  • Democracy Is in Peril: We Need a Constitutional Amendment to Overturn 'Citizens United' and 'McCu...
    As a result of two disastrous rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, our fragile democracy is at risk of turning into a full-blown plutocracy. In the 'McCutcheon v. FEC' case, the Supreme Court recently permitted super-rich individuals to dole out as much as $5.9 million every two years to political candidates and parties. The limit had been $123,000, which -- at more than double the median U.S. household income -- already gave the 1% far more than their fair share of “influence” over elected officials. And now their power has been multiplied almost unimaginably. This ruling does for the hyper-wealthy what a 2010 ruling -- the infamous 'Citizens United v. FEC' -- did for corporations. That travesty of jurisprudence saw the high court rule that corporations can exploit First Amendment rights, where were intended for actual human beings, to spend literally as much money as they want promoting or attacking (and of course it’s usually attacking) political candidates. Together, these two dumbfounding and wrong-headed rulings make it a certainty that politicians will become far more beholden to deep-pocketed funders than they already are. The democratic ideals that form the very foundations of our nation could disintegrate around us. Unless . . . we fight back by mobilizing nationwide support for a constitutional amendment to overturn 'Citizens United' and 'McCutcheon' and to prevent the Supreme Court from misreading the First Amendment as granting billionaires and Big Business unlimited power to control our elections. Take the critical step today of adding your name to the petition right now.

  • Let California Vote Down Citizens United
    While Vice President at Common Cause, I led ballot campaigns in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Colorado and Montana where voters instructed Congress to overturn Citizens United by margins of 3-to-1. Now, it's time for a statewide vote in California. I'm running for Secretary of State, and if elected I will hold a hearing in every congressional district in California to examine whether our elected officials have complied with the wishes of their constituents and taken action.

  • Chase Bank: Unfairly Collecting Insufficient Funds Fees!
    Ever wonder how JPMorgan Chase Bank makes so much money ($96 BILLION in Revenues in 2013)? One way is through Insufficient Funds Fees. What's most disturbing is HOW Chase accumulates this money: Through the unfair practice of processing any/all checks (highest amounts first, then lowest) BEFORE processing any/all deposits each night. With this policy in place, Chase customers can - if not careful - incur multiple Insufficient Funds (IF) Fees, when these fees could be minimized or negated altogether. How so? Here's an example: Let's say on Thursday night your Chase checking account has a balance of $50 but $1,000 dollars in deposits is set to come through on Friday. You also have two outstanding checks set to come through, one for $40, the other for $60. Chase will FIRST process the $60 check, which will put your balance at $-10 (and you'll be hit with a $34 IF Fee; now your balance is $-44) and THEN process the $40 check, which will extend your balance to $-84 (add another $34 IF Fee). When the dust settles, your checking account balance is at $-118 (and Chase just made $68). Only after that, will Chase process any/all deposits. As alternatives to this current policy, Chase could: A.) Process any/all deposits FIRST and then process any/all checks, or B.) At the very least, if Chase continues to process checks FIRST, do so in the order of lowest-to-highest amounts. Using the example above, if the $40 check was processed FIRST followed by the $60 check, a customer would only incur one $34 IF Fee. If you believe this Chase Bank policy is unfair to its customers, I would appreciate your signature as well as your help in forwarding it on to others to sign. Thank You! Dan O'Bryan

  • Stop Provocative American Apparel Ads
    Right by my apartment there is an American Apparel billboard that always displays provocative images. I live in a neighborhood with thousands of children who all pass this billboard daily. I am tired of sitting back while companies push the envelope further and further. This needs to be stopped! There is a better way to advertise clothing than demeaning, sensual images that make women into sexual objects.

  • The NRA Has No Place In The Nomination Process!
    The NRA is at it again, accusing Obama’s nominee of Surgeon General of being a dangerous “radical” for daring to point out that gun violence like the tragedy at Sandy Hook is a health care issue. Forget that studies clearly support Dr. Vivek Murthy's claim — firearm suicides are the second leading cause of death for Americans under 35, and highest in states with high gun concentrations — Democratic Senators are already cowering in fear of the NRA's political clout even though most Americans disagree with the NRA's positions on every single issue! We have to tell these Senators to represent the interests of the majority of Americans - not this one radical special interest. Call on Senate Democrats to stop kowtowing to the radical pro-gun lobbyists and confirm Dr. Murphy as our next Surgeon General!

  • Don't Let the FEC get Fooled by Chevron
    Chevron and the FEC just created a loophole big enough to navigate an oil tanker through. It starts in 2012, when Chevron made a $2.5 million donation to a super PAC called the Congressional Leadership Fund, that is reportedly connected to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the National Republican Congressional Committee. This should be a big no-no for a corporation that has hundreds of government contracts, because our "pay-to-play" laws prevent companies from obtaining government work by influencing elections. Supposedly. But Chevron wasn't slowed down by pesky campaign laws. Chevron asserted that the entity that made the donation, Chevron Corporation, is separate from the one that holds the contracts, Chevron U.S.A. But Mother Jones explains why that's just slight of hand: "By any normal sense Chevron Corporation and Chevron U.S.A. look like the same company. Chevron USA is a subsidiary of the brand name company. Chevron Corporation owns a 100 percent stake in Chevron U.S.A. They share the same CEO and list the same mailing address." The commission knows the facts. And yet, they bought Chevron's outrageous argument. The FEC must re-evaluate its decision and admit the truth: Chevron broke the rules.
