  • Hidden Agendas Hurt Average Americans
    Hidden agendas have caused aweful decisions to arise: the FDA approving GMO's as safe; SOPA being passed; congress deciding pizza is a "vegetable;" the supreme court deeming corporations as "individuals." We need to stop letting our politicians be bought, and instead let them work for PEOPLE'S rights, not corporate interests.

  • Holding Banks Accountable for Foreclosure Impact
    Foreclosures and abuses by the Big Banks are crippling our economy. In many cases the Big Banks broke rules, falsified paperwork or defrauded home buyers—and gambled with our homes to enrich themselves. They have yet to be held responsible. Our attorney general has the power to hold the big banks accountable and to provide restitution to homeowners who have lost their homes or whose mortgages are "underwater."

  • Repeal Citizens United and curtail Corporate Plutocracy
    I am concerned that GOP/Corporate-centered, Supreme Court favored decision in Citizens United will consolidate Corporate Plutocracy in America. As such, the Citizens United decision must be effectively repealed in order to protect American democracy equitably at all levels.

  • Stand up to friendly's restaurant
    Friendly's Restaurant recently shut down a portion of its stores. They did it in the middle of the night with no notice to its employees. When they came in that morning the doors were locked with no explanation. Once again the greedy corporations thinks they can do what they want to the struggling middle class. Organize a protest at one of the still remaining places, call them, or write the ceo a letter and of course boycott them, till, the fairly compensate the employes.

  • Restore United Airlines Pension Plans
    During bankruptcy, United Airlines terminated its employee pension plans and handed them to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC), resulting in up to 80% losses of benefits for retirees. United violated PBGC rules by stating its frequent flyer program was nearly a $400 million liability, its book value, when it should have been shown as a $7 billion asset, its market value as per PBGC requirements. Part of that program could have been sold, as Air Canada did, with that money used to fund its pensions. Now United is highly profitable and has over $8 billion in cash. The PBGC, funded to a great extent by American taxpayers, has the authority to make United take back and restore its pension plans, greatly improving the quality of life for United retirees and removing that liability from taxpayers.

  • Hold USCC Accountable For Company Direction
    This petition serves Windows Phone, Android, and Blackberry owners alike. This petition serves to allow you, the customer to voice your discontent with USCC's stagnation in moving forward in the Smartphone ecosystem. The ultimate power lies within the purchaser. Please exercise your your right to flex your purchasing muscle by signing this petition! I will send this petition directly to Mary N. Dillon, President and C.E.O. of USCC, to let her know of the level of dissatisfaction amongst customers with device selection and customer service, which has taken a turn for the worse. As the 6th largest Mobile Carrier in the US, it is time for USCC to stop acting as though they have no influence in the shaping of the ecosystem and are unable to finance better devices. As the 6th largest Mobile Carrier, the recent downfall in customer services with constant reports of customer and rep confrontation must be addressed as well, starting at the top. Please help to get better devices and services from USCC, help to hold them accountable. Sign and let others know as well. I am looking to generate at least 2000 votes, as I believe this is starting point to get her attention. The more signatures we can generate, the more effective this petition will be.

  • 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.
