• Get Big Money Out of Elections
    The people of the United States are appalled and embarrassed at the amount of money spent on campaigns for public office, which fuel negative ads and disregard truth-telling. We want only to know what candidates stand for, and what they don't. We want to have access to their records of public service. Limiting the amount of money they have to spend will force them to think through the content of their ads, and spare us from being overwhelmed with vitriol.

  • Correct Governments definition of "Person" to exclude institutions such as corporations and othe...
    The People of this country, on all sides of the political arena, have been insulted and their ability to act on behalf of their country's best interests severely compromised by allowing Corporations, to be given the same rights and privileges as citizens. Corporations are the very reason that our citizens, who were forced to pay into Social Security, and who believed the government's promise to return that investment by way of disability and/or retirement support, are now being told that there will be no social security for most seniors of today and beyond. Corporations stole with the government turning a blind eye and now you have given them by defining them as people, more votes and more power to corrupt our democratic process and manipulate our people one against the other to create an chaotic climate that they then use to further rob our country of its resources and values. Even the youngest citizen knows that a corporation is an entity, a structure, a self-serving business which may involve the input of human skills to run, but which is not in any way similar to a human being nor deserving of the basic human rights that corporate america has proven to be willing to sacrifice for our country's people in favor of acquiring more wealth for a small segment of an entity operating under the laws of North American business. By granting the corporation "person" status you are essentially granting each member of the excecutives of each corpororation more than one vote in our elections which is not acceptable in a democratic and free nation. The corporations enjoy not only more power than the people but they get the priveleges of extra voting power yet do not have the restrictions that american workers who are humans have to abide by such as restrictions on bargaining power to correct unfair labor practices of any kind. Already we the people, have seen the corporate "mind" in action.....creating propaganda to incite animosity between workers with legitimate claims of mistreatment , and voters who are wary of union extremists. They create this chaos, so that they will be assisted in their attempt to ultimately turn this democracy into a facist regime where the few fat-pockets on the top of the power pole rule the country and the values this country was founded on are trashed. Learn from history, and stop this movement of corporate takeover of American values now while you have the people's attention. You are right when you say you can't change the depth of corruption in the government alone, they'll simply dispose of you like they have done so many other times to leaders who hold to true American values for all its people. So act now and start by getting rid of that definition that allows Corporations to claim the rights only human beings should be allowed to claim. If not, explain to us why you are letting them have the chance to take not only all the social secuirty away but now all future prosperity that is acquired by the sweat of our human people..

  • Stop Kentucky Utility From Increasing Rates
    Kentucky Utilities has proposed to increase its electric rates across all classes of customers in order to generate an additional $82.4 million in revenue per year. KU estimates that with their increase in fees the average bill, approx. $95.00 would rise by $7.41 to $99.71. Most of this increase would come from raising the monthly service charge from $8.50 to $13. The charge per kilowatt-hour (a kilowatt-hour is the amount of electricity used by a 100-watt light bulb in 10 hours) would be raised from 6.987 cents to 7.235 cents. KU and LG&E say the base rate increases are needed to pay for upgrades to electric transmission and distribution systems, improvements at electric generating facilities and the hiring of additional employees, particularly in its customer service operation. The companies also cited increased costs to comply with tighter federal cyber security standards. How necessary are these fees? Who would get these jobs? Let your voice be heard: Written comments will be accepted at the meeting. There is only one meeting left, but you can still write to the address below. Written comments also may be mailed to the PSC at P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, KY 40602, faxed to 502-564-9625.

    Please ask your own favorite UPS package delivery driver about this counter productive, abusive labor practice by one of the big employers in the USA. And tell UPS Mgmt you will be using FedEx and the Post Office and other package services ... until they publicly sign a written promise to its hard working employees that this abusive corp. practice will "stop immediately and never happen again". So UPS drivers will not be forced to waste time by driving away from the co. property "hub" to unload all packages, find the rush packages , reload a "rough sort" often in the rain and snow, and still be expected to meet their computer counted to the second daily delivery load times.

  • End hate speech
    Political pundits such as Glenn Beck are making up conspiracy theories and using those lies as a way to advocate violence. Mr. Beck recently recommended that all his followers buy guns. There is a connection between this kind of violent speech and the mass shooting in Tuscon Arizona by Jared Loughner. The first amendment was not designed to protect a persons' right to incite violence.

  • Shame on you, Sears!
    My husband and I have bought Sears Craftsman Tools for close to 50 years and have always been proud to be buying AMERICAN products. Slowly but surely we have begun to see more and more of "America's most trusted tool brand" no longer made in the United States but outsourced to China. This has got to stop. In the latest instance Sears stopped ordering the American designed and US manufactured Bionic Wrench and replaced it with a Chinese knock off under their Craftsman brand called the Max Axess wrench. We need to speak up! Let Sears know that if they want Craftsman to remain America's most trusted brand of tools they need to support American manufacturing!
