• Move to Amend
    The US Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution with the Bill of Rights declared that within the boundaries of the United States the people shall be sovereign. There was and is to be no power higher than that of the People. For the past century and a half, the US Supreme Court has, with a series of decisions, replaced the sovereign people with the sovereign corporation. That which was the creation of the people through the authority of the State has now become more powerful and more sovereign than the people. Our creation now stands over us and we must pay homage to it. The People must regain their rightful place. It can only do this by amending the US Constitution to remove the rights of persons from corporations, to make clear that corporations are the servants of the People and not the People's masters. Therefore, we support the effort of Move to Amend to amend the US Constitution to make the People sovereign.

  • Hold the big banks accountable and remove Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary
    I want the big banks held accountable for their fraud and replace Timothy Geithner as our Treasury Secretary who says that the big banks did not do anything illegal. Virtually the big banks' fraud was a terrorist type action that has destroyed pension plans, created millions of foreclosures and destroyed the hope and dreams of now millions of middle and working class Americans who do the "real work" of our country. I do not want a "Protector of the Hedge Funand Class" calling the shots as our Treasury Secretary at the expense of the 99 percent. Thank you for the opportunity to suggest. Phyllis Booth, age 51, married mother of two sons

    Nevada is home to thousands of seniors who want/ need medical alert systems in their homes. A land line phone is needed for these systems.

Let's break this stranglehold and get the service we need.

  • Florida Elected Officials: Get out of ALEC
    ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, is comprised of state legislators and corporations, who pay to join. They then write model legislation that benefits the corporate backers' bottom lines and attempt to pass this legislation in state houses across the country. Much of it gets passed verbatim. Some of the model legislation ALEC has created or promoted includes the following: the Voter ID Act, the Defense of Marriage Act, and the Parent Trigger Bill. There have been 62 anti-environmental pieces of legislation that ALEC has pushed. The list goes on, for more information, you can visit alecexposed.org. The future of democracy is at stake when there is a shadowy back-room arrangement where corporations pay good money to get friendly legislators to introduce pre-packaged bills in state houses across the country. Tell your elected officials to serve their constituents, not the corporate backers of ALEC.

  • Tax the Roman Catholic and evangelical churches
    Todays Council of Bishops USA and evangelical extremists are pushing political agendas, not faith, in an effort to subvert the USA Constitution and destroy what Thomas Jefferson called a "wall of separation between church and state" (at the request of the Danbury CT Baptist church).

  • Reduce Limitation of Liability for Corporations and LLCs
    The provision of a limitation of liability in most State Constitutions allows investors in corporations and LLCs to limit their liability for bad actions on their part to the amount of their investment. This Petition would reduce that limitation to 50% and the other 50% of the liability of a corporation or LLC would come out of the investor's personal funds. In order to fix our economic system, these investors need to have "skin in the game." Obviously, the present system is broken and provides too much irresponsibility.
