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.

H&M has purchased cotton from Daewoo International, which imports cotton picked by child laborers in Uzbekistan, for its products. H&M must be more accountable and ethical in its business. Petition H&M to reform its business with organizations that immorally capitalize on child labor.

This 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.

Stephanie 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.

Presently credit card issuers have free reign for fees and policies often changing their rules (interest rates, late fees, due dates, and junk fees) at the drop of a hat. The credit card agreement should be a one year agreement with 60days notice of changes for the next contract.

My son, Brian, lost his job because he was ill. Delta fired him while he was on FLMA stating that he didn't have the time available. The way Delta works their FLMA is misapplied. They use a running 12 month period of time and if an employee becomes ill at the beginning of the year, there is no FLMA time built up to cover the time needed.

I think it's ridiculous that the NFL gets to be listed as a tax nonprofit organization like churches and other charities. I don't think many Americans would accept the fact that they pay no taxes. Everyone knows that they are business and make plenty of money.
