  • 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.

  • B of A Stadium inappropriate venue for Obama acceptance speech
    It has been announced that President Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention will be given at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Considering the image of Wall Street, and B of A in particular, as the criminals who got us into this economic mess, we insist that this venue is inappropriate and should be changed.

  • 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

  • Stop SOPA From Destroying the Internet
    SOPA is threatening the internet as we know it. Sites that support any form of file sharing such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and even joke websites such as FunnyJunk, MemeBase, and 9Gag will all be blacked out if SOPA is passed. SOPA will destroy the internet, not only for Americans, but for the world and for anyone on this planet with a computer. America doesn't own the internet, no one country does, and SOPA is arrogant to think that we can control a global research and networking device. If SOPA is passed, the world will suffer from it. We cant force our laws on the entire planet, let alone something as infinite and beautiful as the internet. Please don't let SOPA ruin the internet for the world. You have the power to stop them.
