Stop the Ticketmaster merger

Ticketmaster wants to merge with Live Nation (Ticketmaster's leading competitor), meaning that most of the tickets we could buy would be coming from the new mega-ticket conglomerate.

Ticketmaster already adds around 30% to the cost of a ticket in junk fees. And from past experience we know that the less competition, the worse these guys get with their handling, processing and other nonsense fees.

Help us stand up to the merger.  Please use the form below to send a message to Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney, head of the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice.  If you can, please add any personal experience you have had with over-priced tickets, or an inability to purchase tickets from alternative vendors.

Stop our tax dollars from subsidizing the BP spill

BP announced $6.1 billion profits in April for its first quarter -- double last year's number and roughly six times the amount it has spent on the cleanup so far. 

Over the next ten years, the oil and gas industry will receive $40 billion in subsidies -- courtesy of the American taxpayer.

By improving the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can stop sending our tax dollars to subsidize Big Oil's mistakes.

The Senate votes this week, and we are working with our federation to gather signatures from Americans across the country, demanding that Sen. Reid hold BP accountable.

Sign the petition below to make sure that BP is paying for spill clean up.

Petition Text

Dear Senator,

I don't want my tax dollars going to big oil companies. There's no better time than now to end corporate welfare to companies that make huge profits and huge mistakes. We urge you to address this injustice in the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act.

Sincerely,
