Make fine print on commercials bigger and shown longer.I am tired of all these con advertisements that promise you everything under the sun until you read the fine print,problem is they may show the fine print but it's so small and flashed on the screen so fast,you can't read it unless you have a dvr.There was once a time when false advertisement was against the law but now a days ,these people can lie to you as long as they flash the fine print in their advertisements.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Souza Jr

Government Employees Invest In Big Oil Through Their Retirement Savings Plans! Please ask C Fund ...I'm a government employee, and I'm angry because my Thrift Savings Plan retirement fund portfolio includes ExxonMobil and Chevron Corporation. I think it has become a moral imperative that we move away from fossil fuels and into green technologies. We can't seem to stop the flow of billions of dollars in tax subsidies to Big Oil, but as government employees, we can exercise our rights to ask our fund managers to divest from ExxonMobil and Chevron, or at least give us a green fund alternative. With fossil fuel corporations banking on exploiting 5 times the amount of carbon considered safe to burn without exceeding a 2-degree C global temperature increase (see http://math.350.org ), government employees should be concerned about the fact that they're investing in Big Oil's business plan for wrecking the planet! There are better investment alternatives with better long-term growth potential (e.g., solar).93 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Government Employee

Financial Transaction Tax - Have Wall Street Pay for its MessStock market transactions should be taxed. It can be a progressive tax like the income tax e.g. small transactions get a 1% tax while large transactions dealing in millions of dollars have a 5% tax.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maxine Blecher

Urban Outfitters: Do a Better Job with the EnvironmentUrban Outfitters leaves their front doors open in the dead of winter with huge heaters placed above the entry way to warm customers as they enter. Unfortunately, this practice warms the planet instead. They also send their merchandise home in new cloth bags instead of recycled paper or plastic. Tell Urban Outfitters to set a better example for the teens and young adults who shop in their stores.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Michels

Stop the $76 Billion tax credit.The middle class whose budgets are stressed to the max will pay more in taxes but $76 BILLION tax credit for GE, Walmart, Starbucks, GM and many others. We can't afford Social Security or Medicare, but we can afford this. Talk about stomping on the face of the American people, unbelievable.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Bogner

Consumer ProtectionProducts and warenties, to many products with a zero life and no repair parts. We are being sold crap, Corprate profits are up because of the sale of new items only, nothing is repairable. Product support is sold to other companies or nonexsistant in this Country.. Because of this we are sold junk, most advanced countries in the word have laws requiring product manufactures back there products for a period of time like 3-10 years, requiring spaire parts, manuals with eather online or phone support with waranties. I have spent my life in the repair services Electrical, Electronic and equipment. Now days if it's a year or less old it's desposable not fixable, think of the products going into our land fields with fees to dispose of most of the items.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jerry Sains

Standardize Credit Card Payment Cutoff TimesCredit issuers have arbitrarily set cutoff times on one's payment due date that can result in much ill-gotten revenue that might otherwise be stimulating the U.S. economy. For example, Citi Bank cuts off at 5:00 p.m. EST. I paid my bill on the due date but at 6:00 p.m. CST; and, as a result, I was charged a $20 late fee and $1.01 "interest". It's easy to forget that a particular card has an unusual cut off time, like that of a gas company who's cutoff time is 3:00 pm. PST.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John S Brookes

In The Words of a Great Republican~Theodore RooseveltWE must demand that Congress, despite Republican Stone-Walling in Favor of Special Interests, hold Corporations accountable, placing them under the light of closer scrutiny and increased regulation, forcing them to, at least, pay their fare share for the vast profits they have reaped and continue to reap.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patrick George-Gabriel Dougherty

Eliminate stock options as part of corporate manager compensationIssuing stock options as a major part of management compensation has led to three decades of short-term management approaches focused on the daily value of those options. This has led, in no small part, to the economic distress America is currently in. Banning stock options as compensation would help return a management style focused on long term profitability through growth as opposed to the devastating cost cutting which is the main focus today.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sanford Silver

State Legal aid to municipalitiesWalmart forced Mount Pleasant council to approve a Walmart grocery store by threatening legal action Mount Pleasant could not afford to fight. There are 5 grocery stores with in a mile. Now Milwaukee based Sentry is laying off 71 workers. Across the state, multinational corporations are using bulling tactics like this. We need to make our Representatives represent us against multinational corporations who override Municipality's decisions by threat of costly legal action.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steven Smith
