make it illegal for a huge corporations to buy up a company, transfer a huge debt to that company (including the loan they took out to buy it in the first place), and then sell it or IPO it, having crippled it and laid off a lot of the employees and outsourced the work. This not only is devastating for the employees but also shareholders of the company (including employees) who see the value of their shares disappear to nothing. And the CEOs of the corporations get a big bonus and a huge profit then go and do it to some more companies.

The Problem: It's almost cliche now that Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood Issue will feature white actors to the near-total exclusion of actors of color who are as busy and talented as their white colleagues. Too often, actors of color-- and the important stories they tell-- are relegated to specialized or marginalized publications. Rather than segregating actors, we paying newsstand readers and subscribers would prefer to see and read about actors who are telling compelling, powerful stories-- which are sometimes not at the top of the box office returns-- no matter what race they are. One Solution: Vanity Fair has an impressive stable of writers, photographers and editors. They are thinkers who have the ability to do more than pander to the masses, just as countless other publications do already. VF has a unique position and ability to elevate and challenge our cultural conversation. Therefore, we ask that they make an effort to do so, starting with that most powerful of impression-makers, the visual on the cover.

A customer at Publix closed her car trunk on the head of a courtesy clerk who was putting groceries in her car. When she reported the accident to her manager she was told to go back to work because she was not bleeding. A few hours later she experienced dizziness, numbness and a blinding headache. Instead of taking her to the doctor she was told to drive there herself. The Company doctor told her nothing was wrong but she woke unable to move the next day and went to emergency. Another doctor found that she had sustained a serious neck injury resulting in nerve damage. Publix disregarded his finding and refused to pay workmen's comp. Consequently she has been unable to work for the past seven months and has lost her other part time job which gave her medical benefits. She eventually found a lawyer to take her case and they pushed her into settling for a very small amount. Now she does not have a job and may need surgery due to this injury.

With so much "dis-information" in the media today we need to have laws enacted, like the "Truth in Advertising" law, adopted by the Federal Trade Commissions Act in 1968. This law insures advertisers to be truthful and non-deceptive. The “Truth in Advertising” law, is not considered an infringement of our freedom of speech because advertising is "for profit," just like news programming is. A “Truth in News” law would insure the factual, truthful and objectivity of any news programing. Any purposefully misleading statements made by a network would be prosecuted in a court of law. American’s deserve to know what information we are given is news, and what is propaganda. We need a place to rely on for factual, truthful, and objective news. By signing this petition you will be telling legislators that you want any programing that looks, acts or sounds like news to be factual, truthful and objective.

Make corporations post their opinions and sentiments and emails online! More companies are reviewing Facebook accounts and asking their employees for passwords. Social media- like Facebook and twitter allow us to express our feelings and emotions...rather than harbor them and then act out violently! I am asking you all to sign this petition to let everyone know, that we all deserve privacy and the right to voice our opinions without fear of reprisal even though we may not share the same sentiments and opinions! Make it illegal for companies to use Facebook opinions expressed by employees and stop them from asking for facebook passwords.

I want to know which businesses fund political causes I oppose so I can stop buying their products.

Over forty members of the North Carolina House of Representatives and Senate are members of American Legislative Exchange Council including Speaker of the House Tillis. This is a corporate funded group lead by the Koch brothers and Art Pope of North Carolina who are creating laws behind closed doors. They have been behind the Stand your ground law, abortion laws, marriage amendent. It is time for these politicians to work for all of North Carolina not their corporate bosses who want their agendas and laws passed.

I want to present the facts that "The trickle down effect is not working"

Many major US corporations and businesspeople don't pay their fair share in taxes due to loopholes. This is not only unfair to every other tax payer it leaves much less revenue for essential services.

Laws are supposed to protect our rights and help keep us safe - that’s just common sense. But last year, multiple politicians introduced and passed laws written of, by, and for corporations - specifically by the corporate front group the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). In recent weeks, ALEC has faced renewed scrutiny. This is partially thanks to revelations that they have worked diligently (and secretly) to pass Kill-At-Will laws like Florida’s that let Trayvon Martin’s killer go free, union-busting laws like in Wisconsin, and voter suppression efforts across the country. ALEC is not just another conservative advocacy outfit. An estimated 98 percent of their funding comes from big corporations, not grassroots members. Corporate lobbyists write ALEC “model legislation” and then send these bills off to state capitols around the country - including to Republican politicians in Lansing, several of whom were caught last year paying their ALEC dues with taxpayer funds.

J.P. Morgan Chase illegally attempts to foreclose on properties. In order to foreclose and gain equity Chase placed an escrow account on my mortgage by paying the county taxes on my property one day early, before they were due. This created an escrow account which they said my payments were short paid and placed them in escrow instead of applying them to my mortgage payment. They did this for 6 months and then refused to take my payments placing the property for sale on the court house steps. After recording an assistant to the CEO's office admiting Chase could not explain their actions, he assured me Chase would straighten the matter out. They never did apply the correct payments or credit my overpayments toward the principal instead of the late fees that they illegally assessed. That was last year in April. I just received another letter this April advising me my house was in foreclosure AGAIN and was to be sold May 1, 2012.
