We went down to upgrade our cell phones expecting to be able to upgrade our cell phones without any problems. After selecting our phones we were informed that Verizon was now charging a $30 fee per phone for upgrades. How is the average family supposed to afford an upgrade for each individual in that family and still pay the cost of the data packages and phones? There is no opting out because of the required 2 yr. contract. Where does it all stop?

If you believe corporations are not people and money is not speech please sign this petition asking Tucson Mayor and City Council to pass a resolution stating this. While the above statement is so obvious that our founding fathers did not think it necessary to put it in the original U.S. Constitution, unfortunately there have been activist judges on the U.S. Supreme Court who have made such a common sense statement necessary. As a result of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Citizen's United case it has become necessary to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution stating corporations are not people and money is not speech. This Supreme Court ruling has allowed corporations the ability to spend unlimited amounts of money in elections, thus making it possible for them to buy candidates. This undermines the basic tenants of democracy and has effectively prevented the average American from having a voice in their government. The only way to reestablish democracy in America and give the voice back to the people is by passing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution stating corporations are not people and money is not speech. The goal of this petition is to help with the building of grass roots support of this Constitutional Amendment. Currently politicians are indebted to big campaign donors (i.e. corporations) and will not pass this amendment unless forced to by the American people. A resolution passed by Tucson Mayor and City Council will be nonbinding, since they do not have the power or authority to change the U.S. Constitution, but it will help build this grass roots movement that will end up forcing Congress and the states to pass this amendment. Please sign this resolution and show the government that the people of Tucson, AZ are demanding this Amendment to the U.S.Constitution, because we are demanding they restore our democracy.

To give powers back to Congress and the States that have been arrogated by the Supreme Court may require a 28th Amendment to the Constitution. The text above will be on the ballot in November across Massachusetts, and it is offered as a model for other states and municipalities to encourage others to become active in protecting our democracy from domination by big money and big corporations.

Banks have taken control of the appraisal business to the detriment of the homeowner and the appraiser. The proud independent profession of appraisal has been undermined by the banks- they are making money off of the independent appraiser. No more meritocracy. The homeowner is totally ignorant of this fact at closing.

Our Supreme Court has over the line of partisan idealology from defending our Constitution. We have only begun to see the buying power of Super PACs and billionaire sugar-daddies. We the People can overturn the Court by a constitutional amendment to clarify the founders' intentions that corporations are not people and money is not speech.

Currently a company owing past taxes can contribute to a camapign, recieve a reduced past tax settelment and profit from enacted legislation. This double dipping uses tax payer dollars to fund campaigns and should be illegal. If I owe 1Mil$, settle at $300,000, donate $200,000 and make profit on proposed legislation. This is how tax payers unwittingly fund campaigns and should be illegal.

We, the people are offended that our elected officials, both Democats and Republicans participate in "get togethers" with ALEC and their supporting corporations to receive "directives" for legislation in Congress. Our elected representatives should be writing their own legislation. And it should be for the betterment of their voters, not their corporate benefactors.

Since getting money out of politics is extremely hard, the goal of this idea is to help to level the playing field of paid political speech by forcing any add to buy equal time for a rebuttal.

The escalating avalanche of home foreclosures is not only displacing families, but also eroding all American neighborhoods and the economy. We demand that there be a moratorium placed on all home foreclosures until there is greater analysis, reorganization, and consideration of the ensuing consequences.

To be delivered also to: Powys County Council, the Brecon Beacons National Park Planning Authority and the Welsh Assembly Government. We are convinced that a new second supermarket will detrimentally affect the economy of Hay-on-Wye’s small, and as yet intact Market Town. There are other proven and viable options to funding Hay-on-Wye’s proposed and much needed new school, and we are pursuing these with vigour as alternatives. However, there are just 1250 registered voters in Hay-on-Wye. We are a tiny, intact community with a fragile market and tourist economy - and no chain stores. Our High Street is precious and unique. We need your help to preserve it, and our way of life, now a rarity in Great Britain. Within a 4 mile radius of Hay-on-Wye, we delivered 3000 questionnaires (2 per household) to our local community and we now know that: 82% Agree that a new second supermarket will result in shops and local suppliers closing 75% Agree that a new second supermarket will result in people losing jobs 70% Agree that a new second supermarket will have a negative environmental impact on our town Please can you help us in our battle with big business over democracy? We cannot do this alone, we are just too small. DO PLEASE sign our petition…….! Many thanks

when asking for my support as a candidate for any office I will only vote for a candidate who is interested in finding common ground and working to remedy our problems and defend our constitutional rights. i will not vote for anyone who pledges to put his party or any narrow ideology before the needs of the nation and the people.
