Make Internet Service a Public Utility for IllinoisThe FCC has voted against net neutrality. We must take a stand to protect the people's access to internet here in Illinois from the inevitable corporate censorship and greed that we can already see in the outrageous rates charges and poor service. The best way to do this is to give regulatory power over internet service to a representative body of the people of Illinois153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by William Jaster Jr.

FACEBOOK'S ALGORITHMS ARE PROMOTING PERSECUTION AND RIGHTIST EXTREMISMI heard a story on WNYC that I found greatly disturbing. It seems that fascists, Nazis, white supremacists and the like have learned how to use Facebook greatly to their advantage. Therefore Facebook has unwitting helped the persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar and facilitated the rise of authoritarian proto-fascist regimes in India, Turkey, Hungary and others. It seems that FB’s algorithm greatly favors the kind of inflammatory comments that get many progressive comments AGAINST them. FB “favors” those posts that draw the most comments – and so I have noticed lately that pro-Trump inanities attacking progressive posts, once they have drawn many responses against them, are seen on the top of the “response feed.” Therefore a fascistic post or even simple (-minded) trolling gets priority – no matter that the comments are 90-95% against it. If FB would change their algorithm to weight the CONTENT of the comments, as opposed to favoring those who get the greatest NUMBER OF REPLIES, LIKES, ETC, that would obviate this problem. What do you think? Isn’t DEMOCRACY at stake?5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Glick

Tell UPS: Stop forcing drivers to work 70-hour weeks!UPS is forcing package drivers to work up to 70 hours a week this holiday season. Forcing exhausted drivers to work so much is unsafe to workers and the public. Rather than creating a holiday safety hazard, UPS should create more full-time jobs that pay a living wage.2,057 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Working Families Party

State Street Corporation: Remove 'Trump' from your hotelDonald Trump is the first president to refuse to divest from his business holdings while in office. Coupled with his refusal to release his tax returns, that level of secrecy makes it impossible to know when he’s representing us as a nation and when he’s representing his own business interests. The President has a choice: to lead the country or to continue enriching himself. And until Trump makes the right call, his business partners must not enable corruption. That’s why we’re calling on these companies, starting with State Street Corporation and the GE Pension Trust, the owners of the Trump International Hotel and Tower in NYC, to remove President Trump’s name from their building. The Trump International Hotel and Tower by Columbus Circle is one of the most recognizable Trump branded properties in the world. We need to send a signal that New Yorkers won’t stand for this kind of blatant corporate greed in their own backyard. We must band together to demand that State Street and the GE Pension Trust stop doing business with the Trump Organization, and drop Trump’s name. There is already momentum. On Nov 22, the Trump Organization announced that they will be “walking away” from the Trump SoHo Hotel—which has been marred in scandal, and financial woes.(1) Now, Trump is facing scrutiny from the Maryland and DC AG’s office who are starting to investigate his Washington DC hotel stating that it “enables him to make money from foreign and domestic governments, breaching two Constitutional clauses intended to prevent that.”(2) This is an unprecedented conflict of interest. Companies should not be profiting from this corruption. Buildings like Trump International Hotel and Tower should drop Trump’s name while he’s in office. If we act now to pressure other properties to drop the Trump brand we can demonstrate just how toxic his corruption is. After all, a commander in chief who has ongoing involvement in a private business that bears his name cannot truly represent our interests because we aren’t his constituents first. Instead, we’re his patrons, workers, and competition. We need a president who puts country before company. If President Trump won’t divest from his businesses while in office, we need to make sure that companies refuse to profit from corruption. Take a stand against corruption: tell State Street Corporation and the GE Pension Trust to remove President Trump’s name from their hotel.399 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lead Not Greed

End the deletion of legal content posted to secret Facebook groupsFacebook has become increasingly anti-free speech by deleting legal content it finds inappropriate and or against facebooks beliefs in private/secret groups. Secret groups are a way for like-minded people to share ideas, beliefs, and content in a forum designed to opt-in and participate in within a closed private group. Facebook has taken it upon themselves to remove and punish those (aka Facebook Jail) for posting legal content it disagrees with. Please sign this petition and share in the interest of free speech and protecting our 1st amendment! We the people are not helpless and must demand our rights!74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Roland

Save the internet: Overturn the FCC's repeal of Net Neutrality!July 2018 update: The FCC's repeal of net neutrality went into effect on June 11th. Now it's even more important to get lawmakers to act. Senators passed a resolution to save net neutrality via the Congressional Review Act. It's up to our congressional representatives to do the same. ------- On December 14, the Federal Communications Commission repealed net neutrality, handing control of the internet to Big Telecom. The repeal of net neutrality gives monopolistic internet providers like Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T the power to block, censor, and slow down your favorite sites on the web. 83% of Americans support net neutrality protections. Congress, as the oversight body for the FCC, can overturn this massive giveaway to the telecom industry. Since the FCC voted to end net neutrality, 20 senators have already pledged to reverse the FCC's vote, and we can convince others to join us. We need to build on this momentum -- tell your member of Congress to support the resolution to restore net neutrality now!108,649 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

This letter alleges fraudulent negative statements involving possible Identity theft made during the comment period.
