Last November 9, UC Berkeley students, staff and faculty tried to set up a small encampment on campus, in solidarity with the then-burgeoning Occupy movement and in opposition to the ongoing privatization of the UC. Campus police and Alameda County Sheriffs viciously beat the students in order to stop the tents from going up. Now, nearly four months after the fact, 13 people are being charged with misdemeanors for the events of November 9, even though most of them were never arrested.

Apple can lead the way in corporate patriotism by bringing the dollars made selling products to Americans back to America in the form of jobs. Apple can set the standard for companies that accumulate great wealth from selling products in the US and actually produce some of the products with an American work force. We love Apple for being user-friendly, and it can be US-friendly, too. Nice tribute- jobs for Jobs

A constitutional amendment to eliminate or limit money for campaign financing. Average Americans have no power to affect the outcome of political campaigns or to stop negative campaign advertisements when super-rich individuals, corporations, and special interest groups can donate unlimited amounts to PACs.

The Patriot Act is clearly in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution and the courts refuse to even hear any case that challenges its constitutionality. The Patriot Act needs to be allowed to expire as it was intended.

This petition is designed to rid the American people of career politicians who further their own interests by voting for themselves the things they will not grant to the very people who placed them in office. It is imperitive that all Americans unite and put pressure for reform on congress.

Congress doubled the percentage rate on student loans. If you are a student or a parent of a student, and have to take loans out for education, this affects you! I am calling on everyone to stand up and stop the interest raise on student loans.

Students of many private colleges may have their Cal Grant reduce by the Governor of California in the upcoming budget cut, but Governor I am concern about students' future and the opportunities to achieve a good education at the University of Redlands and other universities. Please do not deprive them of what will make this nation a productive and progressive place.

Water is necessary to all living things. Recently, bottling companies such as Coke, Pepsi and Nestle have attempted to manipulate water sources needed for municipal drinking, irrigation and natural habitat preservation to their own ends:profit. Not only are the plastic bottles showing up on the bottom of the Pacific ocean and in sea creatures' digestive systems, but the bottlers are also sidestepping FDA regulations by bottling and distributing within state boundries, thus eliminating the oversight of the FDA, which only regulates federal, i.e. interstate products. People have been fooled into thinking that bottled water is superior in quality to that of their local municipality, whose water sources are tested daily by the EPA. Often that same "inferior" water is bottled and then sold back to consumers at a huge mark up. Bottlers have fought against disclosing their sources, and continue to profit off consumer fear and misinformation.

It should be illegal for an employer to screen any employee, or employment applicants credit report, and base their employment or potential employment on that score. This discrimination is a large part of what is keeping the unemployment rate at high levels.
