  • Stop multiple media ownership in a given city
    We are now down to six (6) media organizations in this country. The FCC is considering a process that would allow a given media giant to own TV, Radio, and Print media - all in a given city. This will stifle open discussion even more. We will all be affected by biased news to an even greater extent.

  • Break up the largest Wall St. Banks
    Everyone in America should be concerned about these six banks which control close to 60 trillion U.S. dollars. Why? These banks are FDIC insured because they are now mortgage banks. No matter what laws have been written since there last collapse, the American tax payer is still on the hook. Secondly, they wield way too much power on Congress since insider trading is not illegal for our elected representatives. Thirdly, we need to now enforce the Volcker Rule and Glass Stiegall to protect Americans and hold the CEOs accountable for their hedge fund bets and derivative bundled packages. Investment banks should not be mortgage lending institutions.

  • FCC Restrictions for Media Consolidation
    Media consolidation is dangerous to our democracy. We need a knowledgeable citizenry informed on issues that affecting each of us in the most critical ways. How can we vote on issues or candidates when the media has control of the information. The FCC needs to start pulling licenses of those who do not offer real news and info on a regular basis, and also needs to insist on more limited ownership of tv, radio, internet, print, so that no market is saturated with one corp. Also, a limit on how much each corp can own, insist that they divest since it has become too monopolized. Inn the 80's , 50 owners of tv, radio, newspapers, now there are only 6. Outrageous.

  • Re-instate Glass-Steagall Act
    The most sensible financial reform would be to separate sound banking practices from gambling via derivatives trading and other activities such as High Frequency Trading ( now 70% of all stock trading). Simply re-instating the Glass-Steagall Act, which kept banks from reckless speculation and entering other business areas, would be a true return to sensible policies of the past. As legendary former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker has stated, " The only worthwhile innovation in Banking in the last 30 years was the ATM machine."

  • The Healthy Workplace Bill
    Dear Legislator: We need your help and it is URGENT! We are the employees all across this wonderful Country, and it’s time to focus your thoughts towards a destructive pattern called “Workplace Bullying.” Workplace Bullying is the problem and is a major epidemic all over our Country. I know as I communicate with thousands of them about this topic. I never knew anything about Workplace Bullying or even experienced it until I became a manager at Verizon Communications and I saw way too much. I never knew the magnitude of this issue, and how it destroys so many lives until I posted my story and received thousands in return. I never knew how bad Workplace Bullying was until it became a major part of my life, and now I just cannot walk away, knowing what I know now. I saw and heard things that were beyond inappropriate and should be illegal while working at Verizon. When I made a stand for others in protecting their rights and dignity - the abuse, retaliation, racism and complete hostile environment was redirected towards me. I endured a hostile work environment, was harassed, targeted; work sabotaged, racially discriminated against, blackballed, ignored and eventually was wrongfully terminated from Verizon. I thought I was alone, but I am not! •http://justiceatverizon.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/bullying-at-verizon/ •http://youtu.be/bid5DK97rq8 The current laws do not address Workplace Bullying/Abusive Conduct. A 2007 national survey by Zogby International and Workplace Institute found that: • 37% of workers have experienced workplace bullying. • 62% of employees who received complaints about workplace bullying either ignore the problem or made it worse. • 64% of bullying targets eventually are pushed out of their jobs. • 73% of workplace bullies are supervisors. The harm do to Workplace Bullying includes but is not limited to; stress-related diseases (cardiovascular, immunological, gastrointestinal), plus anxiety, clinical depression and PTSD. It also is related to, domestic violence, financial hardships, bankruptcies, divorces, deaths, strokes, heart attacks, workplace killings, suicides, workplace violence and ongoing abuse. There is a total mental and physical breakdown of good productive individuals and families. The same individuals that worked hard in life to become something, and workplace bullying destroyed them from the inside out. Enormous amount of medical cost associated to this like prescription drugs, therapy /counseling and etc. •http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S2852108.shtml?cat=504 For the companies, there is loss of so much including productivity, unhappy employees and lack of commitment to a company. How about the increased of absenteeism and short term disability which is directly related to emotional distress, turnover and retraining, costing the company millions to trillions over time not including useless legal obligations. Without laws, employers can legally ignore this abusive conduct and many sweep it under the rug. Many employers are subjecting their employees to continuous abusive, malicious and health harming workplaces. Myths vs. Reality about the Healthy Workplace Bill: •MYTH: The bill takes away the ability of employers to manage their workforce. •REALITY: The bill enters the picture only when the bullying behaviors have become severe and harmful. It provides legal incentives for employers to sharply minimize their liability exposure by acting preventively and responsively toward bullying, and it reserves the right of employers to conduct evaluations and provide feedback and direction to their employees. Please help to adopt the “Healthy Workplace Bill.” In 2013 your State may have (refer below to link to see your State) an “Anti-Bullying Healthy Workplace Bill” on your table. This Bill will create stability in Corporate America and improve lives. We need your help to pass this bill. If you are in a State that does not have the Bill, please lead your state in sponsoring it. •http://www.workplacebullying.org/ •http://www.workplacebullying.org/freedom-week/state-events/ •http://healthyworkplacebill.org/ •http://www.healthyworkplacebill.org/states.php Many across this Country are severely hurting and you can stop the pain, buy voting in a “Healthy Workplace Bill” in 2013. Let’s lead this World, and show them we will no longer tolerate abusive acts in our Workplaces! “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke Neal W. Dias (former Verizon Manager) [email protected] [email protected] Facebook: “Enough is Enough – Stop Workplace Bullying”

  • Sign into Law by Executive Order: EFCA as Originally Written; mandatory posting of NLRB Employee ...
    Popular support for the Employee Free Choice Act was over 70% when Congress had the chance to enact it. It is needed now more than ever to combat the abuses being suffered at the hands of CEO's and corporations. President Obama knows that Right to Work laws do not promote a healthy economy; in fact they do the exact opposite. A rising tide lifts all boats. When rights are hidden, stifled, and trampled upon it does very little to give people a helping hand out of poverty through their own hard work. To help them become aware of their Federally protected rights at the workplace, the National Labor Relations Board's poster concerning Employee Rights under Section 7 of the Act should be a required posting at all jobs ites.
