First Lady Obama: Help us be Healthy with Accurate Food LabelingLabeling on food products is inaccurate and too often incorrect. Some labels say product of Canada, but that doesn't mean the food source originated in Canada. Force food producers, food wholesalers and food distributors to label all ingredients as to country of origin. Stop the duplicity.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Satori Gregorakis

Stop corporations from filing patents that smother innovation.Apple has allegedly avoided paying billions of tax dollars in the U.S. by using a complex network of Irish subsidiaries. They were recently called to congress to answer these allegations. What followed was an apology and then praise for creative accounting practices. Apple has just recently filed a patent that covers processes that are ubiquitous as the mobile phone. These are the kinds of monopolies that plunged us into the Great Depression and have smothered innovation this time around. Last time the monopolies were at least paying Americans and not off shoring everything. The only unique element to this patent is the shameless favoritism afforded monopolies. Congress needs to act now. http://venturebeat.com/2013/06/06/apple-files-imoney-patent-for-virtual-currency-digital-wallet-and-free-stuff/ http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=10&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=(apple.AS.+AND+20130606.PD.)&OS=An/apple+and+pd/6/06/2013&RS=(AN/apple+AND+PD/20130606)24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sean Renet

Stop Shopping at Von's Ralph's AlbertsonsI'm pretty sure there are some civil rights attorneys along with the ACLU that will address this issue With Whole Foods. In the meantime no Corporation is perfect consider Ralph's and all those supermarket chains like Albertson's Von's market even Trader Joe's & Sprouts. While the above-mentioned sells organic products they continue to sell products that are processed for shelf life the same preservatives they put in wood finish are the same types of preservatives that Are in the foods All the MSGs And other deadly additives in the meats breads, the high fructose corn syrup Which is in almost everything they make from Tomato ketchup to bread products to cereal, Soft drinks, And on and on! What kind of company would sell artificial lemonade and then turn around and put real lemons furniture polish? Processed foods that these markets sale ARE the major contributors to childhood /teenage and adult type two and type one diabetes dementia Alzheimer's you name it! At least Whole foods specializes in selling healthy products such as organic whole foods so they have other faults. But what kind of CEO or major Investor Would oversee the immoral unethical practice, these major food markets practice? And who Does this adversely affect? Minorities especially African Americans which leads the nation everything from low test scores to heart disease to type two diabetes, Obesity, to you name it. I tell you, The ACLU, & Civl rights leaders and the NAACP needs to stand up or who ever is anointed stand up, fight to/ and do something about This Public travesty. Let's not just single whole foods out for their shortcomings Get ALSO with the CEOs that ushered us into these public epidemics Through selling the public processed goods FOUR DECADES! I do acknowledge and say Hooray! for farmers markets and other small businesses that specialize in organic products.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Larry Lamont Williams

Stop Corporate Retail Cards Designed to Track Us and Our Private LivesIt's odd - we citizens are increasingly monitored more and more closely in our daily lives while monitoring the health of our precious natural resources and the creeping environmental harm to them is being scaled back and decreased by our legislative and regulatory bodies under the pressure and influence of big corporate interests and powerful elitists. Several chain retailers now charge many of us higher prices for their merchandise simply because we will not succumb to their card system to take our personal information and monitor us for the rest of our days on the earth. This is not true feedom - and it's a sad legacy if without saying a word, we accept it as our future.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by cal ledbetter

Don't let Koch money influence public television programming!Last month, the New Yorker reported that public television backed out of airing the documentary Citizen Koch -- just because they were afraid of upsetting billionaire donor David Koch. David Koch has donated $23 million as a board member of two flagship PBS stations, WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Public television was founded to support the public interest, not to cater to the private interests of wealthy donors like the Koch brothers. Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmakers, Citizen Koch exposes the outsize role of money in American politics, from the Kochs and other major political spenders. This is exactly the kind of dialogue that public television was founded to foster, regardless of whether or not a powerful donor is happy about it. Add your name -- public television should end the self-censorship and air Citizen Koch!109,523 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Joe Dinkin

Paul Simon: Support Campaign Finance ReformGovernor Cuomo introduced a campaign-finance reform bill this week that would make big-money fundraiser a thing of the past – and make New York a leader in publicly-funded elections. Ironically, the governor is planning to host a $50,000-per-person fundraiser featuring Paul Simon. With Albany’s legislative session ending in 1 week, the next few days will determine whether Cuomo is really a reformer or just offering this bill as a fig leaf. Paul is a good guy, though, and he has the leverage to get Gov. Cuomo to actually pass campaign finance reform. Sign the petition asking Paul Simon to only play Gov. Cuomo's fundraiser if he passes campaign finance reform.975 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Progressive Change Campaign Committee

GE must pay taxesThis is a gripe of mine. General Electric spends millions to release infomercials about how great they are but does not pay a fair share of taxes to the United States. I want the company to take that money & pay it into the US treasury.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Scarlata

New Jersey deserves to know if our food has been genetically modified. Please sign if you support...My family and I are personally affected by big chemical companies like Monsanto that are now controlling what we eat. GMO food companies are poisoning our bodies, killing our bees, bullying our small farmers to shut down their farms by monopolizing the food business, and making farmers around the world rely only on them for our food. Let's start with New Jersey and push back by demanding that our food be labeled. Let us choose what we want to put in our bodies.607 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Meera Jaffrey
