To: Move-On
End Corporate Control by Uniting Progressive Groups
By signing this petition I am calling on Move-On to:
1) Take the lead by committing all effort, all lobbying dollars to one cause and one message on their website, End Corporate Influence in All It's Forms.
2) Drop involvement in all other issues and focus on this one issue recognizing that corporate influence is at the core of most societal problems.
3) Organize all other progressive organizations to follow Move-On's lead thereby creating a united, well funded, single minded focus that has real clout.
Change can be accomplished through the pooling of resources and effort AND mounting a lobbying campaign to end all lobbying! Tremendous leverage and media coverage can be created this way. Move-On members can play an enormous role in their home states organizing and working with their congressmen. Having one focus across the board will create real leverage. At present efforts are too scattered. Call on Move-On to lead the charge!

Why is this important?
Visit the website of any organization fighting for social and environmental causes and you will see numerous issues represented. Most if not all of those issues were caused by very large corporations wielding enormous power irresponsibly. The current financial woes of state and municipal governments, unemployed and under employed workers, the foreclosure crisis, all can be traced back to the corporations behind the 2008 financial debacle.
Corporate power must be reined in. An occasional skirmish may be won here and there but over all we, the people, are losing the battle, BUT with focus we can win! Imagine the power created if every progressive organization from Rainforest Action Network, to the AFL-CIO to Greenpeace to Audubon and there are hundreds more, unified behind one message, one issue on their websites and all lobbying dollars focused to one purpose: End Corporate Control of Our Banking Industry, Our Government, Our Healthcare System our Elections.
Move-On is THE organization to unify progressive organizations with this one focus. Eliminating the control corporations have is akin to fixing the leaking roof which is our system, of issue after issue, leak after leak. Unless we put this first eventually the roof will collapse. Fix the roof first and there won't be so many issues, this must be our single focus.
