1. stop taking their money |
|
and maybe stop calling it "corporate donations" and call it what it actually is: a filthy bribe.

3. corporate greed is running wild |
|
under Bushco. Start with banking and insurance companies, then go after big oil and put all of their asses in prison.

2. here's a couple of definite things: |
|
work with Congress to end the gift to pharma contained in the Medicare drug benefit bill.
stand up to big oil and the automakers. Look into price fixing re big oil. Reduce or cut out the subsidies to oil companies. Stop the ethanol nonsense. Support California's auto emissions law instead of blocking it. Work toward making that law federal.
Crack down on the financial services market and the practices that hurt working Americans.

5. Why not be concerned instead... |
|
...about what YOU can do about corporate greed?
Like, stop giving them your money? Watch where your dollars go. Stop using credit cards. Stop paying interest. Buy local, buy small scale, stop enabling the greed. They will have no power if we don't give them our money.
