Provide Affordable Cable Access OptionsWith no competition for Comcast or Direct TV, the costs for services (Internet, Cable TV and Phone) are tremendously high. Time Warner can offer us the same or comparable services for almost HALF of the amount these other companies charge. Vermonters should have the right to this service, and TWC would love to provide it to us.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Hammalian

Open air waves during political campaigns.I do not have cable or TV; I rely on online and radio. There is way too much money in politics; buying ads should not be the only way to get someone's message out during campaigns. Open up the air waves.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marjorie Kramer

Investigate "Unparalleled Evil" of Exxon Climate Change Cover-upThe LA Times investigation found that while senior Exxon researcher Ken Croasdale studied the long-term impact of climate change on the company's operations, Exxon was "crafting a public policy position that sought to downplay the certainty of global warming." Environmental leader Bill McKibben called this cover-up "unparalleled evil." Read the entire report here: http://graphics.latimes.com/exxon-arctic/ According to the Huffington Post: In a letter to Attorney General Lynch, Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.) argue that a probe is needed, to determine whether ExxonMobil broke the law. Lieu and DeSaulnier's request is based on two independent investigations published by Inside Climate News and the Los Angeles Times, which document research conducted by a number of Exxon's senior scientists. Their findings warned of increases in the global temperature as a result of burning fossil fuels. "In this case, Exxon scientists knew about fossil fuels causing global warming and Exxon took internal actions based on its knowledge of climate change," Lieu and DeSaulnier wrote. "Yet Exxon funded and publicly engaged in a campaign to deceive the American people about the known risks of fossil fuels in causing climate change." "If these allegations against Exxon are true then Exxon's actions were immoral," they added. "We request the DOJ to investigate whether ExxonMobil's actions were also illegal."6,327 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Morrill

Facebook: Stop the HateI found a picture on my feed, posted by my own brother, of Elmer Fudd hunting a cartoon President Obama in Arab head dress saying, "Shhh... Be vewy vewy twiet.., I'm hunting Muzwums!!!". Facebook says this doesn't qualify as hate speech on their policy, even though it advocates hunting the President, hunting African Americans and hunting an entire religion. We live in a time when there are mass shootings almost daily and pictures like this do not promote a 'safe and welcoming environment,' which is what Facebook's community standards and their response to my report stated is their intent. This isn't the first time Facebook has been lax on its hate speech and community standards rules, and this needs to stop. Politics isn't the issue here, hate is the issue.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nathaniel Rankin

Tell Pop Secret to Stop Killing Bees!Thanks to your pressure, Pop Weaver has agreed to phase out its use of neonics! [1]. Sign the petition to urge Pop Secret to follow their lead and drop bee-killing pesticides! It’s no secret we love popcorn. In fact, Americans consume more than 16 billion quarts of popcorn each year. But we’re getting more than we bargained for in all those bowls of popcorn: bee-toxic pesticides. Bees are dying at alarming rates, and scientists have identified a group of insecticides called neonicotinoids (“neonics”) as a prime culprit in these drastic population losses. The largest single use of neonicotinoids is as a seed coating for field crops. In fact, researchers estimate that 95-99% of all field corn grown in the U.S. comes from seed coated with bee-toxic neonic chemicals. Unfortunately, the popcorn industry uses bee-killing chemicals on their seeds, too. That’s why we’re calling on Pop Secret, one of the biggest brands in the industry, to urge them to source their popcorn from seeds that are NOT coated in these harmful chemicals. Neonics are the most widely used insecticides in the world, and are a class of systemic chemicals, meaning they are dispersed throughout the treated plant, rendering the whole plant toxic. Just as alarming, neonics can last in the environment for years and they can harm species that the chemical was not designed to kill -- like bees, butterflies, birds, and entire food chains. As one of the largest popcorn brands in the U.S., Pop Secret can make a big difference for bees by joining Pop Weaver in phasing out their use of neonic-coated seeds. ---------------------------------- References: 1. http://www.popweaver.com/news/2015-10-21Neonics%20Statement.pdf#zoom=66.735,747 of 40,000 SignaturesCreated by Center for Food Safety
