limiting all campaign financing and advertisements to those individual people who are constituents of that district, at all levels of government. Money has corrupted the system. It's time to remove that corruptive influence from our election process. The Local Voter Only Act may be the first step to holding our officials accountable to their constituents. It may also be the very test case used to reverse the Citizen's United ruling. We've tried everything else, time to try something different. Fight the power of money in politics, vote for the Local Voter Only Act, and take back our government!

No political ads on NPR & PBS

Bad neighbor State Farm, through it's significant financial support of and membership in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), works to kill your children, deport your children, neighbors and coworkers, deny women reproductive freedom and pay equality, denies climate change and fights to allow unlimited pollution by businesses, privatize our schools, crush workers unions, deny our civil liberties, and create a plutocratic dictatorship..

7/7/201—Introduced Glass-Steagall Restoration Act of 2011—Amends the Banking Act of 1933 (Glass-Steagall Act).

We need to have our politicians tell the truth when they campaign. The romney campaign has ads that are blatant lies of the Obama Administration set to run on TV. See Wadhington Post article of April 30, 2012 regarding automobile plants in Finland, traffic light manufacturing in China and solar plants in Mexico. These companies/plants are right here Ipin the US NOT overseas. Broadcasting companies Ned to check the facts before airing blatant lies!

"At-Will Employment" laws in most states give employers the right to layoff and/or fire people without valid and/or anti-discriminatory cause, thus circumventing U.S. constitutional laws prohibiting discrimination. Therefore, those laws should be declared federally unconstitutional, instead prescribing that employers must provide demonstrably valid reasons for all layoffs and firings. Furthermore, justice demands that since employers have means of retaliating (either through litigation or via negative references) against abrupt voluntarily departing employees while fired or laid-off ones have little or no lawful recourse in "At-Will" states, federal law should mandate employers' minimum reasonable advance notification of contemplated layoffs/firings, thus enabling employees to at least seek alternative means of income if not redress of grievances. We need to not only pressure each state to voluntarily overturn despicable "At-Will Employment" laws and replace them with laws requiring employers to validate layoffs/firings, but also petition our federal government to mandate employer accountability and declare "At-Will Employment" laws unconstitutional. (Exemptions should likely be built into such new legislation based on company size or other mitigating circumstances.) General examples of the harm of leaving existing laws in place include not only the negative effects on individuals, but also the enabling of demonstrably invalid corporate claims of financial hardship at times of massive layoffs. Specific legislation could require that valid layoffs only be permissable if average or lowest worker wages rise above a certain percentage in relation to the average executive salaries and the top salary at any so-regulated business (e.g., that the average worker salary must be not worse than 20 times lower than that of the average executive, and/or the lowest worker wage not be equivalent to less than 50 times lower than that of the average executive and not less than 100 times lower than that of the highest paid executive--or some other reasonable formula having a similar effect). Had such federal legislation been in place, our economy would likely be in much better shape because the pressure on businesses to act equitably would either cause workers to have higher earnings or help prevent the massive layoffs that have resulted in the severe loss of consumer spending which has characterized our troubled economy.

This petition is intended to urge San Diego City Council to pass a resolution telling Congress that we should not be controlled by big money.

.Corporate manipulation in politics must end. Corporations are motivated purely by profit and growth and unlike people, have a potentially infinite lifespan. Corporation influence must end. We need radical reforms in campaign contribution laws, beginning with blocking the financial clout afforded to these entities.

Since Our President Obama's inauguration Republicans' only seemed to be focused with contempt and disdain and the drive to see Obama fail, void of the need to represent the Middle class Americans, but aligned only with huge Republican lobbyists and their corporations they represent.....

Our representatives do not represent the people any longer; they represent the corporations and the rich. As long as special interests pour money into the pockets of politicians, the politicians will do their bidding. All elections should be publicly financed. Only then will the people's best interest be at the forefront.

We're calling to oppose that the name of Imperial Avenue is changed. Dismissing the name where 11 women were murdered at the hands of a serial killer would be dismissing the story of what happened there. This story needs to be remembered and not forgotten! It should be addressed so that healing can begin and a community can be restored from this tragedy.

we used to have duty on anything that came into thyis country. now that the ryan plan has a way for the rich and the corporations to move all their earnings off our shores a 10% duty on all imports would also pay for infrastructure. the american labor costs around 7% give or take a fraction of a percent. this would force the corporations to locate back in the u.s.
