• Stop Tim Horton's from buying from non-human farmers
    My and many others goal is: to not put Canada's Tim Horton's out of business, but to stop them from buying from non-human farmers that aren't nice to the animals.

  • Prosecute Wall Street
    Wall Street Banks have been found guilty of fraud and unethical practices repeatedly over the past decade. Each time they get a slap on the wrist and promise to never do it again. In 2008, they were exposed once again for fraudulent practices that lead to the collapse of our financial system. They were fined, then given tax payer money to pay those fines. So they defrauded you and paid the fine with your money. It's time to prosecute Wall Street Banking Executives!

  • Stop Banks Gouging the Poor and Elderly with Outrageous Overdraft Fees
    The Federal Reserve under former Chairman Greensberg said overdraft fees are not interest. This is untrue. When did banks get to set fines? Stop this scam and set reasonable interest charges on the overdrafts. Tell the CFPB to get on this NOW!

  • Hey Walmart... Bring back the "Made In USA" Campaign
    In the early stages of the company, a rising entrepreneur, Sam Walton, began a company which proudly touted products with the “Made In the USA” logo. As a child I can remember some pride in knowing I was helping the U.S. economy while shopping for lower prices. Lower prices were just a happy by-product. Fast forward 25 years later, and “Made in the USA” is nowhere to be seen and is definitely not a selling point. Keep in mind that we as Americans have always been an inventive people, but we won WWI and WWII because as a nation we were able to draw upon a manufacturing sector second to none. What if we needed to enter WWI with the state of our current manufacturing sector? Imagine. Today, our manufacturing sector is suffering due to the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and from a lack of proper tariffs to protect our workers. The bottom line outweighs the moral necessity to help others. As an Arkansan, nothing would make me happier than to see our greatest success story step up and reengage the workers of this country. Stop allowing the expenditures by the 99% of the USA, the ones who need to save the most, also be the leading contributor to bleeding our manufacturing sector simply because they need the low prices the most. Let's make America a manufacturing power-house again. Only one company has the power on its own to actually sbring about change, as it did during its inception when Sam was at the helm.

  • TAX THE PACS
    A 50% TAX on ALL Political PAC spending for campaigns and candidates! It's time to make the buying of our elected representatives pay for the other real needed expenses to run our country. Education, infrastructure, social programs should be our national priority.

  • Overturn Citizens United through a Constitutional Amendment
    All (real) citizens of the USA are disempowered by the new, overwhelming cash advantage of large corporate and wealthy donors to political campaigns. That advantage allows fear and misinformation to be used to subvert the true will of the people!

  • The "derecho" outrage
    UPDATED LANGUAGE: SignOn to Show Your Support for Holding Pepco Accountable. If the PSC members don’t do the job, Governor O’Malley should replace them with tough regulators who will. --- It has been about eight years now since the crisis at Pepco came to light, and as far as residents are concerned, nothing has changed. In fact, the problem has just gotten worse. The 2012 "derecho" storm is the worst yet, but the problem has been growing for years. In 2011, hundreds of thousands of Pepco customers were stranded without power after an ice storm. There were severe outages during storms in 2010, and 2008, and after Hurricane Isabel in 2003. In Maryland, utility companies are granted a monopoly in exchange for submitting to direct supervision by one agency, the “PSC” (Public Service Commission). The state regulators at the PSC are failing. The chairman of the PSC, Douglas Nazarian, has admitted that they were slow to recognize problems at Pepco. But he is still in charge of the PSC and so are the rest of the slow responders. Why? The PSC is an independent agency, but the Governor appoints its members and has the power to replace them. After years of failure, enough is enough. Its time to hold Pepco accountable.

  • Sue LIBOR rate fixers on behalf of Washington State
    My mother is a widow of a 30 year veteran of the King County Police force who died of MSA several years ago. She receives his pension and it and the health care he received as part of his compensation are the only reason that our family didn't go bankrupt during his final years. Funding cuts to law enforcement in our state are threatening to force Democratic candidates to cut pension programs in order to shore up budget shortfalls and would cut off my mother's pension right as she is going to retire.

  • Cape Henlopen State Park Beaches Open or Closed
    Okay so here is the Deal! The Stats are written above and are available on CHSP website. It's time that the Residents of Coastal Sussex County get involved in assuring that there is always access to the Beaches, trails, fishing piers and all other amenities at Cape Henlopen State Park. Its time we start talking with our Representatives, Senators, Governor and The Vice President (His Name is immortalized within the Park. What are we asking them? WHO IN THE WORLD SAID "CLOSE THE PARK"? We are asking them "why in the world" would this massive park with miles of trails, miles of Ocean & Bay Front Beaches and Acres of Open Space, EVER BE CLOSED. Then we are asking them what they intend to do to provide the Funding to ensure that this is the last year that this happens. This park should never be closed, if they need more staff, then let's figure a way to get them there, if they need more parking, then lets find a way to create temporary overflow parking. Let's face it folks if you are going to "The Beach" is another 1/4 mile of walking going to stop you. OPEN THE PARK AT SUNRISE -SHUT IT DOWN AT SUNSET!

  • All Politics Are Local - at least in Brooklyn, NY
    My Brooklyn Neighborhood, Windsor Terrace, is fighting against the mega-giant Walgreen's proposed move into the Key Food site. My neighbors have nowhere locally to shop for grocery items if Walgreen's comes here! We want to preserve the local pharmacies and jobs of the fired workers, and we need your help.
