It's outrageous that mainstream media is not reporting on the filibuster of the Veteran's Jobs Corp bill. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with our corporate owned media.

There is a constant issue with oil prices and the drilling for oil in the United States. It is my understanding approximately half of our oil is exported. The public should be aware of what is happening to our domestic oil before we open up our coasts and Alaska to more drilling. Oil companies should give a quarterly report on how many millions of barrels of our oil they are exporting.

Alice Smith, foster mother to 5 special needs children, is facing eviction by Penny Mac and Citibank. In 2009, Citibank offered her a loan modification over the phone and she made a payment. A few months later, they sent her payment back and denied the modification they initially offered her. She has been fighting Citibank ever since. Now, Penny Mac, who Citibank sold the loan to, is evicting Alice and her foster family Wednesday, Oct. 3rd. We are DONE with banks making mistakes and working families having to pay. Demand that CEO's of Penny Mac and Citibank stop the eviction and offer her an affordable loan modification.

GMO foods have slowly been intergrated into our everyday food sources, leaving the public completely unaware. Now, there is a movement to push them more directly into our stores WITHOUT labeling! GMOs are one of the leading causes, if not the main cause of most major diseases and disorders affecting children and adults worldwide. Autism, ADD/ADHD, Neurological disorders and birth defects are just a few of the disorders directly associated with GMOs. Recently, Wal-Mart has agreed to put non-labeled GMO corn in their stores to sell directly to the consumer, creating yet another long list of problems. They are refusing to make the consumer aware of exactly what it is they are purchasing and consuming. Monsanto, the producer of these GMO seeds and other toxic chemicals being used to spray our foods refuses to accept any accountability. Monsanto Director of Corporate Communications Phil Angel said, ”Monsanto should not have to vouch for the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job." (According to a report from the New York Times) GMOs are not only destroying those that plant it and those that consume it, but they are also destroying the land and animals. Many states are rallying against this non-labeling, but in order to have true success, we all must band together and stop this mass murder through food and take back our power from Monsanto and other big corporations in making decisions for us.

California's Proposition 32 claims to eliminate special interests (code for Labor and Labor Unions) from contributing to elections. However this proposition is written by and for the true special special interests and specifically exempts them from it. Those who would be exempt, to name a few, are Insurance corporations, Wall Street, real estate investment corporations, oil companies, corporate CEO's. The goal of this proposition deceitfully to get you to vote to silence your own voices and to make election funding even more unequal than it is. They are targeting California because we have traditionally gone Democratic in elections, and to test the waters. They seek to cut off the flow of information to the people and money to all campaigns but those they seek to buy. Please sign this petition to tell the legislators and governor of California if you are outraged that only corporations will be able to pay to get their message out and fund campaigns. Or constitution was written for humans, this is just one more step that the ultraconservative rightwing is planning to get your name crossed off and enter the name "Big Powerful Corporation that Sends Jobs to China" on the voter rolls.

Since the Citizen's United supreme court decision, corporations (both for-profit and not-for-profit) have the ability to spend unlimited amounts in political speech. These legal entities should lose their limited liability for these activities. Thus the owners (shareholders and/or donors) must be made public, and the owners must be informed and agree with the political speech.

To require the SEC to genuinely access company valuations for all mergers and acquisitions such that sellers and buyers must contract on actual valuations of assets. Purpose would be to remove incentives for sales of business for wildly more than what they're worth due to deeply embedded assets that can only be realized by mass lay-offs or pilfering of accumulated long term assets.

I have a mortgage rate of 6 1/4%, I am paying way more than I need too but can't refinance because of current banking rules. I want a new law to be written that states everyone in America is entitled to a 4% interest rate on there primary residence without influence by the credit score industry. This is especially important in view of the Libor scandal currently going on, where banks have been rigging interest rates, to there benefit, for years. I want interest rates to be rigged for the benefit of Americans. This law would have to include a provision that makes it illegal to deny refinancing to anyone, as a way for banks to continue robbing Americans. It is discriminatory to offer one interest rate to the rich and another to the poor, this needs to be stopped and made fair and equal. It would also jump start the economy in a way nothing else can, and lead to a fair and honest housing market in America.
