here in Philly, sell cable in our neighborhoods for another 15 years. While our cable and Internet rates go up, our city struggles with big budget cuts - and Comcast's taxes are less than half the average of what other Pennsylvania businesses pay. With this new franchise, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to lower our rates, ensure quality, affordable Internet service for poor and working folks, and to get Comcast to pay its fair share to the city that gives it so much.3,687 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Sassaman

Help Elizabeth Warren Change Wall Street and Pass the 21st Century Glass-Steagall ActSenators Elizabeth Warren, John McCain, Maria Cantwell, and Angus King have introduced a bill that would make the biggest banks simpler and smaller and once again end the public subsidy to Wall Street speculation. By requiring banks to focus on lending to the real economy, the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act would point the way toward a financial system that better serves consumers, small businesses and the nation as a whole.12,886 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by James Lardner

Gov. Brown: GIVE 500,000 CALIFORNIA KIDS A STRONG STARTMaking sure every child has access to early learning is a smart investment for California – and it’s the right thing to do. Children who attend preschool are more likely to perform better in school, graduate from a four-year college, and be consistently employed later in life. Let's tell Governor Brown we want everyone, including corporations, to pay their fair share so we can invest in priorities like expanding early learning for all kids!357 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Stelmach, California Fair Share
