Currently corporations receive many of the benefits meant for citizens but bear few of the risks and responsibilities. Given that current law treats them like people, they must be held accountable like people. Specifically, they should be jailed, closed, or terminated when they are convicted of crimes just like people..

Ever since the disastrous crash of the 20's and 30's, we enjoyed the protection the Glass Steagall Act afforded us. That Act kept "investment banks" and commercial banks separate, so that "investment bankers", or gamblers, could not gamble with our mortgages and business loans.. When the Act was rescinded in 1999 our current financial troubles began, because it allowed "investment bankers" to gamble by devising risky loans, disguising them as low-risk, and passing them on to unsuspecting banks and other investors. The new buyers have the risk of losing their money and many of them have lost from the foreclosures and other failed loans.

These bureau have set their own guidlines and they are in no way helpful to the average person. It is next to impossible to get them to change incorrect information.

Lobbyist give money, bribes, to politicians to get their vote. This is not done in the best interest of the people. This has created a government where the people are without representation. Nothing is done for the people. We need to change this. Eliminate lobbyist and their money now.

Visit the website of any organization fighting for social and environmental causes and you will see numerous issues represented. Most if not all of those issues were caused by very large corporations wielding enormous power irresponsibly. The current financial woes of state and municipal governments, unemployed and under employed workers, the foreclosure crisis, all can be traced back to the corporations behind the 2008 financial debacle. Corporate power must be reined in. An occasional skirmish may be won here and there but over all we, the people, are losing the battle, BUT with focus we can win! Imagine the power created if every progressive organization from Rainforest Action Network, to the AFL-CIO to Greenpeace to Audubon and there are hundreds more, unified behind one message, one issue on their websites and all lobbying dollars focused to one purpose: End Corporate Control of Our Banking Industry, Our Government, Our Healthcare System our Elections. Move-On is THE organization to unify progressive organizations with this one focus. Eliminating the control corporations have is akin to fixing the leaking roof which is our system, of issue after issue, leak after leak. Unless we put this first eventually the roof will collapse. Fix the roof first and there won't be so many issues, this must be our single focus.

We need to e-mail, call or write letters to anyone who is in office and get this Bill to Pass!

Employer contracts often contain requirements that all parties settle disputes through an artibtration process. The arbitration process is unfairly skewed in favor of employers and businesses who set up and pay for this employment requirement. This reform would place all employment arbitration negotiations and final determinations in the state's Fair Employment and Housing Department paid for with unbiased state funding.

The U.S. House and Senate introduced bills that allow energy corporations to hide from liability when they damage the environment or hurt citizens. These Republican sponsored bills (s2264 and hr4345) provide "liability protection for claims based on the design, manufacture, sale, offer for sale, introduction into commerce, or use of certain fuels and fuel additives, and for other purposes." Tell Congress that corporate accountability is essential to protect public health and the environment, because it encourages attention to these issues in corporate strategic and operational decision-making.

As President of the U.S., G.W. Bush took the regulatory cap off of Oil prices in this country. He realized by doing so he could make tons of money for the good ole boys pumping oil from Texas. He also knew that the next president would be a Democrat who would have to try to clean up the mess he would be leaving behind. Well, here we are all these years later still trying to get some kind of handle on the price of crude. Everyone knows there is no explanation for the prices of oil based fuel to be what they are today. It is pure uncontrollable greed that has driven this crisis. The only way any of us will live long enough to see a change to the present prices is to tell our government we MUST regain control and capp the price of oil back to something we can all live with again. example would be .99 cents a gallon for gasoline.

On April 15th. 2012 masses of people opted not to purchase gas. The very day after the next day, gas prices dropped. This effort on the part of average citizens worked!. Lets petition to have people not buy gas on the 15th. of every month from here until years end. Let's see if the gas companies will continue to choke the average citizen with these gas hikes on a daily basis.

HR 4170 is a bill to have the US Government pay for student loan debt, or to force the companies who have loaned money to students to cancel that debt and absorb the losses. The economics of this just don't make sense! Yes, student loan debt forgiveness would help those with loans, but only in the short term! Students now in school would not be helped. The US Government owes $14 trillion, and HR 4170 wants to add another trillion! Or even to cause companies, who own those loans, to pay for it. The US Government can't afford to pay for college education.

Our representative democracy is under attack from the corporations and super pac interest groups who are able to buy elections. The corporations have now achieved all of the rights of personhood, with none of the responsibilities. Groups with no transparancy of membership, transparancy of money sources or accountability to anyone, can use their economic power to subvert free and fair elections. Multi-national corporations and secret super pacs whose loyalty is not to America or the American people, or the interest of the United States, but to their bottom line and to the self interest of their (unknown) constituencies should not have the opportunity to unduly influence elections and decisions that affect all of the citizens of the US. The Supreme Court erred gravely in rendering this decision and the decision should be over-turned.
