• CO. Congress - Push Amendment vs Corp Personhood
    In Nov.2012, the voters of Colorado voted 3 to 1 in favor of Amendment 65, essentially requesting the Colorado Legislature to go on record as opposing the January 2010 Supreme Court ruling Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which basically legalized bribery of elected and administrative officials of the government. But the CO. Congress has so far ignored the people's will. Perhaps they feel that no on is watching. Sign this petition to tell our legislators do their job and pass (in CO.) a draft US constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

  • Prison Profit is Immoral and Should Be Illegal
    Anyone, public or private, profiting from people's imprisonment in any way (from prison work, etc.) is completely immoral and should be illegal. That anyone can profit from people being in prison (through companies like Prison Blues, and many others) encourages people who can profit to put people in prison and keep them there for as long as possible. Prison profit is a multi-billion dollar business, and is booming in California.

  • Tell Rep. Miller: Hold Hearings on Citizens United
    In the first presidential election cycle since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, an estimated $6 billion was spent, with more than $1 billion coming from non-party outside groups. By some accounts, approximately 31 percent of outside spending was funded by "secret" undisclosed donors. For our democracy to flourish, we must find new, meaningful ways for average citizens to have a stronger voice in the process, and citizens have a right and a need to know who is spending money to influence the outcome of our elections.

  • Corporate Profits at Taxpayer Expense
    I recently read that while Walmart reaps the largest profits on the planet, 80% of its employees receive food stamps. This is wrong! The taxpayer is, in essence, subsidizing these outrageous corporate profits and CEO salaries through public assistance programs such as food stamps and health care. This could be stopped.

  • We Demand Amgen Give Back Its Congressional Giveaway
    Pharmaceutical giant Amgen leveraged 74 Washington, D.C. lobbyists and more to extract a $500 million giveaway from Medicare in the so-called "fiscal cliff" deal. This is lavish and corrupt corporate welfare at its most insidious. We may not have our own lobbyists, but Amgen owes it to us -- their customers -- to use their own expensive lobbyists to give back the very giveaway they just wheedled out of Congress. Build public pressure to stop this needless giveaway by telling Amgen Chairman and CEO Robert Bradway to give back the taxpayer dollars his company extracted from Medicare in the recent fiscal deal.

  • Good Enough For You
    Congress habitually exempts themselves from laws they pass to restrict or control the behavior of their constituents. I propose a Constitutional Amendment to require that all laws passed by Congress apply to all members of Congress, their aides, and employees, just as they do to American citizens.

  • Foreclosure Fraud
    Yes, I have been affected, but this issue is also about the millions across this country who have been affected by the fraud. It is despicable especially since the banks received our Tax dollars as a bailout for assisting homeowner's across.

  • Comprehensive Campaign Finance Reform
    The difficulties of campaign finance, at all levels of government, allow special interests to control and corrupt our government, even writing the laws that favor the power and wealth of the special interests. We need a revolution, like the recent Arab Spring, to correct this defect in our democracy. The legislators, who benefit from this corruption, need replacement if they do not change it on their own.
