Vote "NO" on Fast TrackPresident Obama is selling our Democracy to the multinational corporations. If they pass the TPP, we will no longer be able to get generic medicines. They will extend the Pharma patents so that only the Brand Name will be available (at 10-15 times the price!) If they pass the TPP, even ordinary sharing of articles and pictures on the internet will be illegal with the new copyright laws. It will force ISPs to police us with a 3 strikes, and your off the internet. Our laws, both local and national will be superceded by the TPP rules that say that if our laws interfere with any corporate expected profits, the corporation can sue us, the citizens for their loss. This suit will be heard in a separate corporate tribunal manned with corporate lawyers, and their decisions will be final...no appeal. If the TPP passes, we will have to accept foodstuffs from all countries who sign without any trade barriers. This means that even if we have food safety laws, they will have no effect if the exporting country's laws don't live up to ours. Getting it now? The multinational corporations are racing to get global control even over our governments. Why are our governments selling us out? Ask them, but if you ask me, I think it's because they are mostly bought and paid for.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia Doyle

WE DEMAND "TPP TRANSPARENCY NOW" Protect your jobThe Trans Pacific Partnership is the largest power grab by Corporations, Wall Street, and the Opulent in the history of the United States of America, and it is the most destructive, and damaging. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) has seen some of the proposals contained within the TPP, and he said it is "a punch in the face to the middle class of America ... but I'm not allowed to tell you why". "THIS IS NOT TRANSPARENCY" We American people deserve better than this, we deserve to know the truth concerning all aspects of our government! This is a back-door deal, and a blatant betrayal to the American People. We demand "HONESTY" and "TRANSPARENCY NOW" President Obama "DO NOT DO THIS" without direct involvement, and approval by the American People. You were voted into the office of the Presidency in good faith, you promised transparency, and inclusion during your service to the American People! Once again; "PRESIDENT OBAMA DO NOT DO THIS, STOP THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP NOW" "WE DEMAND YOUR FULL ALLEGIANCE TO THE USA" Sincerely yours; AMERICAN CITIZENS c/o AGG, trickledowncampaigning.com35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andy Garcia

Pledge to stop Fast Track of TPPFast track Legislation to approve the TPP has been introduced in Congress. This bill is officially called "The Bipartisan Trade Priorities Act of 2014". If we are to maintain any semblance of Sovereignty and Democracy in America it is imperative that we defeat this legislation. The TPP is a massive trade agreement that has been characterized as being a corporate coup. In essence it places the rights of international corporations above the rights of the American people. Under our Constitution the states legislate state laws and Congress legislates Federal Law, which takes precedence over State Law. With the TPP Federal Law will now be subservient to rules promulgated by the TPP and interpreted not by American courts but by International tribunals controlled by corporations. No longer will be be able to say what our labor laws, environmental laws, health regulations, financial regulations, copyright laws, consumer laws and Agricultural regulations are, they will determined by this trade pack and adjudicated by these foreign, corporate controlled, tribunals. The Obama administration along with Major corporations that control hugh piles of money will be pushing hard for this fast track legislation. Elections are coming up this year, as normal citizens we only have our vote to counter the flood of corporate cash. Make your vote count by taking the pledge.

Ask US congress to reduce or stop military AID to countries accused of violating of human rightsWhile work class Americans struggle in a weak economy; our tax dollars are being used to support the regimes of Israel, Morocco and Indonesia to commit serious violations of human rights in the occupied territories in Palestine, the illegally occupied territory of Western Sahara and in the illegally annexed province of West Papua, by Israel, Morocco and Indonesia. Any US AID should be conditioned to the recipient country to have clean records on human rights, democracy and respect for international laws. Aren't we Americans a nation of people who love freedom, democracy and human rights? So why our government spend American tax dollars on countries who have an opposite position based on their records, than that of us as a nation on those important matters? As a nation, we like to present ourselves as democratic and freedom loving nation to the world, our foreign politic say otherwise completely different.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jose A Gongora

Protect the Minorities from Ongoing Mayhem in BangladeshBangladeshi Minorities have been going through a systematic ethnic cleansing cycle since 1947. The minority population has dropped from 28% in 1941 to 8% in 2013. Right after the national election held in January 5th, 2014, many Bangladeshi Hindus are murdered, raped and tortured for petty political and religious bias. Bangladesh has failed badly to protect the minorities when they are the most vulnerable. As US citizens, we are urging our President, Governors, Congress and Senate leaders to take this human right violation as a serious failure of Bangladesh. The minorities of Bangladesh should be allowed to live peacefully and safely with others.

Mike Lee: Don't Blow Up U.S. Diplomacy with IranThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee says on its web site that Utah Senator Mike Lee has pledged to support the Iran sanctions bill introduced by Robert Menendez. But Senator Lee has not co-sponsored the bill yet. U.S. intelligence agencies say that new sanctions now will blow up U.S. diplomacy with Iran, putting us on a path to war. Urge Senator Lee to oppose the Menendez bill and to oppose efforts to blow up U.S. diplomacy with Iran.3,864 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naiman

Don't let Congress scuttle Iran diplomacyWe should all be concerned about the attempt to pass measures which could skuttle diplomatic negotiations with Iran and bring us closer to another disasterous Middle East war. Senate bill 1881 violates the recent US agreement with Iran, and pledges support for Israel if it attacks. The house will consider unrealistic demands which will also destroy the very negotiations that could provide real nuclear security. Let our congress members know that we want them to support diplomacy and prevent another costly war.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nina McLellan

Brown, Sanders: Make the 1% Pay for the Iran WarThe failure of the "Grand Bargain" - the proposal to cut Social Security benefits and raise taxes to protect the Pentagon budget from cuts - shows that Washington can be made to do the right thing if the choices are framed correctly. It turned out that the 1% preferred cutting the Pentagon budget to having their taxes raised. Chuck Schumer and Robert Menendez are trying to blow up the President's diplomacy with Iran by pushing for a Senate vote on new sanctions. If Schumer and Menendez blow up diplomacy, the only thing left on the menu in the restaurant will be war. Before the Senate votes on the Schumer-Menendez bill, the Senate should tell us who is going to pay for the war. Urge economic populists Sherrod Brown and Bernie Sanders to introduce Senate legislation saying that if the U.S. goes to war with Iran, the top 1% of the income distribution should have their taxes increased to pay for the financial cost of the war.8,389 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naiman
