• Senator Berryhill: Please Vote "Yes" on the California DISCLOSE Act!
    AB 700 will strike the biggest blow yet against the unlimited secret money unleashed by Citizens United. It requires ads about ballot measures -- and ads about candidates by outside groups like SuperPACs -- to clearly and prominently disclose their top 3 true funders, right on the ads themselves. With more secretive big money than ever poised to be spent in California's election, we must pass AB 700 now. AB 700 faces its final vote on Tuesday, August 30th. Please sign and share this petition to Senator Berryhill asking him to vote “Yes”!

  • Stop the GOP from shutting down Clinton Global Foundation
    The thought that the foundation and its work could be stopped or distracted or simply altered scares the hell out of me. My family in Malawi bears testament to the good of America. We don't care if Clinton is Democrat or Republican; we know it's the Americans good again

  • Stop Cal-Am Inc. from Evicting 400 home park residences.
    We, over 1200 residents of Heritage Village Manufactured Home Park in Beaverton, Oregon, are being unconscionably forced from our homes so that Property Managers can generate more profit by leveling our structures and replacing them with new homes. Many of us are disabled, elderly on fixed incomes or otherwise unable to upgrade our properties within the 30 day time period demanded by unscrupulous management. We agree that beautification efforts are a plus and do support community improvements, however, terminations for house colors, picket fencing, faded posts, firewood placement, etc is not only wrong but is harassing and exposes the worst aspects of business greed.

  • ALEC is bad for our democracy. It’s time for Enterprise to drive away from ALEC!
    Enterprise, the largest rental car company in the United States, is a funder and member of ALEC -- the shadowy corporate lobbying group that is weakening our democracy while pretending to be a charity. ALEC works behind closed doors to help big corporations like Exxon Mobil, Comcast, Pfizer, & Koch Industries secretly lobby politicians for favorable treatment. Ordinary voters and everyday Americans’ voices are being shut out of the process; whether it's big oil or big tobacco, corporations should not be able to get a tax write-off for funding a lobbying organization that lets corporations have the same say on “model” bills as lawmakers. We all pay the price with more pollution, lower wages, higher medical bills, and cuts to public schools when ALEC’s corporate-backed “model bills” undermine environmental protections, access to healthcare, workers’ rights, and public education funding. It’s a system that undermines our democracy, putting wealthy special interests above the American people. It’s surprising that Enterprise is funding ALEC, given that over 100 major companies like Google, Coca-Cola, Facebook, General Motors, Expedia, and Ford Motor Company have all left ALEC in recent years, due to its extreme agenda and the fact that ALEC is committing tax fraud as it works as a lobbying group but is registered as charity. That means corporations like Enterprise can get a tax write-off for their funding to ALEC. Our democracy should belong to all of us, not just wealthy special interests at ALEC. That’s why Enterprise needs to join over 100 other major companies and stop funding ALEC’s dangerous corporate-funded political agenda and anti-democratic activities.

  • Enterprise: Drive away from ALEC
    Enterprise, the largest car rental company in the world, was recently revealed by the Center for Media and Democracy and the Guardian to be a dues-paying member of the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC helps right-wing lawmakers fulfill corporate wishlists on a variety of topics that undermine American health and safety – including spreading climate change denial and blocking climate solutions. Enterprise makes “green” commitments to plant trees and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in public but funds ALEC in private. Enterprise must cut ties with ALEC immediately.

  • Stop Immoral Price Gouging for Life-Saving EpiPen
    *UPDATE: The company’s “solution” in the face of overwhelming public outcry is to offer more coupons. But it has not lowered the price ONE CENT. So keep the pressure up!* Millions of children and adults in the U.S. are at risk of fatal allergic reactions from common occurrences like getting stung by a bee or accidentally consuming peanuts. A pocket-sized medical device called an EpiPen can be a literal life-saver for these folks. But Mylan — the multinational pharmaceutical company that makes the EpiPen — has been steadily jacking up the price. - In 2007, the wholesale price on an EpiPen in the U.S. was $57. - Today, just nine years later, it’s over $300. - Even though each EpiPen contains only a few dollars’ worth of medicine. - Even though a two-pack is just $85 in France. - And even though Mylan, which has a near monopoly in the U.S., has seen its profits from the EpiPen alone skyrocket to $1.2 billion a year. Now, many people who could actually die without an EpiPen can’t afford one! Tell Mylan CEO Heather Bresch to immediately reduce the price of this life-and-death treatment that so many people depend on.

  • Tell Mifflin County (PA) Commissioner to resign for bigoted posts
    Mifflin County Commissioner Lisa Nancollas (Republican) was caught posting bigoted Facebook posts on her campaign site. She has since taken them down, but they are available on news sites, including her hometown paper (http://lewistownsentinel.com/page/content.detail/id/588669/Facebook-post-stirs-controversy.html?nav=5010). She still has anti-Islam posts on her personal Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/mifflincountyteaparty?ref=br_rs). The first post was a meme — an image, often with text, meant to be spread widely through the internet — of a mosque with a red “no” symbol covering it. It also said “No Islam Allowed.” The commissioner followed the post with a message for anyone following her page. “If you don’t like what I post on my wall then don’t look at my wall,” the second post said. “Also, I believe in the Christian God. I don’t believe in Islam, sharia law nor do I believe in Allah.” She said people “are only allowed in the kingdom of God if they accept God as their savior not Allah,” in a third post. She has since deleted the meme but has continued posting about Islam.
