  • Hey Bill Maher, Flip Rep. Coffman
    Republican Mike Coffman is running for reelection in one of the closest races in the country. With the race so close, it's unbelievable how Rep. Coffman is trying to rewrite history and rebrand himself as an immigration reform champion so he can appeal to the growing Latino voters in his district. Luckily, HBO's Bill Maher has launched a "Flip A District" campaign calling out the worst member of Congress, and he's donating a huge amount of money to help unseat the "winner" in November. If he picks Rep. Coffman, it'll send a strong message to national Republicans that hypocrisy on immigration reform won’t be tolerated. Please sign this petition. We've only have a few days and we want to deliver as many signatures as possible to convince Bill Maher he should pick Mike Coffman for his flip a district campaign.

  • Senator Murkowski - Vote YES on Citizens United Repeal
    Because we all deserve better. Our democracy should not be for sale and elections should not simply go to the highest bidder. Overturning Citizens United is one step, but a big step, toward stemming the influence of money in politics.

  • Overturn Citizens United
    Now is the time for Senator Ted Cruz to represent his constituents and not mega-rich out of state donors. If he is serious about combating corruption, he should co-sponsor and help win support for a constitutional amendment in this session. A strong vote in the U.S. Senate will help grow and build the movement to overturn the disastrous Citizens United and McCutcheon rulings, take democracy off the auction block, and preserve constitutional rights for people — not corporations.

  • The Battle for the Net
    We are writing to urge you to implement strong and unambiguous net neutrality rules that protect the Internet from discrimination and other practices that will impede its ability to serve our democracy, empower consumers, and fuel economic growth. Erecting toll booths or designating fast lanes on the information superhighway would stifle free speech, limit consumer choice, and thwart innovation. The FCC must act in a clear and decisive way to ensure the Internet does not become the bastion of powerful incumbents and carriers, but rather remains a place where all speakers, creators, and innovators can harness its power now and in the future. The Internet is a staple of our lives and our economy. The FCC should protect access to the Internet under a Title II framework, with appropriate forbearance, thereby ensuring greater regulatory and market certainty for users and broadband providers. To ensure that the Internet fulfills its promise of being a powerful, open platform for social, political, and economic life, the FCC must adopt a rule against blocking, a bright-line rule against application-specific discrimination, and a rule banning access fees. These principles of fairness and openness should not only apply to the so-called last-mile network, but also at points of interconnection to the broadband access provider’s network. Likewise, strong net neutrality rules must apply regardless of whether users access the Internet on fixed or mobile connections. The FCC’s proposed rules would be a significant departure from how the Internet currently works, limiting the economic and expressive opportunity it provides. Investors, entrepreneurs, and employees have invested in businesses based on the certainty of a level playing field and equal-opportunity marketplace. The proposal would threaten those investments and undermine the necessary certainty that businesses and investors need going forward. The current proposed rules, albeit well-meaning, would be far-reaching. Erecting new barriers to entry would result in fewer innovative startups, fewer micro-entrepreneurs, and fewer diverse voices in the public quare. The FCC should abandon its current proposal and adopt a simple rule that reflects the essential values of our free markets, our participatory democracy, and our communications laws. When the history of the Internet is written, 2014 will be remembered as a defining moment. This FCC will be remembered either for handing the Internet over to the highest bidders or for ensuring that the conditions of Internet openness remain for the next generation of American entrepreneurs and citizens. We urge you to take bold and unequivocal action that will protect the open Internet and the opportunity it affords for innovation, economic development, communication, and democracy itself.

  • VOTE OR PAY THE FINE
    Get out the Vote! In Australia this type of law has been standard for many years. We need it in the USA more than ever because we often elect our representatives with less than twenty per cent voting.

  • End the Electoral College
    The Electoral College has failed to guarantee the election of the President of the United States elected by the people. Ending it and electing presidents by popular vote in the future will provide for a president that is truly elected by the people.

  • Do you stand for Democracy for All?
    The U.S. Senate just voted 79-18 to advance Senate Joint Resolution 19, the Democracy for All constitutional amendment that would overturn Citizens United, to a vote on Thursday! This is a momentous opportunity to get Senators on record whether or not they think money is speech. SJR 19 would make history if a majority of the Senate votes for it, even if it doesn’t get the 2/3 needed to pass. Plus, it will show exactly which senators stand with voters -- and which stand with the wealthy interests who want to buy elections with unlimited money. Sign the petition now and share it with your friends after you do!

  • Rep. Denham: Stop corporate tax treason
    Right now, a corporation can dodge billions in taxes just by buying a company in another country, then claiming to be headquartered there. It's known as an "inversion" and it's just another way big companies can avoid paying their fair share. Today it's Burger King, but there are a lot more companies lining up behind them. Last month, public pressure stopped Walgreens from moving abroad. Over the last few weeks, we have put Burger King on notice about their move to Canada. Now it's time we close this loophole altogether. It's time to plug the loophole and stop companies from leaving and forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. We can't let big corporations continue to dodge taxes with highly 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 have a real opportunity to close this loophole right now--but we've got to strike while the iron is hot. With all the scrutiny being paid to this issue while Burger King is in the process of declaring itself a Canadian company, we can push lawmakers to take up the issue. So far, Rep. Jeff Denham hasn't signed on in support of this commonsense idea--that's why we need people like you to take action.
