This petition addresses the need to fight corporate influence over both our elected and appointed officials, as well as over the decisions of the Supreme Court.

Corporations claim they deserve tax breaks because they create jobs. Make them sign a contract to do so and if they don't deliver, make them return the money.

We are asking members and supporters of the GAA. to petition that: “The GAA through PACT immediately cease and take no further legal actions against members of the Community & Handball Centre in St. Josephs Avenue, Dublin 3, and that the GAA / C.L.G. and PACT not interfere in any way with the running of the Centre”. The GAA is an amateur association of members, families, and communities with a stated objective to nurture communities and respect individuals. On 15th March 2012 RTE Prime Time (See YouTube - Croke Park Dispute) revealed that: 1. Pairc An Chrocaigh Teo (‘PACT’) the GAA’s company, in the weeks before Christmas, sued through the committee all members/families (over 400) of the Community & Handball Centre (the ‘Centre’) that the community and handballers built and maintained for 40 years. Many being sued are GAA members. A Croke Park executive acknowledged to RTE a reason Croke Park want to knock the Community Centre is so that they could turn lorries. 2. The Community & Handball Centre is a hugely important facility to the local community. 3. A Dublin City Council committee has condemned the GAA’s company PACT for suing the community. {Our Note: See YouTube - This may be the first time the GAA has been condemned by any local authority committee in the Republic and raises serious questions about GAA policy}. To sue people that have given a lifetime as GAA volunteers is a disgrace – to sue them just before Christmas signals something has gone seriously wrong with our association; who, if anyone, advised Croke Park GAA to do that. The GAA is not allowed to sue its members (GAA Rule 1.9) nor should the GAA use its company, PACT, to sue members. Croke Park GAA has enough property and wealth. Anyone that is part of a community group knows how destructive to people’s lives it becomes when a vested interest seeks to sue and destroy it. All the community request is that PACT enter a legal binding agreement to provide full replacement facilities if they want to knock our Centre. Despite promises Croke Park has not done this. GAA/PACT uses professional advisors. Reddy Charlton Solicitors, 12 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2, is acting for PACT in the legal case against the Community & Handball Centre members.

President Obama, I have seen legislation that stopped the over growth of corporations like Standard oil ( Chevron) ; can this be re- established today?

Say NO to any casino in the Yampa Valley of Northwest Colorado

overturning the Supreme Court ruling of Jan 2010 (Citizens United versus FEC) that legalized bribery of government officials and, overnight, changed this country from a democracy to an oligarchy of big-money interest, corporate and private

Since we already have two other Walmarts nearby, another big box store is not needed in Pawleys Island, SC. A 2005 Lowe's effort to locate in Pawleys Island was rejected. As we've stated previously, big box stores are incompatible with many aspects of our small community. We treasure our small businesses, many of which would be adversely affected. Traffic could increase dramatically, and big box stores offer little or nothing that is not already available to us. Please also log on to the Georgetown Times home page at www.gtowntimes.com and complete the one-question survey (on the right side of the home page) concerning a Walmart in Pawleys Island (answer only once - duplicates will be excluded).

The housing crisis started because investors were losing money from foreclosures not having enough equity to pay off the outstanding mortgages, capitalism. The capitalistic response was to modify homeowners with negative equity, but since there were and still are over 11 million homeowners with negative equity Wall Street with the governments blessing are limiting the volume of modifications being issued based on socialistic stipulations prolonging the housing crisis and violating the laws and principle of capitalism and business destroying Main Street's economy. The governments job is to protect Main Street from failing not the Banks, 99% vs.1%.

On July 28, 2012 The New York Times published an investigative article on noise, revealing that high decibel levels in restaurants and clothing stores, to name a few, make patrons consume more and consume faster. Noise has been linked to increased hypertension and heart disease. As a teacher of voice and ear training, I am seeing the day to day damage inflicted by corporate greed on youg eardrums and vocal folds. We are calling on corporate America to stop putting employees and patrons at risk in the name of greed. We are calling on them to reduce the decibel level intheir establishments.But repeated exposure to loud noise often damages hearing and has been linked to higher levels of stress, hypertension and heart disease.
