  • Stop Negative Politician Commercials
    Politician commercials that focus on negativity are excessive as elections get closer and are created to be dramatic and misleading, rather than accurately inform about a candidate. The trend of increasing ads has also created the necessity to have millions of dollars to run for office and discredit an opponent, allowing only wealthy candidates to have a chance of winning.

  • Support New Mexico's Small Businesses - Move our State's Money
    It is time for New Mexico to take its money out of Wells Fargo and deposit it with our local community banks and credit unions: the institutions that support our local economies statewide. We can make a big difference in our local economy by keeping our money in New Mexico for the benefit of New Mexico's small businesses. It is time to stop sending our state's money to Wall Street and overseas; keeping it in New Mexico is the right thing to do.

  • Save Maine's Mandated Health Insurance Benefits
    EVERY mandate in Maine was written by legislators in the past because an insurance company refused to cover an essential service. LD 882 is a bill that will eliminate dozens of mandated health insurance benefits, and jobs too. We must stop this bill in the House & Senate next week. To do this, we need you! Please make your voice heard by signing this petition (and contacting your state rep & senator this weekend) to stop legislation that only benefits insurance companies. For a full list of the Maine Mandated Health Insurance Benefits, visit: http://www.maine.gov/pfr/insurance/consumer/mandated_benefits.htm
