Wisconsin Attorney General John B. Van Hollen Oppose Citizens UnitedLate last year, the Montana Supreme Court made the first crack in Citizens United by upholding a century-old state law banning direct corporate spending for or against candidates in state elections. Not long afterward, a right-wing group asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule that decision. Now, as the U.S. Supreme Court considers the case, the attorneys general from 22 states and D.C. have filed an amicus brief supporting Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock's bid to maintain limits on corporate spending in state elections. With nearly half of all states on board, this is the largest coordinated legal effort against Citizens United yet. Winning this lawsuit would immediately curtail the corrosive effect that unlimited corporate dollars are having on our democracy at the state level, and also be a major step toward overturning Citizens United nationwide.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vivian McLemore

Criminalize Excessive CEO PayRonald Reagan allowed the CEO's to set their own pay scale and allowed them to be paid in stock. This has made it so CEO's who control the board's basically control their own pay. What we have seen is excessive CEO pay in the millions. The pay that they are getting is a new form of Embezzlement but it is openly accepted. Embezzlement laws should be used to put the CEO's in jail and to stop this fraudulent abuse of power.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gordon

Curbing Pesticide Use Through Green Label ReformDespite the growing desire for "organic" foods in America we find ourselves more reliant on chemicals to produce our food than ever. Part of the problem is the extremely flawed organic labeling system in place. The organic label is inadequate at resolving the multiplicity of standards that create consumer confusion and undermine certification integrity while preserving the ability for labeling methods to target a wide range of environmental and public health issues. Our solution is to divide and sub-categorize this process into more specific narrowly defined certifications designed for consumer clarity and the realistic ability to regulate and enforce, under this model “pesticide free” would be only one of many new labels put into practice.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Christie

Do Not Use Public Funds For An Arena In SodoThe city wants us to help pay for a multi-purpose arena in Sodo district of Seattle. We've been through this before, and last time we were ignored getting stuck with the Safeco Field bill. Why should we have to pay for something that many people in the city won't even be using? We've got to tell Mayor McGinn to put the breaks on this one and withdrawal public funding of this.123 of 200 SignaturesCreated by James Thomas

Abolish Corporate PersonhoodSupport a proposed US Constitutional amendment that would abolish corporate personhood that resulted from the 2010 Supreme Court decision on "free speech" for corporations, unions, and other incorporated groups that wanted to give endless amounts of money to campaigns. It's really perverse that corporations are now protected by the Bill of Rights.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S P Gurganus

Get Big Bank to pay the 99% what is due to themJ.P.Morgan Chase owes myself, my 2 sisters, and my 8 cousins a sum of money, as of Dec. 2011. They reinterpreted my maternal grandparent's trust to read that the sum of money will be given out not 21 years now, but 21 years from now, when we will all be in our 80's, if we are not dead. The small checks we get monthly now are decreasing in value and being given less often, so they can make more interest.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judy Ashway
