Retail Petition - Target Creeps on Thanksgiving...

November 14th, 2012 (09:44 am)
current location: Work! This is a post from work! I so mad.

See this petition about Target opening on 8pm Thanksgiving night. I think this is ridiculous and have signed the petition with a comment. I think that people should just stop and think about retail workers and them having time with family and friends on this holiday. Who needs to shop on Thanksgiving? America just stop!!!

Save Thanksgiving for retail workers. I remember when you used to count on stores being closed all that day and just planned accordingly. We need to wake up here. Wake up.

I heard about this on the news and found the petition online. I hope you will sign it. More than 200k people have so far. That makes this a movement.

Cheers.

Here's their next move: The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States.

And CISPA would provide a victory for content owners who were shell-shocked by the unprecedented outpouring of activism in opposition to SOPA and Internet censorship.

The House of Representatives is planning to take up CISPA later this month. Click here to ask your lawmakers to oppose it.

SOPA was pushed as a remedy to the supposed economic threat of online piracy -- but economic fear-mongering didn't quite do the trick.

So those concerned about copyright are engaging in sleight of hand, appending their legislation to a bill that most Americans will assume is about keeping them safe from bad guys.

This so-called cyber security bill aims to prevent theft of "government information" and "intellectual property" and could let ISPs block your access to websites -- or the whole Internet.

Don't let them push this back-door SOPA. Click here to demand that your lawmakers oppose CISPA.

CISPA also encourages companies to share information about you with the government and other corporations.

That data could then be used for just about anything -- from prosecuting crimes to ad placements.

And perhaps worst of all, CISPA supercedes all other online privacy protections.

Please click here to urge your lawmakers to oppose CISPA when it comes up for a vote this month.

Thanks for fighting for the Internet.
