Currently, our POD president will be in the United States of America for a paltry three-day tour in New York. She does not plan to visit her charges to offer much needed in-person guidance.

Corporations are taking over America. Our Freedoms are being attacked. Stand Up and Speak Up now. Let your voices be heard. Take back the vision of our Founding Fathers.

AT&T gave $462,739 to Rick Perry since 2000. Refuse to support Rick Perry's anti-choice, anti-GLBT & anti-environmental stances, to name but a few of the many issues progressive voters care about and Rick Perry fights against. Switch phone companies AND demand AT&T stop subsidizing radical politicians like Perry.

E-mail our Attorney General George Jepsen and tell him to stand with CCAG, Eric Schniederman (AG forNew York ), Beau Biden (AG for Deleware), dozens of members of congress and hundreds of citizen organizations throughout the country and oppose any deal that lets the banks and bankers off the hook. It is imperative that progressive Attorney Generals like George Jepsen raise their voices at this key time.

The recent Supreme Court decisions culminating in Citizens United have given corporate interests unprecedented leverage in controlling the political arena. These corporate interests have corrupted the political process and threaten to turn the United States into an oligarchy. It's time for a Constitutional amendment to return the power of the people TO the people.

Forty-five thousand union workers were on strike for two weeks. During this time, hundreds of customers' telephone, computer, or TV service has been affected by outages or lack of manpower to provide new service. Now that the good union men and women are back to work, Verizon refuses to release this work and would rather have its employees standing around looking for something to do. We are here to provide the best service in the industry, and this highly trained union workforce is ready to service the customers every technical need. Demand your service from Verizon today.

Court Reporter Davis, placed The U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Waite's "pre-testimony statement" about “personhood” in the written Statement of Facts, with the statement, “The defendant Corporations are persons within the intent of the clause of section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States,. In effect, corporate personhood was not decided by the case "of Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad. The reporter had inadvertently included comments made by the Chief Justice outside the decision's scope. no one corrected the record and soon judges were referencing those comments as "precedent that corporations are people. We need a law which redresses this erroneous reporting of the court;s findings in that case.

The Citizens United case has crushed true democracy. Public financing of political campaigns is needed to stop corporations from buying their personal congressional representatives in both the House and the Senate

I would like to start a state by state movement to vote on a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United supreme court decision.

Corporations should not enjoy the same rights as human beings. The power of corporations to influence our political life must end. The U.S. Constitution must be amended to end the existence of this legal fiction.

Ad Busters has proposed an Occupation of Wall Street starting September 14. A major demand is for the end of corporate personhood in the U.S. It's time for DEMOCRACY NOT CORPORATOCRACY! More info here: http://www.adbusters.org/blogs/adbusters-blog/occupywallstreet.html

Residents' drinking water, health, and property values are being systematically destroyed as a result of carcinogens, neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors and radioactive material in the fluid used in, and waste water resulting from, the new hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" process of horizontal drilling for natural gas wells all over the country. We are likewise concerned about over-projections of reserves by the natural gas and finance industries, and the likelihood that it is causing yet another economic bubble ready to burst and further damage our nation's economy. We demand that our state assembly bring a halt to all new drilling until the EPA's cumulative impact study is complete, and we demand that our congress repeal exemptions to the Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act granted to the natural gas industry in the 2005, so that they will again be regulated by the EPA. We further call for an end to corporate welfare funded by our tax dollars to these corporations, and demand that our state and federal governments hold accountable every corporation responsible for drinking water contamination, the health effects endured by individuals and families in communities affected by natural gas drilling, and inflated projections of reserves that put us at increased risk in this fragile economy.
