Our story is a prime example of what so many hard working Americans are facing from day to day. When President Obama addressed the people at the State of the Union address, he gave us a glimmer of hope for a better future. While addressing the State of the Union, he assured the American people he would hold wrong doers of the Real Estate/foreclosure crisis accountable and ensure for a level playing field. Our story is a direct reflection of how manipulative, dishonest, and out and out ruthless the Big Banks, Indiana lawyers, and judicial system has become. They have infiltrated the very core of our Justice System, while leaving the hard working Americans to fend for themselves. When lawyers mislead, abuse, and manipulate the Federal courts, we know we are in a very unbalanced playing field, and when the courts buy into their lies we know as hard working Americans, there is no Justice what so ever. We can honestly make these accusations based on miserable first hand experiences. We have been forced to endure a sadistic emotional and financial roller coaster ride throughout our journey to reveal the truth of an unsubstantiated wrongful foreclosure. Our understanding of the Judiciary obligation to the people is quite different from what has happened to us. Our understanding of the Judiciary's obligation is to uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and Impartiality of the office, while avoiding impropriety and the appearance of impropriety. We have always believed the people have the right to be heard in order to allow for a level and fair playing field. Truth, Justice and The American way is literally becoming a myth. We the People are beginning to lose confidence in the very thing we hold so dear, and unclear to the intent of which instituted the pledge of allegiance; I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Where do the hard working, truthful American people turn for a fair fight? Help in the fight to hold the true criminals accountable. By signing this petition, we can truly start on the road of accountability.

New Mexico's Senate is considering a memorial opposing the United States Supreme Court's controversial Citizens United decision which now allows unlimited spending by corporations in elections. The legislation passed the New Mexico State House on January 31, and if approved by the Senate, would place our state on record as the 2nd state in the nation to oppose the ruling (a constitutional amendment would eventually return to the 3/4s of the states for ratification). Senators have the option of signing on as cosponsors of this legislation, and so should we. Add your name to this list of Citizen Sponsors of Senate Memorial 3, opposing this attack on our nation's democracy.

It is absurd to have Mr. Taylor involved with the FDA. You, Mr. President, have made a serious mistake.

This petition is about returning the influence of the vote to the human citizens of communities and states a cross the nation, making politicians and polices reflect the will, and serve the common good of the people above all, not the financial interest of corporations.

MICHAEL TAYLOR'S FORMER CONNECTION TO MONSANTO AS VICE PRESIDENT AND LOBBYIST CLEARLY REVEALS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN WORKING WITH THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION AS ADVISOR TO THE COMMISSIONER.

To protect all consumers across all industries and especially those historically providing poor service and doing everything possible to avoid providing even basic acceptable levels of customer service.

President Obama appointed former Monsanto vice president and lobbyist Michael Taylor to the FDA. Anyone connected to Monsanto the maker of the terminator seed, GMO food and seed engineering that has destroyed the livelihood, lives of so many cannot possible "protect" consumers in any food and drug related matters. This reveals the integrity of our president and where his true loyalties run - to the highest bidder and the powers of the corporate world. * This is a classic example of the fox guarding the henhouse. *President Obama should isolate the FDA from corporate influence by asking Taylor to step down immediately.

We need to make President Obama aware of the importance why he should not allow someone like Mr. Taylor to be the senior advisor to the FDA commissioner. Mr.Michael Taylor, a former VP and lobbyist for Monsanto, is a classic example of the fox guarding the henhouse. His appointment would not serve us, the PEOPLE, but it would definitely serve Monsanto and many other big CORPORATIONS. Maria Yum Cocord, Ca.

GM agreed with the local contract on our wages and benefits for workers who work FOS, Flexible Operating Schedules by signing and agreeing with what was in our "local" contract. It stated that employees who work the FOS should be compensated for working 12hr shifts, and, every other Saturday and Sunday by being paid premium pay on Sat. and Sun. forgoing a regular 8hr 5-day week "normal" schedule. Also no overtime for working 8hrs. By sacrificing by not working the "normal" schedule we were promised by GM who signed to and agreed to the local contract. But now they want to pay us straight time for pay even though it would be violating the agreement they signed and agreed to. Please don't let them win they have cut my wages in half and cut my heath benefits. They have "taken" so much making the workers sacrifice while the CEOS and top executives give themselves bonus and raises they don't even deserve for a company they caused to go bankrupt by moving our jobs over seas. We need to stop them from "getting away' with violating the promise they made to their employees and then threatening workers by stating they'll close our facility or getting rid of the jobs we perform if we don't agree with what they want. Help us by signing below letting the politicians and the people in power know that workers have a right to a job and not threatening a union if we don't agree to their terms, even if what they are doing is a violation of the law--unfair labor practice, violated by not honoring what they agreed to. But they know they can intimidate if they don't get what they want "all the time"., Whats the purpose of a union if a corporation can threaten their workers with a loss of job? We sacrificed by letting our income get cut in half and our benefits reduced. It was our sacrifices that turned this company around. Not the CEO'S big bonuses and who shipped our jobs over sea that bankrupted American's who lost the jobs and could not afford to spend money they no longer had which caused this country to go bankrupt. Stand up and be counted, even if your not a union employee no one, especially in today's economy, should be threaten with losing their job. Don't let a big Corporation get away with violating the law nor the people who made them what they are today or it may be you next? If no one stands up then it's as if your agreeing with the unjust treatment. their Goliath we're David wont you be the stone in David's hand and help us get this giant so he doesn't step all over us and crush us all. Thank you for your support our jobs depend on it.

Seigneurie, a subsidiary of PPG Industries, a Pittsburgh-headquartered company is manufacturing paint in Cameroon that they know contains unsafe lead limits. According to a paint sample study done in Cameroon last year, nine of 24 Seigneurie paints bought in stores contained lead concentrations of more than 300 parts per million and eight of those had lead concentrations above 1,800 parts per million. One Seigneurie paint, for metal application, contained 500,000 parts per million of lead, or half its volume, according to the paint survey by CREPD, a Cameroon-based nonprofit.
