Tobacco companies are marketing products with fruit, candy and alcohol flavors which are sold at local stores. We, the undersigned, believe these flavored tobacco products are created to appeal to children and teenagers in order to get them to experiment with tobacco. We believe discontinuing the sale of these products in Hawaii will ultimately protect children and youth from becoming addicted nicotine users. We strongly support a statewide law to discontinue the sale of these flavored tobacco products in Hawaii.

Hi, We the people in the state of Florida and everywhere should protect our right to free, responsible speech. There are businesses who threaten people with lawsuits with the sole purpose to shut them up and they succeed because attorneys can run as high as $300/hour. That type of lawsuit is called SLAPP – strategic lawsuit against public policy. You can read details of my case in: http://whatintegrity.biz.ht Florida has an anti-slapp legislation but applies only to government and associations and not businesses. It should include everyone. No one should be afraid to speak the truth. Please sign my petition. Without a sense of caring, there is no sense of community. Without a sense of justice, there can be no civilization. Thank you.

CBS News recently reported that, because of Obamacare, a Florida woman named Dianne Barrette would have to pay more than $500 monthly for health insurance that she previously got for just $50. One problem: The report was wrong, and has been debunked by other news sources. But Republicans and Fox News have been repeating it over and over to make the case that Obamacare isn't working. CBS should retract the story and hold the producers responsible for the report accountable.

We want to know who gave KIUC permission to Harass and Threaten its Membership? And we want it to Stop!

Hypocrisy is unfashionable. Revlon--one of the biggest cosmetics manufacturers in the country--is running ads promoting their support for breast cancer awareness while selling products to women that actually contain cancer-causing chemicals! Revlon uses cancer-causing chemicals like parabens and formaldehyde-releasers, plus chemicals like octinoxate, linked to thyroid disruption and reproductive development problems, in their hair care products, makeup, and facial/hand creams. Revlon's major competitors--including brands like Cover Girl, Neutrogena, and Clean & Clear--are removing toxic chemicals from their products. Instead of doing the same, Revlon is pumping money into a big breast cancer awareness campaign called "Revlon Cares." The 1 in 8 women who will develop breast cancer deserve better. Tell Revlon to be part of the solution by removing toxic chemicals from their personal care products.

Senator Ted Cruz is holding the Federal Communications Commission hostage by preventing a vote on Thomas Wheeler, the Administration’s nominee for FCC chair -- unless Wheeler promises not to improve disclosure in federal campaigns. Outrageous! Many believe the FCC has the administrative power to compel groups that buy political ads on TV and radio to release the names of their donors. Polls show that an overwhelming percentage of voters across party lines want more disclosure. They know nothing's more important to our democracy than making sure billionaires and other special interests can't hide their massive secret spending to buy elections. Conservative Justice Scalia said it best: "I do not look forward to a society which ... campaigns anonymously and even exercises the direct democracy of initiative and referendum hidden from public scrutiny and protected from public criticism… This does not resemble the Home of the Brave." Sign and share this petition to ask Senator Cruz what he's afraid to disclose and why he disagrees with Justice Scalia!

We oppose Walmart taking away from our community. We support more responsible commercial business.

People need to have time to be with their families and the holidays that we have are some of the only times that people get to be with the family they are so close with. If these corporations or businesses take one holiday like Thanksgiving away whats next Christmas, Easter maybe they will start enforcing no weekend of even by requesting. Thee Corps have to much power as it is and the PEOPLE are feed up!!!!

Here are three good reasons to support the Stop Tax Haven Abuse Act: 1. It would raise $220 billion to replace budget sequester cuts and to invest in America. 2. It would close tax loopholes that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, profits and operations offshore and prevent them from paying their fair share of taxes. 3. It would help level the playing field between big corporations and small businesses.

VICTORY UPDATE: We saw a partial victory on this campaign. The DOJ made a $2 billion portion of the settlement - the portion that is explicitly considered to be a "fine" - non-deductible for JPMorgan. This is excellent news and will save taxpayers $700 million. This is an exciting step in the right direction, though it's still far too little - we still have a long way to go to permanently end these tax breaks for corporate misdeeds. Background: JPMorgan is negotiating $13 billion in settlements with the Department of Justice for mortgage lending abuses they allegedly committed during the housing crisis. However, taxpayers could end up underwriting more than $3 billion of those settlements. That's because JPMorgan is likely to claim the settlements as tax deductions. Even though settlements like these are thought of as punishment for corporate wrongdoing, companies claim their settlement costs as tax write-offs all the time. They treat it as just another business expense. We can’t let that happen. The financial crisis caused by banks’ irresponsible practices landed us in a recession that we’re still struggling to recover from. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay any more for JPMorgan’s bad actions. Just last week, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which houses Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, made a separate $5.1 billion settlement with JPMorgan. And, sadly, the FHFA let JPMorgan take that settlement as a write-off - effectively handing JPMorgan a $1.5 billion tax deduction. We need the Department of Justice to do better. The DOJ has the power to include a provision in JPMorgan's settlement that prohibits them from taking the settlement as a tax write-off. We just need to convince the DOJ to do the right thing. They've done it before, including with one of BP's settlements for the Gulf oil spill.

There is a Poor Minority Patriarch of the family, who's wife is in the Hospital on life support incurring financial ruin. They live on a fixed income, and have limited resources. They have no Budget for Medical Care, nor Tow Bills to be able to pay to get their only means of Transportation back. Their Family Automobile that helps provide trips to the Doctor, and Hospital for Medical Care. When they finally received the help to locate, and try to claim their Family Automobile the price was beyond affordable and lost as a profit to the Tow Company. They didn't have the Resources, or the money to get their Family Automobile back that was their only means to get around. Transportation is a right. Don't let the Tow Industry take that right away.
