Since the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations have the right to contribute an unlimited amount of resources to political campaigns, they must make a matching donation payable to the U.S. Treasury.

They are major Tea Party supporters. The Kochs and affiliates plan to raise about $1 billion for the 2014 elections and to stop Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, they do even more to influence America's politics.

Factory Farms (CAFO"S) we all are

The United States Constitution shall be ammended to allow only persons to be considered citizens of the uUnited States Of America. Corporation are not citizens and are not entilited to free speech rights.

Veteran Denny's employees get booted out without notice. The chain closed after 25 years. All over a "lease issue". That's a nice way of saying they raised the rent.

The broadcast networks are using bandwidth provided by the public and must serve the public interest. With unlimited campaign funds, and networks willing to play for pay, the propogandists in our political system can say whatever they want. The only beneficiary of this doublespeak is the broadcast network. We are looking to the broadcast networks to show leadership and refuse political ads that ignore, fabricate or otherwise undermine verifiable facts or other public knowledge.

As Tax Payers in the United States of America we are subjected to pay income taxes on our income. Middle Class Wage Earners have always carried the majority of the tax burden of our country and we share our payments to provide a better standard of living for all of the citizens of our beloved country, as such we feel it is only fair for all political candidates, including Mitt Romney to show their income tax returns to prove their dedication to the Values of Fairness and pride of participating in support of our shared values. Make Mitt Romney show his Tax Returns !!!

My family and I live in Rockridge. We and others have systematically surveyed members of the community, and the members of other communities, who hang out with friends, walk and shop along College Avenue. 92% have answered that they oppose Safeway's plan for a three-fold expansion of its store. After hearing of our opposition at five community meetings, Safeway stopped meeting with us and set about imposing their idea about what is best for us. The Berkeley City Council opposes the expansion for the same reason we do: the threatened expansion (1) overrides zoning restriction that limit store size, vehicular congestion and pollution; (2) endangers foot and bicycle traffic on the already heavily-traveled, two lane College Avenue; (3) sabotages twenty five years of neighborhood self-determination; and (4) imperils the small independent businesses that spend their profits in the community. Safeway’s quest for unlimited profits by attracting more vehicular traffic from greater distances, and its refusal to locate in West and East Oakland to serve the needs of residents living in “food deserts,” does not equal the public good. The issue is currently before the Oakland City Council and we need your help.

Corporate news providers (papers and TV-based) are becoming irrelevant to keeping informed. Recently on Sunday newscasts, experienced news people were referring to Paul Ryan's speech (of downright lies) as over reaching. Citizens don't watch the news to listen to euphemisms. We need the media to vigorously target downright lying and other propaganda techniques.

Bring back the "for the common good" clause in corporate charters and enforce it. Require corporations to contribute some percentage of their revenue (e.g. 30%) to their local communities. Enforce substantive penalties for violating their obligation to the public good, up to and including "execution" -- nationalizing the corporation and all its assets, and jailing/executing the officers and directors. Corporations should be held accountable to the public at large, not just their direct shareholders, and profit must not be their only motive to exist.

Inspired by similar efforts at college campuses across the United States, this petition aims to censure Chick-fil-A's discriminatory practices against the LGBT community as well as to foster a more diverse and just campus life at the University of North Florida. According to Student Government President, Carlo Fassi, via The Spinnaker: UNF is looking to spend $700,000.00 to renovate the current Sbarro location for a Chick-fil-A at the University of North Florida. However, the company has spoken openly against LGBT equality and consistently funded groups that seek to curb LGBT rights. In fact, Chick-fil-A has donated over $5 million dollars to anti-gay organizations between 2003 - 2010, supporting groups such as Focus On The Family, Exodus International, and the Family Research Council.
