Dethroning CorporationsOverturn Citizens United v. The Federal Election Commission. America was founded in response to the tyranny of a despotic oppressor. Our 18th century revolution set the stage for a new, democratic way of life. But it took less than two hundred years before we lost our way and once again took up the yoke of oppression. Through a long history of self-serving legislation and judicial decisions, monied interests managed to cede overwhelming power to corporations, ultimately threatening our very republic. It is time for a second American Revolution; one in which we cast down this insidious corporate tyrant and restore government control to those whom it should and must represent: we the people. Undue corporate influence over our legislative process must and should be strictly limited, first by overturning this disastrous decision by the SCOTUS.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Gorman

Go to the wizard and get a heart, Michael'sWhen my husband died, my daughter and I made up a poster-size tribute to him, including pictures and many craft materials from Michael's. We dropped off the tribute to Michael's for framing and paid the framing cost in advance. Sixteen days after my husband died, I fell and broke my back, ribs, etc. Although I received calls from Michael's reminding me of the "tribute" I needed to pick up while at the hospitals and the nursing home, they never told me they would throw the tribute away. I opened an envelope that told me that in front of the manager of the local Michael's AFTER I'd gone in to pick it up. I wanted to PROVE to him that I'd never received this notification. They refunded me the cost of the framing (but not the materials I'd bought there, the photos, the poster, or anything else), and told me it is corporate policy to discard materials not picked up after a period of time, even if they are prepaid, and even if their paperwork says it is a "tribute" so they know loss is involved.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynda Federoff

John Metz and Denny's - Stop Intimidating Your Employees!Denny's franchise owner of over 40 restaurant's, John Metz, is implementing a 5% gratuity on all meals to pay for the cost he will incur by proving healthcare to his employees through Obamacare. He has publicly suggested that if a customer not want to pay the extra 5%, to take it out of the waiter/waitress's usual tip. He also plans to cut most employees hours to offset these costs. Our working class citizens who need jobs do not deserve to have their hours cut and tips reduced.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Mansi

Denny's Owner: Stop Proposed 5% "Obamacare Surcharge"John C. Metz, owner of several dozen Denny's restaurants, announced on 11/15 that he will add a 5% "Obamacare Surcharge" onto his customers' checks (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83943.html?hp=l5). If we don't feel like paying 5% extra, he simply proposes that we tip his employees 5% less. Additionally, Mr. Metz stated he will reduce many of his full-time restaurant employees to part-time status so he can avoid purchasing health insurance for them. Many of the previously unemployed who have found new work have done so in the service industry, at companies like Mr. Metz's. These people cannot afford a 5% reduction in their tips, and Denny's customers cannot afford a 5% surcharge on their food.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patrick Diogenia

Colorado: Say NO to Uranium mineEnergy Fuels Inc. want to mine uranium in the Paradox Valley. This is the first uranium mill to be built in the United States in more than 25 years. Uranium is a volatile element, as it reacts with almost all nonmetallic elements. It has been known to cause lung cancer. I live here, with my family. We live on the Paradox Trail, a clean, unfettered, lovely place in the high desert of Colorado. Wildlife is abundant. We need to maintain our area, as it is. We need to stop Energy Fuels Inc. from mining our land and making it unstable and unsafe.3,451 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Haven Sabaini

Insurance AbuseAdding more insult to injury, families living in the devastation of the Hurriblizzard of 2012 are now receiving notices from their homeowners insurance companies that they will be dropped from the policy. The NE has been hit hard in the past 3 years, a violent Nor'easter, Hurricane Irene, and now Sandy with the topper a blizzard. The insurance companies must be stopped from dropping people in the hour of their greatest need.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marilyn Demeter
