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.

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.

The foreclosure rate in Georgia is among the highest in the Nation primarily due to Legislation signed where lenders can eliminate several legal steps and expedite the process because of a document required at closing. Citizens of Geotgia are adversely affected by this law and it should be resinded and stop the influence by big businesses.

There are 24 corporations who have organic labels that donated almost half of the 46 million used to defeat Prop.37. At least a dozen of these companies supply Whole Foods. Whole Foods should not do business these companies if they really support no GMO.

I am an 80 year old woman needing to downsize from a gorgeous home in a fine school district. I refinanced at the height of the market. I had considered this home to be my retirement money but it is now valued at half of my original investment. I need help and lowering my payments does not give me the help I or anyone who needs to sell, the help we need. TaxPayers Bailed out the Banks, now we need help.

First it raised CEO compensation by 300% and upper management salaries by up to 200%. Then it laid off 18,000 workers who refused to take another deep pay cut.[1] Now Hostess Brands Inc. has asked a federal bankruptcy judge to allow it to pay $1.8 million in bonuses to top executives - the same people whose poor decisions put the company out of business to begin with.[2] This is a slap in the face to the thousands of families who will go without a paycheck this holiday season because a handful of people mismanaged the company into oblivion. Tell Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn not to pay executives any bonuses until he puts the company's laid-off employees back to work.

Monsanto has insidiously, through either buying our government officials or some other nefarious method, usurped our power of choice over what we consume. There needs to be a moratorium on all Genetically Modified products that are consumed by animals and humans until they have been rigorously, independently tested. Countries are outlawing these products as poison. Our country needs to do the same! This effects the whole world!

We must have mandatory labeling of GMO-treated products in our food. Our only option is to avoid those top typical GMO foods altogether assuming all have been affected, so it would be in everyone's best interest to know which ones have and have not. This includes pet food also !

Congress, and then the states, should pass an Amendment to the US Constitution that sets up a separate status for Corporations as business organizations--not as Persons. Corporations cannot vote. They cannot be put in jail for breaking laws. They cannot serve in the military or in public office. Yet, they have the financial strength to overwhelm ordinary citizens when it comes to representation in government, in court and in our campaigns. We risk the erosion of our rights as individual citizens and the ultimate transformation of our government to a government not of the People, but of the Corporations. There is a significant amount of case law giving corporations a number of rights, and any amendment should be carefully written to keep what's good and eliminate the preferential treatment Corporations have over ordinary citizens that is bad. Members of Congress, please pass a Constitutional Amendment that clarifies that Corporations do not have all the rights that the People of the United States do, because they are not people and cannot fulfill all of the same responsibilities that Citizens of the United States must fulfill.

Nullification allows states to repeal federal laws. For example, a state could decide to repeal the portion of the Civil Rights Act dealing with private facilities. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has placed a number of model bills supporting this principle on its books.

The City Creek Mall claims Taubman owns the mall, but it was made with LDS money. The church is not meant to be a profitable entity, it is meant to help individuals to find Christianity, a hospital for the sick of soul, to build churches, their temples and promote charitable donations and work. Instead, Taubman has created a luxurious mall with member’s money (if not, where else did the money come from?). Even if members stop all of their donations, the church would remain wealthy for several decades. So why is the church in the business of building and renting real estate? Have the principles of the church changed? Have the prophet received a revelation to destroy the existing Salt Lake downtown economy affecting every small business in a 3 mile radius? Why has the church decided to impact businesses such as The Gateway Mall? Did you know The Gateway was created because of the 2002 Winter Olympic games and it is an icon of everything it stands for? Is the City Creek, who serves a small wealthy community, more important than an Olympic icon that brings all communities together regardless of color, sexual orientation, race, belief or religion? Did you know Salt Lake City was recommended by the Olympic committee to place another bid for the 2026 winter games? Could the City Creek affect the existing icons? If lost, would you miss any of the Olympic icons? Could that affect the Culture and traditions created back in 2002? Did you know that with exception of a few stores, the majority of the Small City Creek stores, 4000sqf and under, do not currently generate enough revenue to be profitable? Having asked all of these questions, why did the church decided to destabilize the downtown economy with such luxury when it teaches its members to live frugally and humbly? I propose a pledge to boycott the City Creek Mall permanently. The church built ZCMI, it failed, the church built the City Creek and it is affecting the jobs of thousands for no good reason. The church doesn't need the money, it collect donations from it's members. The City Creek will fail like ZCMI did, the signs are already out there. It is up to us to accelerate the process and protect our friends and family who depend on commerce City Creek has been destroying. Keep The LDS Church religious, let people be responsible for the downtown business.

I think it is disgusting that American companies would profit from such horrible conditions in factories out of the country. Shame on them!! let them feel it in their pocketbooks this Holiday season. Remember the Triangle Shirt Company 100 yrs. ago?
