    Why should we pay these fees when we never have ? The industry made more than a billion dollars in 2009 from these unnecessary fees. It's pure profit for something we've had free forever. Delta is the big winner . More than half was Paid to delta!

  • Marital Rape Exemptions are Discriminatory
    More than half of the states in the United States have various laws that don't allow married rape victims to prosecute their spouse for raping them. (For instance in my home state of Washington, if you are married and raped by your spouse, as a married victim you are not allowed to 1) file charges against your husband for raping you if you are disabled and your spouse is your caregiver, or 2) file charges against your spouse if the rape falls within 3rd degree rape guidelines.) Certain states have different statutes of limitations as well, such as requiring significantly shorter reporting times for married persons, while offering much longer time to single rape victims to report having been raped. Those rules are not only discriminatory, but unfair as married persons often require more time to report the crime because often they share children and property with their rapist. Married rape victims not only suffer the additional emotional trauma with regard to how being raped by a spouse is a deeper betrayal of trust, but also have more to consider and more to prepare for with regard to separating themselves and their children from their rapist safely. Shorter reporting times for spousal rape victims are not only discriminatory, but are counter productive as in some cases, these laws force spousal rape victims to choose between reporting the crime or having themselves and their children safely out of the home. Laws or rules that separate rape victims into two groups - married vs unmarried - are discriminatory. Having different laws for each group is discriminatory. Not allowing rape victims equal access to the justice system solely because they are married to the person that raped them, is discriminatory. We are asking that the federal government formally declare this distinction between married and unmarried rape victims, and their resulting selective laws and rules as discriminatory, and force all states bearing these discriminatory laws aimed at rape victims to remove them so ALL victims of rape have the same access to the justice system, reporting requirements, and statute of limitations, regardless of marital status.

  • Stop Drug Price-Gouging
    Private and employer health insurance plans classify prescriptions using tiers to differentiate among generic, brand name and "non-preferred" brand name drugs. Any medication costing more than $600 is automatically placed on a specialty tier that requires patients to pay from 25 to 33 percent or more - rather than a flat rate. For many seniors on a fixed income, these life-saving drugs for everything from cancer to rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis can cost upwards of $1,700 per month. Seniors who can't afford the medication often go without treatment.

  • Shands Jacksonville Medical Center Granted Protection for Medical Mistakes
    Gov. Rick Scott's approval to sheild Shands Jacksonville from malpractice has opponents of the bill who have expressed concern that hospital staff may not perform as carefully as they should if immunity is extended. Victims of medical negligence at hospitals with sovereign immunity will have little or no recourse for covering their damages.This is because medical negligence claims are extremely complex and expensive to litigate. If a claimant must spend $50,000 on expert witnesses to bring the claim, by the time he or she has paid such expenses and lawyers, there is nothing left. As a result, there is no incentive for such victims to bring a claim. I know of no attorneys in Jacksonville who are currently willing to take cases against the doctors at Shands.

  • More $3 fee scams from Bank of America
    Bank of America charges a $3 fee for ATM paper receipts. When you make a check deposit, they scan the check. You can opt for a receipt with the scanned image but will be charged $3 for the receipt. No receipt and you take your chances that the check is properly credited........When you check your BOA account online, you can view images of checks you wrote but not checks you deposited. All that is displayed are the words “deposit ticket” and a number that is the dollar amount of the check. Firstly, you feed checks directly into the ATM – no deposit tickets, no envelopes. Secondly, the check was scanned the moment it is fed into the ATM. If you request paper receipt with check image you can see scaled picture of the face of the check. The digital image is stored in the database and linked to your account. It is just not displayed to you online or on paper statements. …….Online, your account activity does not display any check image, only "deposit ticket" with a number, presumably the amount deposited and nothing else. ………If you need copies of deposited pay checks or to correct an error. BOA will charge you $3 to print each digital image they already have stored in your account. …………If you deposit 5 checks, that is a $15 fee. To charge 25 cents for paper and ink for paper receipts and copies is one thing but to charge $3 PER CHECK IMAGE is an outrage since BOA has set it up that they not display the digital images they already have online or on printed statements for any deposits in order to force to pay this outrageous fee for copies………….Enough is enough. Stop this practice now. Sign the petition.
