• Gun Liability Fund
    Watching the damage inflicted on people by guns and ammunition in Aurora, CO and hearing of the economic consequences to the injured individuals, I wondered what approach would result in those who profit from guns and ammunition being held economically responsible for the results of their trade.

  • Employees against billion dollar companies (Ford Motors)
    Ford Motors have employed one thousand and more new workers, but with lower wages, and limited health care. The new workers are on the most difficult jobs and get paid not half but a their less than the older seniority workers. To this date seniority workers have made $60,000 and this just the middle of the year 2012, lower seniority workers and new hires are just now getting to $19,000 they have made half of 2012; this is not fair and this should change. The UAW is aware of this but the don't do anything about it, but sell these workers hopes and dreams of this changing. The other issue is the fact that the Chicago, Illinois is operating like we live in a third world country. Employees have to work in inhuman conditions; such as the plant being120° to 140° and the people have to work 10.7 hours in this heat, plus the workers are not allowed to seat when the line stop, workers have to work with big roaches and rats. Employees who are injured are made to do jobs that hurt them more to the point that they have to have several surgeries. Ford Motors have their own doctor and nurses in the plant and the throw out their employees doctor restrictions and that's even after the injury is found to be work related. This company has let it be known to their employees that they do not care about their safety, health or their family. And a medical lawsuit means nothing to a company who has billions. They look at these lawsuits and dish out the bare minimum to a employee who is injured for the rest of their lifesaver. This has to stop, so I am asking people to read do research and you will find out all this is true about Ford Motors and other American made companies. Please help me and others stop these companies from operating on USA soil in this manner.

  • Consumer Knowledge and Power
    As consumers, we do not know much about the companies we buy from. Some outsource jobs and others care about social justice and give to the community for example. Some care about the environment, while others don't. Some pay little or no taxes while others pay a lot of taxes to the US. We need a Governmental website that gives us knowledge about big companies and their values, which will give us power and choice into how we spend our money. Through our collective dollar, everyone can help shape business ethics to be more humane - if we spend our money on ethical companies. Hence, ethical businesses would have a rise in profits and unethical companies would have a decrease in profits. Ideally, an ethical "arms race" between businesses could ensue - if the business wants to survive. Before you know it, America could be littered with ethical businesses...what a world that could be...

  • A corporation is not old enough to sign a contract.
    The Supreme Court has decided that Corporations are people, but a person cannot sign a contract or determine what is best for them until they reach the age of 18 years old. All contracts entered into by a corporation before it's 18th year should be considered illegal contracts with a minor. Furthermore, since none of these corporations have parents to provide for them they should all be considered wards of the state until they are old enough to make decisions for themselves.

  • CEO Bailout - Give it back!
    This petition is intended to force action against those Executives who received Government-funded (taxpayer money) bonuses directly after causing the biggest financial crisis in recent history. These bonuses are undeserved and should be given directly back to the people. The masses should not have to suffer for the benefit of the few, the United States of America is better than this, do not allow this injustice to continue unchecked.

  • Stop the sale of high capacity magazines for assault rifles
    When I was still in high school the country was rocked by the tragedy of Columbine high school. Now barely thirteen years later Colorado and the country have been shocked by another major mass shooting. Large sporting good retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods carry and sell high capacity magazines for assault rifles. While this petition is not to ban the sale of guns or deny people the right to purchase them. It is about taking measures to help ensure these kinds of terrible events are lessened. Do the American people really need 100 bullet magazines for assault rifles? No, no they don't. These large high capacity magazines were once illegal and should be again. Please help make this happen by signing my petition to tell large sporting retailers like Dick's to stop selling these dangerous items.

  • Mitt Romney: Reveal your secret donors
    It’s time we return to government of, by and for the people--not government of, bought, and paid for by special interests. The job of a Wall Street banker is to get a good return on their investment, and unfortunately, they’ve taken those skills to Washington--and now the presidency. Mitt Romney is attending an elite London fundraiser--$25,000 to $75,000 per plate--hosted by the CEOs at the center of the LIBOR scandal threatening our already fragile economy. Executives of at least three other banks under investigation are co-chairs of the fundraiser, according to invitations obtained by The Washington Post. At the same time, too many Americans are falling out of the middle class when they are working hard to climb the ladder into it. In fact, middle-class workers have seen their incomes drop by nearly 8 percent in three years and their wealth disappear by a staggering 40%. We believe politicians should work for us, not their corporate sponsors. It is time for Mitt Romney to fully disclose his donors--and how much they are giving to his campaign. As a Clean Elections candidate in Maine, every $5 qualifying contribution I collect to earn public financing—and all my campaign expenses—are fully disclosed. Shouldn't we expect someone running for the highest office in the land to at least disclose how much money he is getting from bank CEOs linked to LIBOR corruption? If the name of someone donating $5 should be disclosed, isn't it time someone donating $5,000 or $5,000,000 should, too?
