Donald 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.

Facebook 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!

Our country is being devastated by an opioid crisis while our duly elected Republican congressmen accept bribes to pass laws protecting the pharmacutical companies from DEA enforcement.

The TF rank on CC not going on sale along with everything else on the website has personally affected me. It made me very upset, I feel lied to I need some support. The deadline for 500 signatures is by Christmas, DEC. 25 2017

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!

The FCC has voted to reverse the policy of Net Neutrality; despite a letter sent prior to their decision by the Attorney General of New York State. This letter alleges fraudulent negative statements involving possible Identity theft made during the comment period. Congress should suspend implementation of this policy until an investigation of these allegations is made

This petition is in response to Ajit Pai and the FCC's attack on net neutrality. In response, the CA legislature should strike back at the profitability of telecom companies by providing at-cost internet service to the state.

My internet, and amendment rights were taken from me when the White House voted to repeal net neutrality. Our freedom is our top priority, and if net neutrality is taken away we are not a free people.

Investigators with Direct Action Everywhere recently exposed horrific violence at a Costco egg farm in Colorado. At this “cage-free” farm, hens were packed into enclosures so tightly that they were often piled three high. The bodies of trampled birds were left to rot inside the farm. These eggs are sold at Costco as “certified humane.” During the investigation, activists rescued one hen named Bailey who was trapped inside the farm’s machinery. According to egg industry estimates, more than 1 million hens die every year by getting stuck this way! See her story at dxe.io/costcocagefree. Costco is known as a progressive company, but there is nothing progressive about animal abuse and consumer fraud. Tell Costco to stop lying about the conditions that animals live in!

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote an article he named “Saudi Arabia's Arab Spring, At Last." He maintained that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman was bringing a new era of liberty to Saudi Arabia even though it is obvious that the reverse is happening. As Salman is grasping more and more power we see the ramping up of censorship, arrests, imprisonments without fair trials and other forms of repression against dissent. Friedman barely mentioned Salman’s war on Yemen terming it a “humanitarian nightmare” as if it were some natural event like a flood or earthquake rather than a deliberate attempt to force Salman’s will on Yemen through violence and siege. Nor does he explain that the U.S. government has given Salman a blank check for his violence and human rights outrages. Friedman’s article was a piece of propaganda and he should be disciplined by the Times out of respect for journalistic integrity.

This petition is about social justice. The 7-11 company sells their gas to working class people, never informing them that just buying gas with a card could lead to an outrageous card hold of $125 held for 3 weeks. This practice must stop immediately.

Since the Equifax data breach folks are more concerned with data security and not becoming victims of identity theft. I went to freeze my accounts and found out that these agencies can charge consumers in California for this access. To unfreeze is also a fee. So anytime one wants to have better control over who can access their credit information, it's a fee to you. This is ludicrous and must stop. For years agencies have controlled our credit worthiness and have been benefiting, without our consent, from our personal information by selling it to merchants. If they are allowed to collect our personal information, we must be allowed - without charge - to manage, access and control who can and cannot be permitted to see it.
