Stop Charging Poor People for Being PoorWhy is it that having less than a certain balance in your bank account means you get charged? Why is it that the less money you have, the more you get charged for not having much money? It seems wrong to me. If nothing else, just from the simple logical perspective, one should not be expected to pay money in order to keep their money in the bank if doing so will "break the bank" so to speak. I've been in this position many times. It is unjust. It simply keeps poor people poor and does not afford anyone in this position the opportunity to save money and change their financial situation. It also encourages people to keep what little money they have out of banks and credit unions altogether in order to be able to use all of it rather than losing $10 a month to maintenance fees (which is a great deal when one has less than $200 in the bank). Keeping cash on hand is also less secure because of the possibility of loss through accident, fire and flood, and theft.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bria Bonet

TELL AMERICAN EXPRESS: DUMP TRUMP HOTELSDonald Trump has officially entered the 2016 presidential race and will be vying for the Republican party's nomination. Since announcing, Donald Trump has attacked Mexican immigrants as " rapists" and "killers." Following these attacks, Univision announced that it was ending its partnership with Donald Trump and would not air Miss USA pageant. NBC later followed suit announcing that it was severing all ties with Donald Trump. In its statement, NBC made it clear that Donald Trump's brand of bigoted bullying is simply inconsistent with the values that NBC represents. However, American Express has an even stronger relationship with Trump than NBC. It's time for American Express to follow Univision, NBC, and Macy's lead and finally dump Trump.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by chris

Tell the FEC and IRS: Investigate the NRA for Violations of Federal LawThe NRA should be transparent about the millions of dollars it is spending on political activities. It should not be dismissive about failing to disclose this substantial political spending on its tax forms. If the NRA refuses to abide by the law, then it is necessary for the proper authorities to hold the NRA accountable.252 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ladd Everitt

SEC Should Demand Full Disclosure of Walmart's Offshore Subsidiaries in Tax HavensWalmart has built a vast, undisclosed network of 78 subsidiaries and branches in 15 overseas tax havens. These may be used to minimize foreign taxes where Walmart has retail operations and to avoid U.S. taxes on those foreign earnings. These tax-haven subsidiaries have remained largely invisible, in part because Walmart does not list them in its annual 10-K filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ask Mary Jo White, SEC Chair, to demand full disclosure of Walmart's offshore subsidiaries in tax havens and how much Walmart may be avoiding in taxes.1,685 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Americans for Tax Fairness

NBC Fire Chuck ToddThis 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.471 of 500 SignaturesCreated by JMW

Malicious, Unbalanced, and Unethical journalismFox 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.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tiffany Willis

We demand that BMW divest from South Carolina until the Confederate Flag is removed from all Gove...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."596 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Steven Abrams
