Don't let big cable sell your private information
From Free Press Action Fund:
This is a story of cynical Beltway politics at its worst.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has two strong proposals on the table: one would stop Comcast from selling your private information without your consent, and another would lower your cable-TV bill by ending the monopoly on that set-top box you're forced to rent each month.
Thousands of us have written in support of these common-sense, pro-consumer policies — but it isn't clear whether they'll move forward before the end of the Obama administration.
The cable industry's friends in Congress are threatening the survival of both of these measures. Instead of letting the agency do its job, they're pressuring Wheeler to resign right after the election and stalling the renomination of Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel.
Holding up a confirmation to force the agency's hand on unrelated topics is no way to govern.
Worse still: It might be working.1
Rosenworcel is reportedly reluctant to move quickly on these crucial measures. And they need her vote to pass.
We need the FCC to stand up to industry and reject Congress’ political games.
Tell the FCC to protect your privacy and lower your cable bill TODAY.
Anything worth doing at the FCC is going to take at least a 3–2 vote. Chairman Wheeler, Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and Commissioner Rosenworcel have a chance to go down in history as leaders of the FCC that did more for the public interest than any other. Their decisions over the next few months could cement that legacy — but only if all three of them hold strong.
We need them to work together — now.

Tell Obamq to stand with the people not trial lawyers.
From Freedom Works:
There’s only a week left to stop Obama’s massive liberal trial lawyer payday. If enacted, this regulation takes money away from actual victims and gives it to liberal trial lawyers. And if that’s not bad enough, you’ll have to pay for it. Because of this regulation your credit card interest rates, ATM fees, student loans, home mortgages, and bank loans will all drastically increase.Don’t let that happen. Contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stand up for you not the trial lawyers.
Please use these notes to inform your comments:
- This proposed regulation isn’t about protecting consumers, it’s designed to make it easier for trial lawyers to gather big class action groups allowing them to collect bigger fees.
- The government’s own study found that individual arbitration awards average several thousand dollars, while the average class action settlement payment is $32.35. Meaning that consumers and victims are better off in arbitration.
- This rule will make all covered financial products more expensive: higher fees for bank products, higher interest rates on credits cards. And this rule only benefits trial lawyers.
So far, we’ve been able to drive more then 10,000 comments to stop it. But I fear it won’t be enough. If we’re going to stop this terrible regulation we need to double that amount. So please, take 30 seconds and contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop Obama’s liberal trial lawyer payday.

Why are police officers being targeted?
That's the question a lot of conservatives are asking. They keep asking and asking but unfortunately for them I'm going to answer them with a response they are going to hate. Police brutality. Let's use former police officer current prison inmate Drew Peterson as an example. Peterson was recently caught trying to hire a hitperson to kill the prosecutor that sent him to prison. When he was an active police officer Peterson was known to threaten those he stopped. When he wrote speeding tickets or other infractions he told the people being cited that they better plead guilty or he would make their lives a living hell. Drew Peterson was a dirty cop but there are other dirty cops out there and the police brass covers for them. If a bad cop shoots someone and kills them they get time off with pay. If you or I do the same thing we go to jail and possibly prison. Sean Hannity loves to have on his show Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.Hannity throws softballs Clarke's way. Let me ask Clarke the question on dirty cops and what he is doing to combat the problem. That is if they are doing anything about it. I'll ask him the tough questions like: the blue code is never snitch on a fellow cop. The prison code is never snitch on a fellow con. What is the difference between these two codes and what is he doing to address the problem of police brutality? For every action there is a reaction. Police brutality begets violence against police officers. the people are going to rebel against oppressive authority. When the people see bad cops being ostracized and shunned then perhaps things can settle down. When these same officers go to prison for their misdeeds then maybe the problem will dissipate. But there have to be reforms before anything can progress forward.
