Filed an insurance claim after my husband saved my life, by stepping over me, after a driver ran the stop sign. Fas forward 12 months later the insurance company (Geico) refused to pay the claim. When a claim is filed, the insurance company should not avoid responsibility and accountability, especially when it is a matter of life and death as was in this case.

While repairs or searches for replacement of cars involved in accidents happens, it's common for insurance to be sold that is represented as providing a rental car that is the same quality as the original one, at no charge to consumers. There is the impression that consumers may use any car rental company, but in reality, the insurance company pays a rate that is acceptable to only a couple of car rental companies with whom long standing contracts are in place to accept amounts that aren't competative with existing car rental rates. Those contracts need to be outlawed, so consistent rental rates exist, for all car rental companies. Car remtal companies coerse consumers to pay non conforming, much higher fees for damage done during the period of time the car is rented. That has resulted in monthly contracts held with tepair companies that agree to keep any needed repairs to cars, within a monthly amount. When many cars require repair in a month, "corners may be cut", and when few cars require repairs in a month, the costs to renters for a repair increases, beyond the standard in different communities. That cost, which must be bourne by consumers. The rental cpany sets the prices for cars they repair, to reflect their costs. That practice needs to be more standardized, as consumers are made to pay highly inflated costs for repairs, then. The only alternative is being banned from renting any car in the future from that company. When the former situation exists with insurance companies having preferential agreements, that renders Consumers liable for imcreased car rental costs, which negates the prise that such rentals aren't covered, as intimated and constitutes false advertising! Blackballing comsumers should be outlawed!

Angelsoft toilet paper (among many other things) is a product of Koch Industries (Georgia Pacific) If you don't like big money in politics, and our media, please stop buying Angel Soft until the Koch brothers and other big money influences don't get to use their money to bypass the American voter. Since we can't vote lobbyists out, we can vote with our pocketbooks! Tell the Koch brothers to vote at the polls like everyone else! Because big money in politics should be flushed down the toilet.

1000 citizens in Bangladesh and Pakistan have died within the past 6 years producing low-cost clothing for Europe and the US. Inexpensive clothing is important to us, yet we seem unwilling to see the human cost to produce this clothing. These low prices should not be connected to unsafe factories and loss of life. Sewing factories help developing nations emerge from poverty, and the retailers and their agents who use these factories must invest in factory safety as a cost of doing business.

SB 610 & AB1141 seeks to level the playing field - NOT to make it easier for franchisees to escape their contractual obligations to the franchisor. It will benefit all franchise systems/brands and ensure that franchisees can continue to offer excellent services to their customers, employ their workers, and give back to their communities. Franchising is one of the most powerful brand building tools ever created. It is reported that franchising is responsible for 760,000 businesses, 18 million jobs, 14 percent of the private sector employment, and over $500 billion in annual payroll. Total sales by businesses operated by franchisees are projected to reach over $2 trillion this year. 1 out of every 12 businesses is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Over the last 50 years franchisees have invested their capital and hard work in creating some of the most recognized brands in the marketplace. The success of franchising is predicated on the investment by franchisees. This is now at risk because the terms of the franchise agreements have become more one-sided in favor of the franchisors. They have significantly reduced the ability of franchisees to build their businesses and serve their customers. These bills have been written and developed by franchisees in multiple systems and industries to identify the basic terms of fairness that are missing in their franchise agreements, and must be restored to ensure the success and growth of the franchise systems. Franchisees from across the nation and state of California have joined, working together to pass these first steps of new Legislation in the State of California. Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) , Buffalo Wings National Franchisee Association (BWNFA) , Coalition of Franchisee Associations (CFA), Domino's Franchisee Association (DFA) ,Dunkin' Donuts Independent Franchise Owners (DDIFO), Econo Lodge Franchisee Association (ELFA), Edible Arrangements Independent Franchisee Association (EAIFA), Independent Hardees Franchisee Association (IHFA),Independent Organization of Little Caesars Franchisees (IOLCF), Long John Silver's Franchisee Association(LJSFA), Meineke Dealers Association (MDA), National Franchisee Association (Burger King) (NFA), North American Association of Subway Franchisees (NAASF) , Owners 8 Association (O8A), Service Station Franchisee Association (SSFA), San Francisco - Monterey Bays 7-Eleven Franchise Owners Association (SFMB7-11OA), The 7-11 Political Action Committee, The Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing (NACS), California Independent Oil Marketers (CIOMA), American Association of Franchisee & Dealers (AAFD), all have come together to support these two Bills. Please Join us on this historical day to protect your family, business, and your brands future. Please take a few minutes to complete the Petition.

I feel the phone companies have a monopoly on the type of phones non clients can buy. The really great phones are only offered with a Contract. If more people would move to prepaid, maybe cel Phone choices would be better and costs would go down.

Fracking—injecting massive amounts of water and toxic chemicals into the ground to reach previously inaccessible oil and gas—is an extreme process, with catastrophic results. Maybe you've seen the footage of people in Pennsylvania lighting their tap water on fire after it's been contaminated with chemicals used in fracking. While industry claims it is a safe process, they cannot know what will happen once they start disturbing geologic structures--including groundwater and aquifer contamination--and possibly inducing earthquakes. Fracking uses massive amounts of precious water and threatens our water, our air, our farms, and our health—and contributes to global warming.
