• City of Tucson - Move Your Money!
    With a track record of mortgage abuses and unfair treatment of low income and minority customers, Wells Fargo does not represent the values of most Tucsonans. Yet the City of Tucson and the Rio Nuevo board invest a large portion of our community's money in Wells Fargo accounts. At the height of the sub-prime lending boom, Wells Fargo was 3-4 times more likely to loan sub-prime mortgages to financially stable Latinos and African-Americans than to Caucasians. In 2010, Wells was fined by a U.S. District Judge for its predatory overdraft practices. And Wells Fargo is one of only two remaining U.S. banks to offer Direct Deposit Advance, a type of high interest payday loan available right from the ATM machine, with marketing targeting low income and minority customers. Tucson deserves better! Let's call on the City of Tucson and Rio Nuevo to move OUR money out of Wells Fargo and back into our community through investment in a community bank!

  • Corporations are not people, and do not have human rights.
    The Supreme Court, by many decisions, has given corporations the same rights as people. The Citizens United decision,the most recent of many such decisions, clearly allows the unlimited wealth of corporations to determine the outcome of elections. I propose that we join Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont in sponsoring a constitutional amendment which puts limits on corporations, including this: "Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people."

  • Overturn Citizens United decision
    The Supreme Court decision that corporations have the rights of individuals and can spend unlimited anonymous funds in support of political issues and candidates (via PAC's) imperils democracy in our country.

  • Supreme Court Mistake Corporations Are Not People
    The supreme court committed a grave error in treating corporate speech the same as of human beings. (Citizens United) This decision allows corporate money to flood the political process and will corrupt our democracy. It will reshape the way elections are conducted. We're calling on all U.S. citizens to demand that the control of our elections be returned to "the people" and not corporations. Congress should legislate to fix the error of the Supreme Court

  • Bank of America's scam
    We need to put a stop to B of A screwing people by changing dates of transactions to charge extra overdraft fees. There is a classaction suit pending appeals where for each fee people were charged $35 they will be refunded $3.15. They ripped us off and are getting away with it. The lawyers will receive millions of our money that was stolen from our accounts. The lawyersw should be doing this probono. It never affected them.

  • Tell Cox Communications That You're Tired Of Being Their Sucker
    Cox Communications is willfully taking the hard earned money of tens of thousands or more of it's cableCARD and switched digital video customers each month and turning them into suckers. They've been knowingly overcharging for inaccessible services since they began renting cableCARDS and offering switched digital video tuners to customers years ago. CableCARD customers are subsidizing executive paychecks. As of August 8th 2011, the FCC has instated new rules for cable operators regarding the devices and service plans. Cox is playing ignorant.

  • Occupy Wall St's Absent Supporters
    Many middle-aged people support the Occupy Movement but are unable or afraid to participate for fear of losing their job and/or their health insurance. Images suggest most of the participants are young or retired or jobless. Wouldn't it be interesting to discover how many folks they are representing who cannot be actively involved? Why not sign a petition to demonstrate your support? If your health care was not tied directly to your work what kind of freedom would that grant? Is that part of the reason some might like to keep healthcare tied to employment?

  • Federal Investigation of Housing FRaud
    Bankers, rating institutions, and other corporate entities destroyed the United States economy and yet nobody has been prosecuted, nor has there been significant reform to ensure history doesn't repeat itself. In fact the same individuals who violate the laws that should have protected our country are either still receiving multiple billion dollar bonuses or are employed in government under the Obama administration. It's time to pressure President Obama to investigate the architects of the housing bubble and hold them accountable for destroying our economy through ruthless greed and corruption.

  • Impeach Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice
    Justice Thomas has not only covertly but also overtly flaunted his dual relationships while refusing to recuse himself from a number of cases in which he and /or his wife (who is with the Heritage Foundation) has benefited both financially as well as legislatively. This has never before been overlooked tolerated.
