The European Commission just found that Apple – with the help of the tax haven of Ireland – has been dodging billions of dollars in taxes. The EC’s ruling states that Apple must pay up to $14.5 billion in back taxes to Ireland on its European profits. Now it is time for the U.S. Treasury Department to follow suit and investigate Apple’s profit shifting and tax dodging. Apple has more than $215 billion in profits stashed offshore on which it could owe the American people more than $60 billion in taxes. Stand with us in demanding that the U.S. Treasury Department immediately investigate Apple for profit shifting and U.S. tax avoidance. Demand that Apple pay what it owes to America in back taxes!

This petition is being started on behalf of the families of children with dangerous allergies , who are being bilked out of their hard-earned money, while CEO Bresch has enriched herself ($18.9 million dollars) at their expense.

AB 700 will strike the biggest blow yet against the unlimited secret money unleashed by Citizens United. It requires ads about ballot measures -- and ads about candidates by outside groups like SuperPACs -- to clearly and prominently disclose their top 3 true funders, right on the ads themselves. With more secretive big money than ever poised to be spent in California's election, we must pass AB 700 now. AB 700 faces its final vote on Tuesday, August 30th. Please sign and share this petition to Senator Stone asking him to vote “Yes”!

Enterprise, the largest rental car company in the United States, is a funder and member of ALEC -- the shadowy corporate lobbying group that is weakening our democracy while pretending to be a charity. ALEC works behind closed doors to help big corporations like Exxon Mobil, Comcast, Pfizer, & Koch Industries secretly lobby politicians for favorable treatment. Ordinary voters and everyday Americans’ voices are being shut out of the process; whether it's big oil or big tobacco, corporations should not be able to get a tax write-off for funding a lobbying organization that lets corporations have the same say on “model” bills as lawmakers. We all pay the price with more pollution, lower wages, higher medical bills, and cuts to public schools when ALEC’s corporate-backed “model bills” undermine environmental protections, access to healthcare, workers’ rights, and public education funding. It’s a system that undermines our democracy, putting wealthy special interests above the American people. It’s surprising that Enterprise is funding ALEC, given that over 100 major companies like Google, Coca-Cola, Facebook, General Motors, Expedia, and Ford Motor Company have all left ALEC in recent years, due to its extreme agenda and the fact that ALEC is committing tax fraud as it works as a lobbying group but is registered as charity. That means corporations like Enterprise can get a tax write-off for their funding to ALEC. Our democracy should belong to all of us, not just wealthy special interests at ALEC. That’s why Enterprise needs to join over 100 other major companies and stop funding ALEC’s dangerous corporate-funded political agenda and anti-democratic activities.

Enterprise, the largest car rental company in the world, was recently revealed by the Center for Media and Democracy and the Guardian to be a dues-paying member of the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC helps right-wing lawmakers fulfill corporate wishlists on a variety of topics that undermine American health and safety – including spreading climate change denial and blocking climate solutions. Enterprise makes “green” commitments to plant trees and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in public but funds ALEC in private. Enterprise must cut ties with ALEC immediately.

*UPDATE: The company’s “solution” in the face of overwhelming public outcry is to offer more coupons. But it has not lowered the price ONE CENT. So keep the pressure up!* Millions of children and adults in the U.S. are at risk of fatal allergic reactions from common occurrences like getting stung by a bee or accidentally consuming peanuts. A pocket-sized medical device called an EpiPen can be a literal life-saver for these folks. But Mylan — the multinational pharmaceutical company that makes the EpiPen — has been steadily jacking up the price. - In 2007, the wholesale price on an EpiPen in the U.S. was $57. - Today, just nine years later, it’s over $300. - Even though each EpiPen contains only a few dollars’ worth of medicine. - Even though a two-pack is just $85 in France. - And even though Mylan, which has a near monopoly in the U.S., has seen its profits from the EpiPen alone skyrocket to $1.2 billion a year. Now, many people who could actually die without an EpiPen can’t afford one! Tell Mylan CEO Heather Bresch to immediately reduce the price of this life-and-death treatment that so many people depend on.

Everyone deserves to know who is spending money on our elections -- it’s the only way for voters to know who is trying to influence our views and our elected representatives. This November, South Dakota voters will have the chance to make that right to know a reality -- when they vote on Measure 22, a package of democracy reforms that includes full public disclosure of political donors. But the Koch brothers and their big-donor network are bankrolling a big-money effort against Measure 22, buying ads and hiring staff to turn voters against these common-sense solutions that an overwhelming majority of Americans support. The Kochs are notorious for spending big to promote their agenda -- but this goes one step further. In attacking Measure 22, the Kochs are opposing common sense reforms to create a democracy that represents all of us -- preserving the Big Money status quo that benefits them. The fact that the Kochs are fighting so hard to keep their political spending a secret should tell you something. Transparency is a necessary first step if we want to have a government that represents all of us, and not just wealthy donors like the Kochs. The Democracy Is Strengthened by Casting Light On Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act, currently before Congress, would set strict disclosure requirements on any individual or corporation that spends money to influence elections. Disclosure gives voters the information they need to hold secret donors and elected officials accountable. That’s why the Koch brothers and their allies are fighting so hard against it -- and that’s why Congress must immediately pass the DISCLOSE Act.

I have my own religious beliefs but do not think they should be imposed upon other citizens or cost the tax payers. Moreover, God is love and requires us to love our families, neighbors and enemies and we must treat people as we wish to be treated so discrimination is not part of God's plan and HB2 should not be used in the name of religion.

DuPont poisoned thousands of us with C-8, and their irresponsible behavior is finally catching up to them. They've been ordered to pay 5.6 million dollars to David Freeman, who has testicular cancer as a result of their actions. But, DuPont is trying to use corporate tricks to avoid paying what they owe. If they are allowed to merge with Dow, the money will be hidden and we may never get the compensation we are owed. Even though we know they've planned it all out, DuPont hasn't said where the money will go, and until we have the answers, we can't let the merger go through. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is the only one that can stop this. Tell her to step in before it's too late. We can't let them put more people at risk!
