Support Renewable Energy -- Cut Oil Industry Hand-Outs!
The House passed a bill cutting government subsidies to the oil and gas industry and shifting them to renewable energy development. This bill would allow renewable sources such as solar and wind power to get the funding they need and incentives would also be provided for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that would help clean up pollution in our transportation sector. Tell the Senate to cut the hand-outs to Big Oil and invest in clean energy today!

Send EPA head Stephen Johnson into the Recycling Bin!

Let's save the planet -- by putting Stephen Johnson in the recycling bin!

Is There a Trap in Your Wallet?
We all sign confusing contracts written in tiny print whenever we get a new credit card, cable service, insurance or even when we take a new job. Unfortunately, companies have started to slip Binding Mandatory Arbitration (BMA) clauses into the legalese. It may sound benign, but it?s not.

A Movie and a Message from Kate
Birth control has had a tremendously positive impact on the lives of millions of women - and, generally, the benefits heavily outweigh the risks that are associated with the pill. But why are some women taking a pill that doubles the risk of blood clots compared to other pills? Well, there is no GOOD reason. I agree with Public Citizen - I think these newer drugs should be taken off the market. I'm telling everyone I know to get informed about their birth control. Watch my YouTube movie. If you want to make a difference, tell the FDA to ban the more dangerous versions of birth control pills and then spread the word. -- Kate, Public Citizen Employee
