This petition is for the purpose of making clear to all concerned that corporations are not people and are not entitled to the rights of people as enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. We, the people, must energize our Congressional representatives and candidates, both federal and state, to put this issue to rest for all time.

In today's wireless high-tech society corporate greed for profit has overridden the concern for the health and welfare of the people. This petition is to demand the White House and Congress to require all corporations to be accountable for the new technologies that they implement. Three to four percent of the population are electrically/radio sensitive and have ill effects from high frequency devices. Doctors are finding more and more cases of cell phone related tumors. The World Health Organization has listed cell phones as a possible carcinogen and high frequency devices have been known to affect pacemakers, blood insulin devices and other medical devices.

Shortly before her death, Irene Goodman was booked into a HELOC loan at Citibank. Citibank claims Mrs. Goodman was overdrawn on her checking account approximately $4,500, yet they cannot (or will not) produce documentation to prove it. Mrs. Goodman's personal banker, who signed her for the loan, was also the Notary Public on the loan. When Irene Goodman passed, her daughter, Debra, inherited the house, and the debt, as the loan was secured to the house, creating financial hardship on her. Debra has taken many routes to resolve this matter, all without success, due in large part to the dismissive attitude of Citibank employees. Now she is dealing with the negative aftermath of a loan whose origin was questionable, at best. Please sign the petition, and let Michael O'Neill know that misdeeds by Citibank and its employees will not go unnoticed, or unpunished.

Senate Bill 1161, authored by Senator Padilla, threatens to weaken the many of the protections phone customers have under the California Public Utilities Commission. Without oversight, big telecommunications corporations can take advantage of consumers by hiking rates and decreasing quality and reliability of phone service.

From June 1, 2012 to June 7, 2012, an online election will take place and the American People will elect two Delegates from each of the 435 Congressional Districts. The online election will be run by the People, not the government, and therefore each voter must register to vote (http://www.the99declaration.org/voter_registration) even if already registered to vote in government-run elections. The Delegates who are elected will represent the People at a CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 2.0 in Philadelphia the week of July 4, 2012. Everyone who registers as a voter at http://www.the99declaration.org/voter_registration will have an "e-ballot" emailed to them when the polls open on June 1, 2012. During the week of July 4, 2012, the 878 elected delegates will meet in Philadelphia at CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 2.0 to ratify a Petition for Redress of Grievances, a legal document authorized by the Petition Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Once signed and ratified, the Petition will be read at a rally at Independence Hall the afternoon of July 4, 2012. A press conference, speakers including Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig and author Catherine Crier, and live music are planned. The Petition for Redress of Grievances will then be served upon all 535 members of the 112th Congress, the nine members of the Supreme Court and the President of the United States. These politicians will be asked to publicly take AN ANTI-CORRUPTION PLEDGE to redress the grievances contained in the petition and demand an end to money corrupting our politics. Following the 2012 general election, the Delegates will give the 113th Congress, the President and the Supreme Court a reasonable time to redress the grievances listed in the ratified petition. If the grievances are not redressed to the satisfaction of the Delegates, they will reconvene in their respective districts and begin to organize a grassroots campaign to elect independent candidates to Congress in the mid-term election of 2014. The Petition will also create a legal basis for a lawsuit against the government to compel it to redress the grievances.

Banks and there relationship with their clients.

This is a petition to reinstate provisions 16 and 20 of the Glass Steagall Act and to support Federal Reserve chairman Paul A. Volcker's Volcker Rule and Barack Obama's push for it regarding financial regulatory reform.

Cable television has become a pain in the but, since the industry has labled cable as (intertainment ). My husband and I have been fighting with Comcast for about 2 years in regardes to the channels that we don't watch and still have to pay for. We believe that it is lutercrest to charge a person for service that we don't use. We are on a fixed income, but our cable bill gets higher and higher almost every month with additional fees that we don't agree with, however comcast has taken the postion that they are such a major company that they can increase their charges anytime they fill like it. I live in Gary IN, and because we live in Gary our rates are higher than any other city rates. We asking for the support of the public to help in getting Comcast regulated for fair practices in their billing and program packages. We are seniors and Comcast does'nt provide a package for seniors on a fixed income. The telephone companies did it Why not Comcast?

The country is angry about having the people's voice so minimized. Over 80% of the voters, crossing party lines, disagree with the Supreme Court's Citizens United Decision, its corrupting influence and preferential treatment of big business and the wealthy over ordinary people. Each state MUST send a message to Congress in support of a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. New Jersey has begun this task through the introduction of SR 47 by Sen. Van Drew, now in committee, and AR 86, also in committee, introduced by Assemblyman Conaway. It is urgent to seize the national momentum NOW, to tell our NJ legislature to pass BOTH resolutions on to Congress and thereby say unequivocally that corporations are not people and money is not speech, hence a constitutional amendment is required.

If we spent a fraction of the money that people pony up to polititians to the causes they say they're going to take up, we would make a far greater difference in the our own lives than any polititian on either side of the spectrum. And if the polititians were truly interested in their constituencies instead of with power, they would take the monies they receive and invest back in the communities instead of costly, divisive and outright false and hateful ads. So this year, instead of supporting a candidate with cash, put the money towards the real solutions by investing in your local community efforts.

My name is Antonio Ennis. I'm a father of 6 fighting Bank of America to stay in my home in Dorchester, MA. I’ve been waging a long fight against Bank of America to keep my home. When Bank of America bought Countrywide, I applied for a loan modification. But instead of lowering my payments, Bank of America raised my monthly payment by $1,000. Now, my family and I may lose our home if Bank of America does not approve my principal reduction soon. That’s why, on May 9th, I’m going to Charlotte, NC -- the Wall Street of the South -- to confront the top executives of Bank of America. I’m coordinating a bus bound for Charlotte carrying 50 people affected by foreclosure -- people like me on the brink of losing their homes, along with families, children, and new activists. We want to share our stories on May 9th. But now, days before thousands of us are traveling to Charlotte to confront Bank of America top executives and board members about the big bank's destructive practices--the city of Charlotte has declared that there is no room for our stories and our voices. They have declared the Bank of America shareholder meeting on May 9 an "extraordinary event," meaning that they are restricting free speech and expanding the ability of police and security forces to target and profile the homeowners, workers, community members, students, and immigrants who are coming to Bank of America shareholder's meeting to demand justice for our communities and our planet. Will you join in me in telling City Manager Curt Walton to rescind his decision to declare Bank of America’s shareholder meeting an “Extraordinary Event” and protect the Constitutional rights of protesters? This will be an extraordinary event. It’s extraordinary because of how many people are coming together to build an economy and a democracy that works for all of us--not just for the 1%. We are the families who are homeless because of Bank of America’s illegal foreclosures; we are the mothers whose children can’t stop coughing because of pollution from dirty coal plants financed by bank of America, we are the people everywhere who are losing our communities and quality of life in the name of corporate greed and we thank you for standing with us.

We cannot continue to subsidize Oil Companies. We provide billions in direct funds and tax breaks to companis like Exxon, whose past quarter had net income of 9.45 billion, and the quarter before 9.40 billion. Daily I see their advertisements that flood the media, of how they are good, or do good to our economy and our citizens, yet nothing could be further from the truth!
