  • NO MORE REQUIRED ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS
    Insurance and other companies are now requiring people to allow them to automatically withdraw money from checking accounts. Some companies even require additonal charges if you do not allow them to automatically withdraw. We have lost control of our bank accounts. This could result in overdraft and lack of funds charges. We need laws against this!

  • Social Security and Medicare Was Never Yours to Touch
    This about theft in Congress that I can not find the beginning or the end of. It's about fraud and embezzlement against American citizens.

  • Propose new federal law
    To create a Federal law that states no one can have a total compensation package greater than 10 times that of any other employee in a company. Therefore if your lowest paid employee makes $15,000 a year and no benefits, then the highest paid CEO cannot make more than $150,000 a year including bonuses, health insurance, stock shares, etc.

  • Stop the Debt Dumpers
    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.

  • Vanity Fair: Publish Diverse Faces!
    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.

  • Fair Treatment for Employees Injured on the Job
    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.

  • Truth in the News
    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.
