Romney's FinancesMitt Romney should give a full disclosure of his taxes and financial holdings, just as did his father, George, when he ran for president. Voters deserve an honest disclosure. Mitt's support for reduced taxes for the rich and corporate power make this a serious issue2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bruce Noll

Overturn Citizen's UnitedOur democracy has been hijacked by the powerful elite. Citizen's United has created the legality of corporations to function as though they are citizens. Overturning this legal abomination would restore some sanity to our "democracy".8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bruce Combs

Hold the executives and board of trustees legally liable for all corporate actsThe decision-making executives of corporations are not legally liable for any of the damages their decisions have caused -- whether it is polluting the air we breathe or cleaning up their oil spills. The corporations themselves may be liable, but the executives who knowingly direct their corporations to engage in illegal acts in order to make an extra profit can do so with 100% impunity. Let's change that and make both the corporate executives and the board of directors legally liable for all of their corporation's activities.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Shorin

Corporations aren't peopleOver at least the past 130 years or so, a series of US Supreme Court decisions have incrementally afforded more and more rights to corporations, to the point that they are now legally considered people in the eyes of US jurisprudence. A long term, determined series of lawsuits should be undertaken to weaken and finally terminate this flawed fundamental principle of US law. We the flesh and blood people and citizens of the United States call on all public interest lawyers, legal organizations and other interested parties to coordinate and support such a strategy.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Tansey

Stop the Monsanto RidersSo-called 'Monsanto riders,' quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require - not just allow, but require - the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. All the farmer or the biotech producer has to do is ask.209,972 of 300,000 SignaturesCreated by Robert Shepherd

Corporations Eligible for Death PenaltyIn the eyes of the law Corporation are considered people. As such they should be treated no differently than individuals when they commit crimes. Ex: W.R. Grace and Co. and seven high-ranking employees knew a Montana mine was releasing cancer-causing asbestos into the air andd to hide the danger to workers and townspeople, according to a federal indictment unsealed yesterday. More than 1,200 people became ill, and some of them died, prosecutors said. In this instance the corporation and the executives involved should be eligible for the death penalty based on the severity of the crime. French Example: French law provides for the prosecution of companies as legal entities in a similar way as an individual offender. Under article 121-2 of the Penal Code, «legal persons, with the exception of the State, are criminally liable for the offences committed on their account by their organs or representatives». As implied from article 121-2 of the Penal Code, companies may be held liable through imputation for acts caused by a natural person, so long as the natural person is acting as its organ or representative. A company may be prosecuted for most of the same offences as an individual offender. Therefore, the differences in the prosecution of an individual and a company result from practical realities, as detailed below. IN OTHER WORDS, IF CORPORATIONS WANT TO BE CONSIDERED NATURAL PERSONS THEY SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME LAWS AND PENALTIES AS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO COMMITS THOSE CRIMES3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard H
