• Obama...Make them get up off the MHA money
    After a 2 year battle to keep my home, Morgan Stanley has shuffled me from servicer to servicer causing my loan mod app to be started and restarted, with me faxing and refaxing the same documents, them losing documents and then finding them only after they are over 30 days old and can't be used because they are outdated. I have been subjected throughout the last two years to my documents laying around on someones desk for months at a time, all the while getting further and further behind in my payments.....I desperately need help. I have had my home for 12 years and had a horrible accident that wiped out my business, totaled my transportation and landed me in the hospital. I did not intentionally default.....I just want to keep the only thing I have left.....My home

  • ATM FEES
    It should be illegal for banks to charge so much (whatever they want) to withdraw your own money from an ATM. We believe this amount should be limited to a few cents. We all know they are not replacing or maintaining the machines with the money they earn and everyone is affected here. There are many other ideas such as this which can stimulate the economy and stop corporate greed with one stroke, lets get this done.

  • Ask Your Legislators: What are you doing about money in politics?
    The 2012 legislative session has begun, and it is time to ask your legislators: "What are you planning to do this session to address citizen concern about the influence of money and connections in policy-making?" The time is now. Let's urge our legislators to take action this session to address these critical issues for our democracy. We know that so much more can be done to reduce the undue influence of money in politics, ensure stronger disclosure of campaign spending, strengthen our ethics laws, and promote transparency and citizen participation.

  • Reject Florida’s privatization bills! Keep our communities safe and our people employed.
    Gov. Rick Scott and some Florida legislators are rushing full steam ahead to enact legislation, specifically SB 2036 and SB 2038, that would privatize governmental services and agencies without public input. They are trying to pass these bills as early as THIS WEEK. These bills will compromise public safety, cause unemployment, and hurt communities and small businesses across Florida. This scheme starts with immediate plans to privatize 29 prisons in 18 counties in south and central Florida with NO EXIT STRATEGY should things go wrong. No other state in our nation has given contracts to private prisons at even close to this level. As a correctional officer, I know firsthand that if this bill passes, many of my fellow officers will be out of a job. Families and children of my fellow officers will be uprooted. In some communities, this will significantly alter public school funding. There are literally thousands of public servants whose families will be impacted if this bill becomes law! These bills are physically and economically dangerous, and the effects irreversible. Here’s just some of what they’d do: • Squander taxpayer money to reward political donors. Florida is already riddled with past and present issues of corruption, over-billing, mismanagement and failure to maintain our public facilities by privately-run correctional corporations. Enough is enough! • Hurt small businesses across Florida. Unemployment will rise. The officers that will be hired will be paid less. This means less money spent in our communities. • Put your family’s safety on the line. Did you know that private prisons do not chase escaped inmates past the perimeter like the public prisons do, which means more escaped prisoners in our communities? And private prison corporations have often failed to live up to legal requirements in the past. This bill will just make the problem worse.

  • Boycott Koch Products
    This isn't exactly a petition -- more of a campaign. There are lots of villains on the right in the wake of the Citizens United decision, but the biggest pigs in the puddle are the Koch brothers. I don't know all their products -- Georgia Pacific is one that makes a lot of paper products. Move On members should very publicly state that they will not buy any product associated with the Koch brothers. We need Move On's research department to ID them all. If we can have an impact with Koch other businesses, who dread having their products dragged into public controversy, will get the message. This is how to deal with Citizens United -- at least in the short run.

  • Supporters in Congress: Get Behind A Single Citizens United Amendment by July 4th.
    Each member of Congress named on this petition has supported one of the twelve constitutional amendments that have been proposed in Congress to reverse the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. These proposals are similar, and they all include variations on one or more of the following principles. 1. Money is not speech, and Congress has the authority to regulate the use of money to influence elections 2. Corporations are not people, and Congress has the authority to regulate corporate engagement in the political process 3. Federal campaigns should be publicly financed We now challenge the leaders who stand behind these proposals to take the next step. We call on them to merge their many proposals into one, to unite behind it, and then to present that proposal to the American people by July 4th of this year.

  • Stop Voter Suppression!
    The conservative-controlled state legislature in Minnesota wants to use the Minnesota state constitution to take away our right to vote. They are pushing a constitutional amendment toward the November ballot that would restrict voting only to those who can present a photo I.D. with their current address. Tens of thousands of law-abiding Minnesotans would lose their right to vote. This is nothing more than a modern day poll tax - an intentional attack on our democracy by corporations and the 1% who want to permanently cut out whole swaths of the electorate.

  • Wall Street Investigation and Monies for Nebraska
    We want our Attorney General to join with the Attorney General of NY, Eric Schneiderman, in the investigation of Wall Street Banks and to prosecute those that were responsible for our current economic condition. We ask him and our Senators to make sure those, in Nebraska, who suffered loss due to fraudulent practices, get a fair share of money or receive help in renegotiating their mortgage.

  • Demand Real Wall Street Accountability
    President Obama's administration has abjectly failed to prosecute the top Wall Street and bailed-out bankers who devastated our economy with fraud. Now he's claiming to get tough with a new prosecution unit, but it's got the same failed leadership. We need President Obama to get real about prosecuting the people who wrecked our economy.
