In pennsylvania and all over this country the American people are fooled into buying food items that contain GENETICALLY modified organisms. In other words, changing the genetic make-up of a food to make it more appealing to the consumer. Seriously, if you look up the "flavor saver" tomato, it was an experiment on the people with this alien tomato that got terrible reviews. That doesn't stop companies like Monsanto from genetically engineering a HUGE percent(over 75%) of corn, soy beans and cotton in the US. Don't we do deserve to know that this is in the food we feed to our families? Shouldn't it be our decision if we want our cereal to have GMO corn flakes or fresh organic corn flakes? Shouldn't there be tests on the safety of these products before releasing them onto the public in the 1990's? We have the right to be informed. Knowledge is power and when the right to be informed is taken away then we lose our voice and the FDA doesn't react to inaction. We as a people cannot make educated decisions on our health without the FDA taking the proper steps in labeling all foods that contain these harmful and alien ingrediants. Organic farrmers cannot stand alone in this fight. Organic farmers are being sued left and right by huge companies like Monsanto, and other farmers and being forced to buy Monsanto's seeds every year. This has to stop. Labeling is important. After PINK SLIME I think we can all agree on that.

In 2010, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began a campaign against small farmers who raise heritage pigs. Their claim is that heritage pigs are feral pigs that cause damage to the environment and carry disease. Farmers attempted to stop this action through a senate action, and the senators thought that the decision should be stopped. But when the senators were preparing to vote, they were being lobbied by presumably Big Pork producers, and after that, the decision remained. Beginning on 1 April 2012, the DNR will begin enforcing this decision by "depopulating" these small farms and the farmers will be felons for raising pigs that have be farmed for decades.

In 2009 the Indiana legislature took away the power of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission over cable and internet providers. We need to restore this function to the IURC. Fed up with your service? Me too.

On January 21, 2010, with its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons, entitled by the U.S. Constitution to buy elections and run our government. Human beings are people; corporations are legal fictions. We, the Citizens of Idaho, reject the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United, and ask our Congressional Representatives to amend our Constitution to: ~ Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights. ~ Guarantee the right to vote and to participate, and to have our vote and participation count. The Supreme Court is misguided in principle, and wrong on the law. In a democracy, the people rule. We ask our Idaho Congressional Representatives to support a constitutional amendment that reverses the damage of the Citizen United Supreme Court case.

"Grant’s Bills,” SB 423 and SB 424, would end the use of gas chamber euthanasia by shelters and Class B dealers in Michigan. Animals take a long time to die in gas chambers and suffer greatly.

We have a large deficit and the rich are not paying their fair share.

Wells Fargo Bank just issued a notification that beginning June 2012, individual's checking accounts will be charged a monthly fee of $15.00 if the individual doesn't have at least three Wells Fargo products or an average balance of $7,500.00 in all their accounts. This fee is clearly focused on the 99% of the population who can least afford the charge.

WAKE UP before it's Too Late. How many times have we been told something can be done safely, responsibly and beneficial to the people? Remember Bophal, India, Exon Valdez, and the deep water Gulf oil spill,the Chilean coal mine disaster, the Appalachian coal mine disaster,and too many, more to name. The corporate giants all said they could extract natural resources safely. They lied, we suffered. The health, livelihood and very culture of millions of people suffered. Are we fool enough to listen?

Purpose: To criminalize the payout & receiving of any monies, gratuities or any benefits by all members of Government & corporations. To make it a felony with immediate removal from public office & mandatory imprisonment Help stop the special interest of corporations & others in getting around laws & stop them from changing the laws for their interest. & most of all to keep our politicians honest!

Let's see how compelling their message is without the money that backs them.

Banks such as Chase Manhattan which took TARP money from the Federal Government should have to give equity back to individual and family homeowners. Bank of America is now trying to get home owners to become their renters when homes are under water. This is unjust! If you support justice for home owners adversely affected by the Wall Street fiasco, please sign this petition.

Shouldn't you know if chemicals in your child's shampoo cause brain damage? I didn't know dioxane, found in Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo was a carcinogen and they are not required to tell me. Health ratings of products are available, however, and Amazon should integrate them into the buying process. Problem: Toxic chemicals, such as neurotoxins (hurt the brain) and carcinogens (cancer-causing) are routinely put into personal care products such as soaps and cosmetics. There is little (if any) regulation requiring companies to remove toxic chemicals or disclose them. Here is a cartoon explaining some of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pfq000AF1i8 The Solution: GoodGuide.com provides the world’s largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of consumer products. GoodGuide's team of scientists rates consumer products along the following scales: health, environment, and social impact. They then provide scores so that consumers can easily figure out what products align with their health, environmental and social concerns. As the worlds largest online retailer they can easily integrate with rating databases, achieve huge impact, and set a new standard for retail. Thanks!
