corporations are not citizensCorporations 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by mike rinderle

World for a Common GoodFor 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rashieda Shukuraht Weaver

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.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Sam

Time Warner Stop Charging Us for MSGTime Warner sends $4.60 a month to MSG for providing the channel. They should not be allowed to keep this money. It belongs to consumers. Further, there was just a seven percent rate increase -- the second in a year. No one believes they are defending the rights of the consumer and trying to keep costs down. This is a dispute between two huge monopoly media companies and the consumer is stuck in the middle with no leverage. ----------------14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ruth Grunberg

Money out of politicsMoney in our political process has corrupted government. We have legalized bribery presently. Corporations and the very rich use their wealth to consolidate their power to the detriment of working Americans. All elections should be publicly financed. The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court has exacerbated this problem.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gerald Caldeira

Tell Mainsteam Media to stop boycotting Ron PaulAs we've seen the past few months, Fox News, CNN, and other news sources have done their best to alienate Ron Paul. Because he does not fit the status quo, all of these mainstream news sources have done their best to make him sound like a quack. He is treated unfairly compared to every other candidate in the GOP race. We need to let these people know that we will boycott them if they continue to show prejudice against him.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adam Vamosi

Get Private Money Out Of Public ElectionsElected officials should represent voters, not dollars. We need 100% publicly financed campaigns, with strict time limits. Under current laws, money has all the power: corporations and the super-rich rule the rest of us. There's no such thing as free speech in politics today: every single word has been bought and paid for by the special interests who pay the salaries of consultants who craft the messages. Politicians are not picked because they have ideas or integrity, but because they can "stay on message." We won't solve our larger problems until we fix this one.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christian Doering
