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.
