Want to draw up a constitutional amendment and have the Oregon Legislature ratify it. The amendment would clarify the constitution and remove the bill or rights protection from corporations.

The National Forest should change their mandate to Preservation, not extraction. Our national wealth from our forests is going to multinational corporations and the 1% and is being subsidized by the people with below market sales of our trees, minerals, wildlife, and grazing and oil and gas products.

We should nationalize our natural resources. Profits would be regulated and used to benefit the American public.

As long as Corporate Lobbying and Citizens United exists, there can never be a democracy that serves the people. We've seen it all before, a nuclear power plant is leaking tritium into the city's water supply and the power plant's neighborhoods are all coming down with cancers and dying. Or maybe BP killed the community's livelihood and their chemical dispersants have made everyone that worked on the clean up ill by taking the oil spill out of sight and mind, but leaving it polluting the gulf. Or maybe oil and gas fracking is leaving hexavalent chromium polluting a community's water and benzene polluting their air and leaving everyone sick and the land dying. There are countless examples, but the result is often the same. The laws protect the corporations. The companies deny liability and argue out of fines and fees in court. All because lobbying creates a breach of liability for the corporations. Corporations are not people. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to be so far above the people. The U.S. was not founded as a feudal system with corporations on top. We used to have things like anti-trust laws to protect us from corporate greed run amok. It's time to bring that kind of people's protection from corporate greed back.

H.R. 4067 is economic blackmail to coerce the Navajo and Hopi nations to give up all water rights, forever, to ALEC members Peabody Coal, the Salt River Project, APS, and other owners of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS), in exchange for no compensation. It also will prevent any litigation by the Navajo and Hopi nations should they incur any future financial losses or physical harm as a result of water loss and/or water contamination.

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.
