• No More Think Tanks!
    Demand a pledge from all news organizations to refuse to give politically motivated Think Tanks a mouthpiece to spread their political agendas regardless of affiliation. Think Tanks are the agenda mills of corporations and only serve to manipulate the public will to their political agendas. The only way to stop their influence is to refuse to give them air time to legitimize their causes.

  • Stop Home Affordable Modification Program Bank Abuses
    Have you or someone you know tried to get a mortgage modification only to be asked over and over for the same paperwork? Has the bank stalled so much that the time runs out so you have to re-apply over and over? Have you been told to stop making payments only to then have the bank say you have to pay all the missed payments and penalties or they will foreclose? These abuses are hurting thousands of people every day who are just trying to stay in their homes and make payments that they can afford. This program was supposed to help people and instead it is crushing the people it was intended to help. We must make the powers that created this program aware of the abuses these banks are perpetrating on their customers. If government does not step in to make this right, the banks will certainly continue and this program will remain the harsh joke that it has become rather than the help to average Americans and our economy that it was intended to be.

  • America's Media in limbo
    People of America should fight and let it be known that the news media is falsely making the Presidential race bias. People let it be known to stand and vote and boycott the New media Fox and CNN and others who leave out polls of the people running. Why isnt FAIR & BALANCED reporting happening instead of one sided views from the head of these new media companies?

  • 1-day General Strike for Campaign Finance Reform
    Whereas our corporate-owned Congress will not concede power to the American electorate, be it resolved that citizen organizations in favor of genuine democracy (e.g., Contract for the American Dream signatories, all unions public and private) will coordinate and pledge to stage 1-day general strikes, monthly, until Congress enacts constitutional amendments reversing Citizens United v. FEC and enacting public financing for campaigns.

    This is a petition to the Congress of The United States of America and the President of The United States of America to reinstate the act, Glass-Steagall, which was summarily repealed in 1999 by passage of the Graham Leach Bliley Act which allowed our financial industry to commingle financial institution depositor's funds with speculative investment funds endangering those funds,the well-being of those whose rightful property those funds belonged, and the basis of the national economy of the United States of America. Glass-Steagall calls for separation of Investment and Commercial Banking Institutions.

  • Wall Street Responsibility
    I believe that incredible damage was done to this country by the irresonsibility that was exhibited by Wall Street prior, during and after the crash of 2008 which nearly took down our entire country's economy. There has not been one person charged, not one grand jury convened and no justice for the many who have suffered the aftershocks of Wall Street Greed.

  • GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE
    We elect people to go into state and federal government to represent us and our interests. They don't! Too many of our elected representatives act in the interest of corporate America, whose self interest is international, We are finally holding our elected officials accountable. We are watching. It's them-- the corporations or us-- the people. Stand up for the American people or we will act at the polls! We have had enough!

  • President Obama, allow the EPA to raise air quality standards.
    As a result of heavy industry lobbying, the Obama administration decided not to allow the EPA to strengthen air quality standards. Lobbyists claimed that higher air quality standards would hurt the economy. The administration agreed to retain the weaker Bush administration standards.
