It's all about greed. It's time the CEO's hurt when the company hurts. No more golden parachutes.

Walmart forces the government to subsidize their payroll by keeping wages so low that employees need food stamps and Medicaid just to survive. Even Walmart's website says, "We’ve worked hard to build an environment that emphasizes integrity, respect, open communication and innovation. Whether it’s a part-time job or the career of a lifetime, working at Walmart means opportunity." Walmart should live up to their word and give employees the opportunity to live free from government aid.

Pledge to boycott Walmart & Sam's Club stores until they afford their workers respect and a livable wage.

Yes my voting rights are invalidated by "bought" candidates

CEOs talk about shared sacrifice, but the only thing they want to share is your retirement money with their wealthy friends.

This morning the New York Post ran a cover photo of Queens father Ki Suk Han that was both shocking and sad. The photo showed Mr. Han standing on the subway tracks seconds before he was killed by an oncoming train. The photo ran under the horrifying headline "This Man is About to Die." Not only was this image disturbing and frightening, but it showed an extreme lack of respect for Mr. Han's family and loved ones. Should Mr. Han's children have to see this image plastered on newsstands and across the internet? While the NY Post and its editor, Col Allan, have a history of tasteless cover images, this image is so inappropriate as to require action. Please join me in letting The Post know your disgust at this type of shock journalism. Pledge to boycott next week’s issues of the NY Post, unless all proceeds of today's newspaper are donated to the family of Mr. Han. The New York Post making money off such a tragedy is appalling and inexcusable, and we need to let them know.

Seeks a Ban on Credit Checks for Job applicants and Rental applicants.

The major banks have a policy toward widows who are behind on their payments, sometimes through no fault of their own, that is worthy of Joseph Heller's Catch-22: widows can't get the mortgage in their names until the payments are up to date, but they can't get their payments up to date until their mortgage is in their name. Millions of women who are trying to catch up on payments after dealing with the deaths of their husbands are now trapped; they can't get current and the banks won't work with them to get them current. And then the banks foreclose on them. The New York Times reported on the plight of Geraldine Bates, who lost her husband last year just after her husband entered into a loan modification agreement with HSBC. Geraldine notified the bank of her husband's death and sent in the first check. The bank returned her payment because she wasn't on the mortgage and now is threatening her with foreclosure, even while she continues to try to pay. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/business/widows-pushed-into-foreclosure-by-mortgage-fine-print.html?_r=0 No one should lose their house like this. Banks need to change their policies and stop trying to kick widows out of their houses for these outrageous reasons. Please sign this petition to demand that the Presidents of US Bank, HSBC, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America end this horrible practice and work with widows trying to make payments and keep those widows in their homes. We'll deliver your signature to the offices of these banks, and we'll send a copy of these to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Gas prices had increased significantly 3 months before elections because few companies control it. Look at the stock of Tesoro which has gone from about $11.00 to about 41.00 in last one year. Difference between wholesale and retail prices was about 40 cents in NJ. The difference during the 3 months before Nov. election was about 1 dollar. The consumers were defrauded by gas and oil cartel.

"Murdoch has long eyed the LA Times (and Chicago Tribune), the paper reported. But any attempt by the media mogul to go after the two newspapers would have to get approval from regulators." - Reuters - Sat Oct 20, 2012

This TPT agreement is soon to be signed by President Obama without the public's full knowledge. This agreement contains provisions which seriously sacrifice the laws of the US in favor of multi-national corporations. This has been described as NAFTA on steroids! The public must be made aware of this horrific "throwing us under the bus". It has been negotiated in secret and will negatively impact us all.

I want to cut these subsidies. This is corporate welfare. In the season of putting cuts on the table, what could be more appropriate.
