Tell the FTC to stop Facebook from buying up more companies until they’ve conducted a thorough in...The FTC’s role is to promote and safeguard competition, and the actions it has allowed by Facebook in recent history has clearly failed that obligation. They have broad legal authority to look into companies using their massive networks to stifle competition, and Facebook clearly fits that description. When Intragram presented a viable competitor to Facebook’s social media presence, they paid $1 billion to acquire them. When WhatsApp began competing against Facebook’s Messenger platform, Facebook spent $19 billion to stamp down on their potential competition. Facebook even developed a program, called Onavo, that uses user data to detect potentially competing services that Facebook users commonly utilize. Outside of the clear privacy concerns, this makes obvious to everyone that Facebook is using their social network to actively copy and undermine any fast-growing competitors. Sign this petition to stand up against using a massive market share to crush competitors, and for a fair and open dialogue about protecting our democracy.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Citizens Against Monopoly

NRA: Pay the Las Vegas shooting victims medical billsVictims may not be able to pay their extreme medical and rehab expenses from this shooting because the NRA & congress are responsible for making billions from gun sales with no real gun control laws. These people should not have to suffer severe financial losses because there is no control over the NRA and it's profit machine.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donnasue Jacobi

BREAKING: Manafort indicted -- now take this actionPaul Manafort, President Trump's ex-campaign chair, was just indicted in Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling. We need to make sure the President can't fire Mueller in retaliation -- which he's already considered doing. Congress must take action IMMEDIATELY to ensure Trump can't interfere in Mueller's investigation. Investigations into criminal enterprises take time -- these are the first, but probably not the last criminal charges filed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's attempts to interfere in our elections, and whether Trump or his associates obstructed justice to cover it up. We must be prepared for anything. Trump has already considered firing Mueller -- which would trigger a constitutional crisis like we haven't seen since Watergate. The indictment of his former campaign chair is sure to trigger another backlash from Trump. Congress must put country over party and act now to protect Mueller's independence, and prevent Trump from firing him. It must send a signal that any interference in the investigation crosses a red line. Right now, senators and representatives are considering bipartisan legislation that would limit President Trump's ability to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller or otherwise interfere with his investigation: the Special Counsel Integrity Act and the Special Counsel Independence Protection Act. We *must* use this moment to make Congress acts and passes these bills into law. Tell your members of Congress to add their names as co-sponsors of the bipartisan legislation to protect Mueller.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Give YMLA What It's Earned & Deserves, A Full & Complete SchoolThe Fort Worth Young Men's Leadership Academy (YMLA) has established an exceptional record of high academic performance. These young men continue to make the grade. Also, YMLA is a 5A school with a successful athletic program. Yet, the FWISD Long Range Master Facilities Plan requires them to share the athletic facility belonging to another school. This would leave YMLA scholars with less than what they currently have, which is very little. YMLA wants to maintain its distinct identity as well. Funds for a long overdue, new school have been allocated in the 2017 Penny Swap/Bond Proposal. Please sign our petition if you agree that the scholars of YMLA deserve, and should be built, a full and complete school or renovate its current campus to include adequate facilities to support a full athletic program in addition to classrooms, labs, music and art departments.164 of 200 SignaturesCreated by YMLA Parents

Investigate the Whitefish Energy contract!Congress must fully investigate and hold public hearings on the massive no-bid contract awarded to the two-employee Montana company Whitefish Energy to rebuild the Puerto Rican power grid devastated by Hurricane Maria. Whitefish Energy is located in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's hometown. The contract also contains troubling provisions that prevent claims against Whitefish for delays AND prevents government entities from "the right to audit or review the cost and profit elements" of the contract. We deserve the answers to why this massive contract was awarded to this tiny company with these strange and troubling clauses.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause
