Comcast lobbyist David Cohen says he hasn't heard any "rational, knowledgeable voices" objecting ...You'd think Comcast super-lobbyist David Cohen might show some class. Maybe he'd even be humble knowing that 52 percent of Americans think Comcast's merger with Time Warner is a bad idea. Instead, Cohen says he hasn’t heard any “rational, knowledgeable voices” opposed to the merger. So much for humble. Let's tell David Cohen that millions of very knowledgeable, very rational people oppose this merger. It’s rational to oppose giving Comcast an untold amount of market power. And it's rational to be worried about the implications this merger has for privacy, freedom of speech, and the open Internet. And we remember when Comcast got busted for violating Net Neutrality--which makes us pretty knowledgeable. We know about their data caps and their plans for complete media domination. And we also know Comcast was just voted the worst company in America! Let's wipe that smirk off Cohen's face. Just add your name to our letter to Comcast's top lobbyist, David Cohen. We'll pass on your very knowledgeable and rational message that this merger is awful.140 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Demand Progress

Sign the petition: Urge the DOJ to investigate new Florida voting rule which closes all restrooms...Remember how bad the voter lines were on Election Day in 2012? In Florida, some stayed in line for over six hours. And now, they won’t be able to use the bathroom. The Miami-Dade County Elections Department has quietly implemented a policy to close the bathrooms at all polling facilities. Voters would have to choose between voting, or using the bathroom. Make no mistake about it. This is a political scheme to depress voter turnout in a heavily Democratic county, and it’s also probably illegal for violating basic disability law. Sign the petition: Urge U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate this new Florida voting rule which closes all restrooms at polling places on Election Day.11,486 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hogarth

Protect Waipiʻo ValleyMany Hawaiians trace their genealogy to Waipiʻo, valley of the kings and once the hub of ancient Hawaiian civilization. As people who love the land we owe it to the ʻāina, to the kūpuna and to the ʻōpio to protect Waipiʻo, one of the last functioning cultural kīpuka and an invaluable seed bank to revitalize traditional Hawaiian practices and traditions.4,215 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Protect Waipiʻo Valley

Label GMO Foods.People close to me have problems aggravated by certain GMO crops, but they can currently never know if these are in the food they eat. Once in the environment, genetic modifications spread and infect other crops, plants or animals by cross-breeding. Side effects are predictable but commonly ignored by industry. Public knowledge of the scope of the changes of the past two or three years, and of the harm already done, is very limited. This begins to address that knowledge gap.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. Nicholas R. White

Leave Sunday Parking Meter Enforcement AloneAir pollution caused by traffic congestion contributes to asthma attacks, especially for kids, increases the probability of cancer, increases the probability of heart disease, and increases the probability of premature death. The World Health Organization categorizes air pollution, including that from cars, as a carcinogen just like cigarette smoke. Parking meter enforcement on Sundays is proven to reduce traffic congestion because drivers are spending only 2 minutes circling, looking for parking instead of 4 minutes or more when Sunday meters were not enforced. See: http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/04/01/reiskin-lets-keep-sunday-parking-meters-but-not-enforce-them/ http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/01/16/mayor-lees-spineless-sunday-meter-reversal-bad-for-business-bad-for-sf/48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Whitaker

The Jason and Philip ActIn 2003 on December 27th my brother Jason "JJ" Jaco and uncle Philip "Butch" Mocalis, Jr. were killed instantly by a female truck driver who suffured with schizophrenia and had not been taking her medicine Haldol, she had a hallucination stating cars cut her off which bystanders and witnesses stated that there were no other vehicles around. The driver was only charged with two counts of manslaughter (A slap on the wrist) and had her license taken away for any driving jobs in California, so she moved to Nevada and got a driving job for a school bus full of kids. When someone gets their driving privileges taken away for any driving jobs it should be nation wide not just the state it happened in. This is not right too many people are losing their loved ones to truck drivers and not getting compensated for their loss. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, NO MORE!!!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cherice Novo
