  • Airlines: We want our luggage on OUR flights
    In a misguided effort to correct their own flawed business models, most airlines now charge for the right to check even a single suitcase. And yet, the airlines reserve the right to place your suitcase(s) on a different flight without telling you in advance and without being obliged to offer you a refund for a service they did not, in fact, provide. If airlines want to charge for baggage service, they should be required to actually provide that service rather than subject passengers to the extreme inconvenience and stress that invariably accompanies arrival at a destination without one's belongings. If the airlines are going to charge for a service, they should be required to provide it or refund your money. Period.

  • Amendment to fight Citizens United
    Citizens United was up held by the US Supreme Court. It says corporations are people and have the same free speech rights. Corporations have defined money as speech so they can use untold amounts of money annonomously to sway elections and legislation in their favor. This corrupts our democracy. Our elections are now de facto auctions to the highest bidder. Return our system to ONE PERSON,ONE VOTE.

  • Ask President Obama to Break Up Bank of America
    BofA is a massive zombie bank. It claims $2.2 trillion in assets equivalent to 15% of our entire economy, yet it is trading for $5 a share. This zombie just got a lot more dangerous. BofA is trying to move $22 trillion in derivatives out of its Merrill Lynch subsidiary and put them into its FDIC-insured bank. The Fed favors the move, FDIC does not. In this pile could be massive amounts of bad European debt, the same kind of debt that brought down Jon Corzine's MF Global. Taxpayers don’t backstop MF Global, we do backstop BofA. Tell President Obama, no more bailouts! Visit our site for bank-busting activists, Bankster USA (www.BanksterUSA.org), a project of the Center for Media and Democracy, for updates on the financial services re-regulation fight in Congress and for progressive net-roots campaigning against the big boys on Wall Street.

    Establish control of our American democracy by defining who is a citizen and who is not a citizen and who has First Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. Support a Constitutional amendment that allows the Congress to set maximum amounts that individual citizens can contribute to political campaigns and declare unlawful any campaign contribution from any corporate organization of any kind.

  • Garrot Gas Giants
    To bring gas prices down, we only need to boycott ONE company. (I'd suggest starting with BP) Tell them no one will buy from their company until they lower their prices to $1.00 a gallon. In order to survive, they must. When they do, the other companies will have to follow to compete.

  • corporations are not citizens
    Corporations are not citizens. If we allow corporations to purchase our government by paying the individuals who should be representing us, we will have a government that represents corporations not citizens. A corporation is first and foremost an entity that operates to produce profits. This can and often will be in contrast to what would be done for the good of the citizen. This Supreme Court has harmed us as a country and this issue must be dealt with before we see how much damage it will cause.

  • World for a Common Good
    For the common good and for the common defense; is a Promise we as citizenry must keep. Common defense does not provide an unequal security to American global corporate power as a privilege. Military used to invade and occupy any country, for the gain of just one sector of American society. When this is perceived in action, this should be considered a break away from our concept of a common defense for the common good.

  • Save the United States Post Office from corporate take over.
    The United States Post Office is under attack by corporate interests influencing goverment policies governing the USPS. The USPS is set up for financial failure on mutiple fronts. Some of the most destructive are a mandate to fund retirements of future workers that are not yet hired or born. Also a mandate to carry bulk mail and packages below costs for corporations. And refusal by governing bodies to allow the USPS to grow its business into identified profitable areas in information security. Politicians creating these mandates are catering to the financial interests of corporate carriers to reduce competition which will lead to an increase in prices for the services we all depend upon. Please help save this important American institution so providing information to others is affordable and impartial.
