Late in 2012, Facebook began using "promoted posts" in both business pages and personal accounts, forcing you to pay money to actually have a majority of your friends or fans see your posts. If your business has 1,000 "likes", it now requires $25/post just to have all 1,000 of your fans see that particular post. For larger businesses, it can cost thousands of dollars for a SINGLE POST to reach the majority of your fanbase! With a personal account, to reach 80% of your friends, you must now pay $7/post. If you have 500 friends and DON'T promote a post, less than half will actually have it show up in their newsfeeds. For both business and individual/personal pages, you should NEVER have to pay any amount of money for your friends or fans to see what you post. Businesses already can pay for new fans through targeted marketing. They should NOT have to pay to reach the fans they already have! As this trend increases, the majority of your newsfeed will be taken over by corporate advertising.

Let's insist that Wall Street be accountable for their role in destroying our economy. Right now, these reckless traders continue to jeopardize our country with ongoing money scams and banks that are still too big to fail. Is there any reason they shouldn't be taxed on their trades like every other business is? No. Demand immediate taxes on the fat cats' trades and put the funds towards the deficit.

I have one and have had for about two years. My health is the worst its been in my life. Bad sleep patterns,ring in the ears,stress like i have never had prior bad skin, it goes one and on.

Governor Scott gutted the Insurance Commission. He intended to promote competition by bringing in more insurance companies. It has not worked, and the average home owner has seen his rate go up by upwards of 30% each of the past three years.

A petition to retract the Reagan administration regulations on private citizens making fuel Alcohol, for personal use. We used to be allowed to make fuel for personal vehicles, under Carter, at about a dollar a gallon. If we were permitted to do that again, the oil companies would have a serious incentive to lower the cost of gasoline.

GMO products are rapidly spreading over our entire Planet. The wealth and power of Monsanto, Dow and Dupont should NOT allow them to turn "their MODIFIED GENES" loose, without any research regarding Health and Environmental concerns.

I just read (2-9-13) Sen. Bernie Sanders article in "the Huffington Post".Yes, I've been personally affected, I'm asked to pay because some corporations aren't paying, in fact they are taking money tax dollars from the government.

Ending special interests in politics. Corporations are not people and have no place in politics. Campaign reform is very important.

Why should gun owners not be required to have liability insurance for their weapons like car owners are for their cars? Save taxpayer dollars and let insurance companies pay for the background checks and keep track of their customers guns and charge for it in the premiums. The insurance should pay for damage regardless of who fires the gun, just like with cars. It would be a start and the premiums on assault rifles and big ammo clips could make them prohibitive to own. Lax gun laws are just more corporate welfare. Use an insurance mandate for gun owners as a way to fight corporate welfare with corporate welfare. For a whole new bunch of new customers, the insurance lobby would probably be willing to contribute to enough congressmen to get it passed as they did with the ACA. Since criminals are less likely to buy the insurance we could probably seize (for lack of proof-of-insurance) a lot of gangsters' guns. Since guns can last hundreds of years, there is no force removing them from circulation which results in their accumulation. This could be a force to decrease the number of weapons on the street. Seized, unclaimed weapons should be melted down.

It's time to stop corporations from buying US elections. We need to put power back into the Federal Election commission.

Bank of America has far more foreclosures pending against Hartford homeowners than any other bank because of their own bad business practices, and because other companies hire them to evict hard working families. They also makes a practice of foreclosing on homes in inner cities while preserving suburban homes. It is not right to let a company that is so aggressive and hostile to the people of Hartford continue to provide services. Hartford City Council will vote on Wednesday, February 13th to decide whether or not to renew the contract with Bank of America to provide the city's primary banking services.
