• Tell the FCC to block Rupert Murdock's acquisition of the Los Angeles Times.
    "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

  • Expose the TransPacific Partnership Agreement to the Light of Day
    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.

  • Preserve "copper" phone service
    After Sandy, hundreds thousands of people whose phone service is dependent on digital fiber-optic cables powered by electricity were cut off, and many cell phone towers were not functional, yet Verizon and AT & T are determined to stop offering and servicing the older, but more reliable "copper" service which has its own power source and is less likely to be affected by storms. Being without phone service poses a serious health and safety risk. The phone companies are public utilities whose priority should be to serve the public and not merely to enhance their already huge profits.

  • Get rid of the "Dead Peasant Policy"
    Companies everywhere are taking policies out on their employees and then cashing in (as if they need even MORE money) without so much as a donation to the funeral or family. Most companies (Winn Dixie, Walmart etc.) are doing it without consent! They must be exposed and stopped. This kind of policy should not be allowed.

  • Salaries and compensation
    I feel it unjust that CEO's, heads of various departments, politicians and board members should receive such high compensation and salaries while taking away from the "middle class". Wage cuts, reduced medical benefits, ESOP programs and retirements have been lost to corporate greed.

Citizens of Geotgia are adversely affected by this law and it should be resinded and stop the influence by big businesses.
