Truth in Political AdvertisingSince the Citizens United ruling by the supreme court, super-pacs and wealthy individuals have the ability to pour large sums of money into political advertising. Many ads contain lies and distortions that can wrongly influence elections. An example is the TV ad featuring a Canadian woman who came to the United States for medical treatment because she thought it would take too long in the Canadian system. She tells us she would have died if she hadn't received the prompt treatment given to her here. In fact, it was reported that instead of a life-threatening tumor, she was diagnosed with a benign, non-life threatening cyst. The purpose of this ad was to cast Obamacare in an unfavorable light by suggesting it is like the Canadian health care system. The truth is that the woman would have received timely, appropriate care in Canada, and there is no comparison between Obamacare and Canada care. Join me in calling for TV networks to do a better job of screening these political ads for the truth, and rejecting those that fail the test. Also, join me in calling out participants in these ads to back up their claims with facts, such as medical records.214 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Warren Blechert

Overturn Citizens United: Get corporate money out of politicsGet the Washington State Legislature to pass a resolution calling on the U.S. Congress to pass a constitutional amendment that reverses the 2010 Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. Corporations are not entitled to the same constitutional rights as people. Regulating political contributions and spending is not equivalent to limiting political speech.10,607 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Tong

Prosecute banks, financial institutionsThe state should sue one prosecute these institutions for fraud, using RICO and all other crimes committed which allowed the taking and devaluation of homes and property These would include the illegal use of electronic transfers of title used by the banks. These transfers should be clarified by the governor and the secretary of state, to violate the laws of contracts and real estate on the face of those laws. These are direct violations of "illegal taking"4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pat cameron

Ban companies from selling private informationRecently, there has been an explosion of companies who sell, with a mouse click, relevant data about personal address, age, date of birth, telephone number, personal income, etc. While this information is available for the most part, in public records, it is difficult to retrieve it. Selling this information should be seen as a violation of privacy and as a threat to one's safety.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria Laura Avantaggiati

Hold Government and the One Percent Criminally AccountableAccording to Transparency International, the United States has dropped from the third least corrupt under President Clinton to the 24th least corrupt today. And why have we grown so corrupt? See my 'Drawing A Line In The Sand On Political Corruption' (http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/12/10/drawing-a-line-in-the-sand-on-political-corruption-in-the-usa/). See my 'The Cult of Legal Plunder' (http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/01/02/the-cult-of-legal-plunder/) See my 'Just Who Is This Right-Wing Arch-Nemesis?' (http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/11/19/just-who-is-this-right-wing-arch-nemesis/) It is time to hold those responsible for the morass we are now in accountable! Or else, we risk a civil war later.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Terrence Robertson

AZ Society of CPAs: Be accountable to your former membersI was a member of the Arizona Society of CPAs (ASCPA) from 2010 to 2012. After my membership was cancelled in July, I asked the ASCPA how my dues were spent, and my request was flatly denied. The organization is thus secretive and insensitive when it should willingly provide this information to a former member who paid dues enabling it to operate, and who is affected by its actions including lobbying on behalf of AZ CPAs.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Krupa

Tell the FCC to Revoke Rupert Murdoch's Licenses !For years now, I have wondered Why our Government has allowed a Foreign Tabloid Tycoon to Propagandize and Misinform a huge and vulnerable portion of Our Citizenship. Now that the Hacking / Wiretapping Conspiracies have come light in the UK, there is ample proof that his is an "Evil Empire", and needs to be ended in Our Country.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Herman G Morgan III
