Florida State Rep.Rachel Burgin (R) introduced legislation to reduce corporate taxes but forgot to remove the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) mission statement from her bill. She did not write this legislation, ALEC did. ALEC is backed by large corporations who have corrupted our political process. Rachel Burgin has failed to represent the interests of Floridians and has instead taken her marching orders from corporate puppet masters. Occupy Naples Florida calls on Rachel Burgin to resign immediately.

Millions of people are not given choices as to what channels they want to watch and end up paying for numerous channels they don't watch at the discretion of Comcast. I believe I am at the mercy of Comcast in having to pay expensive monthly service fees for channels that I never watch nor care to watch. Why can't this company say they will provide channels at $2.00 a month and we can choose our stations and charges. I don't have any experience with dish TV but they are the probably similar. It seems ludicrous that if I want to enjoy cable TV, I have to accept these outrageous charges for channels I don't watch. Policymakers in Washington, please help us (especially those on fixed incomes) to direct cable companies to provide affordable, sensible consumer specific services.

The SEC routinely grants waivers to large companies Wall Street companies who break laws and regulations. 1 Regular people don't get waivers if they break a law. 2 Unequal enforcement of the law is not a free-market, it's crony capitalism. The SEC should not have the authority to issue such waivers, they should just enforce the laws and regulations.

PG&E will now charge any customer who opts out of a smart meter a $75 opt-out fee. In addition to the $75 you will be charged an additional $10 a month. PG&E has admitted that tens of thousands of its meters are not working properly, are not giving proper readings, and there are bills that they have to estimate and this is a really big problem, Smart meters have been shown to have a toxic effect from exposure to microwave and radio wave radiation the meters emit.

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them losing documents and then finding them only after they are over 30 days old and can't be used because they are outdated.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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
