Walmart,Best Buy, and Target are all major retailers that pay a poverty level wage. Consequently, we the American taxpayer, are required to subsidize the workers of these highly profitable corporations with food stamps,unemployment benefits, and health care such as Medicaid. It's time to end the entitlement subsidies to these corporations by having them pay a living wage. It's time to raise the minimum wage to at least $10/hr.

The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United allowing for unlimited contributions to Super PACs has the potential to destroy the fabric of our American democracy. I am proposing that Congress format an amendment to the constitution that: 1) immediately nullifies Citizens United by 2) limiting the amount of money any individual or corporation may contribute to a political campaign 3) while requiring full public disclosure of the funds contributed, and finally 4) setting limits on the total amount spent on a political campaign for national office and 5) banning political television and radio commercials altogether. The effect of this amendment would be to limit the political campaign to issues and real debates between candidates bringing a sanity back to the political process in the United States.

Citizens should be concerned about the tactics being employed by foreclosing banks and the judicial preference shown to them at the expense of the middle class and lower income homeowners. I am in this position and there are almost no attorneys who will assist the financially challenged citizens and the state, local and federal governments offer no solutions or aid.

Canada has a law ...The "Truth in Broadcasting Law"..that would not allow FOX NETWORK to have a chanel there because of the LIES that they are KNOWN to tell...Please google or bing it to see the law for yourself.....I think this network has done nothing but lie on this President and any other person the REBUBLICIAN party deems they need to..they say "Fair and Balanced"...yet we know they are not....They have done more harm to this country in racial politics than we have seen since reconstruction..I feel it is time to do as Canada and PROTECT ourselves..from this divide by allowing ONLY TRUTHS to be told by the media....and this LAW will do that.

An international corporate coup is happening right now, in secret: The Trans Pacific Partnership is being written by multi-national corporations that will give them the power to directly sue the United States whenever they feel our domestic laws are "barriers to potential profits." The judges in the lawsuits would be appointed by the corporations themselves, and the proceedings would be kept secret! This means that when we have passed environmental laws or human rights protections in the USA, these would now be against international law as drafted in the Trans Pacific Partnership. It's all pro-corporate/anti-human, it's all designed to be kept secret, and our federal representatives cannot even get their hands on this text. Insane? Yes. Conspiracy? No. Here's a good primer on what's going down: http://truth-out.org/news/item/12934-why-so-secretive?-the-trans-pacific-partnership-as-global-coup Please LOUDLY sign this petition, and tell your friends. Or, be silent, and play along with the worst Free Trade Agreement of all time.

We are tierd of being lied to buy the news media.

As Americans we have the right and a duty to our Country..To Vote,,,

It has been 4 years since the financial crisis but more than 25% of mortgages in the U.S. are underwater. It is hard to be optimistic when your home and largest asset is worth less than its loan amount. Today's historically low interest rates would be a godsend for me and millions like me if only we could refinance. The FHA has a streamlined program that allows its nondeliquent borrowers to refinance anytime they choose. Congress should mandate to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that a program like this be offered to all its homeowners who are underwater.

Tell ATT to Allow Tethering/Hotspot with Unlimited Data Plans

It should be important to all Americans,regardless of political persuasion, that our elected officials in Congress and the White House be free and unencumbered, in order to base decisions on what is best for our country and all of it's people, rather than monied special interests. We simply cannot continue with 2 year long campaigns and a situation where a single individual can contribute tens or hundreds of millions of unaccounted for dollars to a campaign, and expect a true democracy to survive.

I would like to see a list of the amount of money major US retailers donated to each party in the just concluded Presidential election. Then I can make informed choices as to where I shop in the YEARS ahead. For example, if I know Wal Mart donated mostly to Republican causes while, say, Costco donated to Democratic causes, that would definitely guide where I spend my retail dollars in the future.

We believe that the time has come for all Americans to stand together and be heard in order to rectify the injustices and corruption created by the free reign of greed and power gluttony which have infiltrated our government.
