"Citizen Koch" was pulled from a national public television broadcast because of fear of upsetting David Koch, who has been a major donor to public television. But public television stations should answer to viewers like me, not to billionaires like the Koch brothers -- and I want to see this important documentary. Will you join the call for a national broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens?

I am starting this petition because our cable companies are charging way too much money for us to be able to watch our television programs, have access to the internet and have phone service. Many of us are on a fixed income and cannot afford the rates these companies are charging....and the rates only keep going up. This needs to change and return to the way it was before the FCC ruled that we would have to have a cable box in order to have access to television channels that previously were free through a VCR.

Is there a crime the Koch brothers have NOT committed? They have committed massive ecocide and have even killed people with pollution. They have bribed our politicians and corrupted politics so completely that we now live in a corrupt and fascist corporatocracy instead of a democracy.

Our government is now controlled by corporations and their lobbyists who are more concerned with profits than people. This is negatively impacting our schools, our health and our ability to provide for our families. We need a constitutional amendment to limit the influence of money in politics so that our government works for We, the People, not the corporations.

We're mad as hell. And we're not going to take it anymore. Today, right at this very moment, thousands of workers in cities across the country – from Los Angeles, to Peoria, Hartford, Tampa and many more – are on a National Strike against low pay. It's incredible that they joined us. And it's working. By now, everyone knows that fast food employees like me can't make ends meet on $7.25 an hour or barely more. They know how incredibly profitable, and out of touch, the corporations we work for are. They know – you know – that something has to change. Starting now. Help us send the fast food chains we work for a message that they can't ignore. Add your name to our open letter to the top eight fast food chains, right now.

We have Lost our House due to propane explosion. This bank would not let us rebuild even though we have never been late. and even tried to get more money from us saying we had a negative amortization loan.

I am starting this petition because currently I am a Time Warner Customer, and in the past five years, Time Warner disputes with CBS/Showtime (2013), the MSG sports network (2012), and Fox Television (2009) has threatened to remove TV shows, with service being actually cut twice since 2012. I am tired of cable monopolies, or near monopolies, in New York and other cities, and I want customers like myself to be able to easily change service providers when cable TV companies use us as pawns in disputes with television networks.

Divesting from fossil fuels means a cleaner, safer, and more resilient future. As Vanguard customers we don't want to profit from the damage of the planet. Investments in fossil fuel energy and production are becoming increasingly risky as written in Forbes . Other financial institutions provide fossil free portfolio options and we want it too!

Citizens are only free if they are empowered by information. If resources like public television refuse to broadcast important documentaries such as "Citizen Koch," they are not only de jure servants of private interests, but deliberately circumscribing the liberty of their public. Please do not deprive us of the knowledge we not only deserve, but rely on to make critical decisions!

I am a Vietnam Veteran and am appaled that GE partnered with the German company Krupp who built the gas chambers and was instrumental in bringing Hitler into power. GE and Krupp monopolized the tungsten carbide (carboloy) market and crippled our factories producing essential war materials severely hurting the war effort, all for PROFIT. The Nazi's had all the tungsten carbide they could use and so did GE but our factories went without. Google GE nazi and learn more.

David Koch is on the PBS board for one reason, to influence programming and prevent PBS from continuing to be the last bastion of Truth in Broadcasting. We, the public, would appreciate the opportunity to see "Citizen Koch" on PBS. The people need to know the truth. Please join the call for a national broadcast of this documentary.
