Stop Special interest groups from influencing our government with large amounts of money on issues that only affect them. Most of the lobbyists are influencing our elected officials and convincing them to appoint special interest groups by underhanded bribery. They promise to provide financial support and money even if their requests are not for the good of all.

Congress should be held to a higher standard of ethical conduct not allowed to operate on a lower standard ethical conduct.

The Koch brothers are the right-wing duo infamous for funding the Tea Party. Now they want to buy their own media empire to spread their extreme views -- including the Hartford Courant, and its parent, the Tribune Company. The Kochs have spent their fortune funding anti-worker candidates like Scott Walker and right-wing lobbying groups like ALEC. They even warned tens of thousands of their employees that there would be "consequences" if they didn't vote for Republicans. Not exactly the kind of guys I want running the most respected newspaper in Connecticut. Isn't one Rupert Murdoch enough? The Hartford Courant is a valuable source of honest journalism. We can't let it turn into a right-wing mouthpiece. Please sign our petition against a Koch brothers buyout of the Courant.

The oil and gas billionaire Koch brothers are trying to purchase the Daily Press! It’s part of a larger bid to buy the Tribune Company’s media assets, which includes TV stations and major newspapers across the country in addition to the Daily Press. The Koch brothers—David and Charles—are fossil fuel barons who have devoted their fortunes to bankrolling climate change denial, union busting, and the Tea Party. Now, they want to expand their radical right-wing propaganda to communities across the country by “Fox-news-ifying” local papers. Daily Press readers and other Tribune company customers are key stakeholders in the decision. By showing Tribune Company executives that the public counts on them for accurate and informative journalism, we can help persuade them not to sell to climate change deniers. We can’t allow respected journalistic institutions to become mouthpieces for the Kochs’ corrupt agenda.

“Yes, they’re evil. Let’s kill them all.” Fox News commentator Erik Rush tweeted these words after the tragic Boston Marathon bombings. Rush blamed Muslims for the bombing and he tweeted to his nearly 40,000 followers that we should “kill” all the Muslims. The world should not tolerate such hatred and blatant bigotry. Rush has a global platform that most do not—he has a spot on Fox News as a commentator. His hate-inducing words are completely unacceptable. Now we must demand that Fox News drop Erik Rush from their program, or else they will be endorsing his hateful ideology. If Fox News keeps Erik Rush, they send the message that his statements and hateful ideology are acceptable. If we turn a deaf ear to hateful public statements, humanity will be infected with violent detestation of their fellow global citizens. Let’s stop that here.

Having access to a reliable and affordable broadband Internet service is an imperative if we want America to stay competitive. However, broadband internet services are dominated and controlled by four big Telecom companies, making it hard for people to obtain high-speed/broadband internet services at reasonable prices. Keeping America at the top of its game should be our top priority, therefore the "Big Four" telecom companies should be forced to create a real open market where competition, and not a perfect duopoly, dictates the price and speed of our internet.
