Don't allow gruesome violence on broadcast televisionThe gun industry often takes the blame for violent acts committed in America. In reality the the violent tendencies stem from inappropriate content driving an individual's moral decay. Let's start a petition to address the real root of the violence in our country and place the responsibility for these violent crimes where it stems from rather than on individuals who support the second amendment. Tell the government to do something about the gruesomely violent television shows and inappropriate content that is being broadcast on television, internet, and on the radio!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amyn Hirji

STOP the Federal Communications Commission’s Proposed Rule Changes!The proposed new rules would let one corporation in the top 20 media markets own a major newspaper, two television stations, and up to eight radio stations, and provide Internet service.What is particularly disturbing about FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s stealth attempt to change the rules is that the American people already have spoken out on this issue. In 2007 thousands turned out to public meetings and an astonishing 3 million Americans weighed in with comments. The message was clear: 99 percent of the public comments opposed the media consolidation proposal. The 2007 proposal was also rejected by a bipartisan majority in the US Senate.

Bank Overdraft Fee FairnessThis petition requests that our government regulate the amount of overdraft fees, which primarily hurt lower income people. Currently, banks charge on average $30.00 per overdraft, even if the amount over is less than $30.00. They also charge multiple fees instead of freezing transactions. This petition is asking for fairness in setting a limit to these fees.49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katherina Brewer

Ask Stephanie Miller to Boycott Soda StreamStephanie Miller a self proclaimed "sexy liberal" radio host accepts advertising dollars from Soda Stream to support her show. SodaStream markets itself as an environmentally friendly product to “Turn Water Into Fresh Sparkling Water And Soda”… but there is nothing sexy about the destruction of Palestinian life, land and water resources! SodaStream is an Israeli corporation that produces all of its carbonation devices in an illegal settlement in the West Bank. All Israeli settlements exist in direct contravention to international law! This settlement company obscures its true illegal origin by marking its products “Made in Israel”, however “made in an illegal Israeli settlement” is more like it.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barry Marchessault
