This petition is about getting justice for people directly affected by racism. Racism should not be acceptable as dialogue disguised as a news story. I suppose the only way I am affected is that I have been watching the eroding standards of journalism for the last 40 years and I don't like in my face racist rantings especially disguised as news dialogue.

Fox News groups often report news involving minority victims with blame and malice. Reports are biased, unethical, unbalanced, and often times, inaccurate. News from Fox News Network, Fox Business Network and FX Productions need to offer the same compassion with minority victims as non minority victims.

Governor Nikki Haley recently stated that no corporation has asked for the Confederate flag, our nation's swastika, to be removed from government buildings. Hate symbols from the Holocaust including the Nazi Swastika are banned in many countries including Germany. BMW must divest from South Carolina until the Confederate flag is removed from all government entities in its state. To quote Albert Einstein, "If I were to remain silent, I’d be guilty of complicity."

WAR SHOULD not be big business

Media should NOT be in the business of choosing the party nominee for President. Senator Bernie Sanders deserved equal air time to Secretary Hillary Clinton. As Sanders surges in the polls, it grows increasingly discordant that CNN news programming focuses almost solely on Hillary Clinton's campaign. Please join us in demanding CNN do its job.

Your life and the lives of everyone who commutes using the roads in America could be at risk. Due to negligent work performed on my vehicle by National Tire & Battery (NTB), I could be DEAD. After going to NTB for a simple wheel alignment, the front, right passenger side of my car buckled while driving. Thank God it did not buckle while moving at 65mph on the expressway, but having your entire wheel to buckle while moving at any speed is dangerous. After the incident happened, I called NTB to inform them of this horrific experience. The NTB employee who actually serviced my car claimed I was not in his system as a "recent" customer. That, I had not been to NTB for many years! Therefore, I went to the store in person, to look this liar straight in the eyes. Even still, this grinning, and lying NTB employee denied it; and he denied it all with a calm, but devious smirk on his face. The police had to be called to the store, (by me) and I was then provided with a number to call in order to make a complaint. I called the number to complain, and nothing was done. I then called the local store again, and was provided with another number to call for a refund. It was eventually acknowledged that I HAD been a recent customer for a wheel alignment. (After MANY, MANY LIES, showing of receipts, and a call to the authorities.) After my death defying experience with NTB, I decided to do some research on this organization. What I learned was that my horrific experience with NTB was not an isolated incident; (as they tried to lead me to believe) that many others had very similar experiences. Even friends of mines knew NEVER to go to NTB for ANYTHING! Not even to take shelter from the rain! So, why was it that I did not know this? I didn't know because I had not done my research. At this point, I knew it was time to take action. If I didn't know, many others probably did not know either. Also, the next customer's car to be negligently serviced by NTB, may not live to tell about it. So, a social media page entitled: "NTB SUCKS" was created. Now, customers who were harmed by NTB had a place to come and share their experiences, or better yet to warn others; and that is exactly what we do. Now, instead of performing a massive internet search looking for NTB reviews, there's a centralized, easily found page on Facebook. This makes research easy. We do our very best to prevent others from having to experience the same kind of pain we all had to endure. Just in case you have never heard of NTB, let me provide you with some background information. National Tire & Battery is a chain retail store that provides automotive services, and is owned by the "TBC Corporation". NTB has had numerous customer complaints regarding: hiring non-certified & inexperienced auto mechanics to service vehicles while hiding behind their business name; improperly installing automobile parts causing severe damage to vehicles; or, not installing the paid for parts at all; selling services such as oil changes, and tire rotations, not providing the customer with the services paid for; using “scare tactics” and lies to sell unneeded auto parts; over or double charging customers especially women, young adults, and the elderly; bullying customers; & refusing to honor warranties sold by their organization. These are only the complaints which show a pattern, there are other grievances not mentioned above as well. NTB’s poor workmanship, and cutting corners in order to make that extra dollar places lives in danger. Not just your life, but everyone with or around you is at risk. If your tire falls off your car while you are moving at 65mph, think about whom else this could harm. When NTB is directly contacted regarding an issue, they generate more lies, giving the infinite runaround, leaving you with a damaged vehicle. Sometimes, NTB will provide a refund for the negligent work provided after weeks or months of jumping through their hoops, but in many cases (like mines), a refund may not be enough due to the damages NTB has caused. Due to their negligence, the customer has to hire a real certified mechanic to repair possibly thousands of dollars in damages NTB has caused. Sadly enough, even NTB employees are unhappy with NTB. They are well aware of how NTB operates as an organization, and many of them do not agree with what is being done to the customers; or, how they are being asked to participate in the dishonesty. They especially don't like being cheated out of their salary, but because they need work they stay until they can find something better. On the other hand, some NTB employees take pleasure in cheating unsuspecting customers. Therefore, we are here to FINALLY take a stand. It is time for NTB to change their corrupt standardized business methods and practices. So, please sign our petition helping us to stop this organization from being the cause of someone's death. You just might be helping to save your own life. Also, please be aware that the "TBC Corporation" owns more than just NTB. They also own: 1) Carroll Tire Service 2) Midas 3) Big O Tires 4) Tire Kingdom International 5) Merchants Tire & Auto 6) Treadways 7) R.O Writer, and 8) SpeeDee Oil Change & Tune Up Unfortunately, I’m sure that TBC runs all of their companies under the same unethical practices, so shop wisely.

Last year, it was Burger King. Now, it's Monsanto. The agribusiness giant Monsanto is considering a plan to buy Syngenta, a European agrochemical company. (1) The move would allow it to declare itself a foreign company for tax purposes. If Monsanto does indeed renounce their status as a U.S- based company, it will mean they will be taxed at a much lower rate than American-based companies, in a scheme that is referred to as "corporate inversion." The crazy thing is, they don't actually have to move their CEO or any of their central offices, they can just claim on paper to be headquartered in the UK, much in the way that Burger King is now, on paper a Canadian company. It would also allow Monsanto to permanently avoid paying taxes on the $4.4 billion of profits it has reported as holding offshore. According to the Center for Effective Government, "Monsanto could owe as much as $1.5 billion in U.S. taxes on these offshore profits, an amount that could be permanently avoided if the new company engages in complex legal and tax transactions following an inversion." (2) We can't let big corporations continue to dodge taxes with high-paid tax lawyers -- everyone should play by the same rules. How can we invest in education or job growth if large, profitable companies are scheming to avoid paying their fair share? We hear a lot of talk about how Congress wants to help the middle class. Well, they can start by stopping the biggest companies from playing a rigged game and passing the Stop Corporate Inversions Act right now, which would save us $34 billion over the next decade. (3) Sen. Barbara Mikulski has supported closing the inversion loophole in the past, but she is not on record in support of the version of the bill. If enough people weigh in, I'm confident we can add her as a supporter. 1. http://goo.gl/eEMZqV 2. http://goo.gl/BjGSaq 3. http://goo.gl/psrmNp

Workers at the Lear Corporation plant in Selma, AL, make foam seat cushions for Hyundai. These workers—most of whom make $12.25 an hour or less—use dangerous chemicals, called isocyanates, which are known to cause asthma and related respiratory problems. There is evidence that one of the chemicals used in the plant, an isocyanate called TDI, may also cause cancer. Despite numerous efforts by workers to address these health and safety issues with plant management, workers and even the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) say there is still cause for concern. Hyundai has the power and the responsibility to require Lear to make the necessary investments to ensure good, safe, fair working conditions in Selma. Hyundai’s own corporate social responsibility policies acknowledge that its obligations extend to the companies in its supply chain.
