Whistleblower.com & Whistle-blower.com, both sites are owned but Inactive.
Whenever strikes are waged in the United States, the union and business owners oppose each other but rarely if ever are the interests of the american consumer considered. I believe negotiations between labor and business would probably have benefited by having an actual consumer activist sitting at the bargaining table as well.
Example, General Motors does a commercial "tie in" to the movie Transformers. Even with gasoline prices skyrocketing out of control, the best that General Motors can do is to overpromote their behemoth cars. Would a consumer activist have advised doing a tie in to the movie Transformers and its muscle cars with the price of oil inching up to 100 dollars a barrel? GM just announced a 38 billion dollar loss in early November of 2007 and american automobile manufacturing takes another dive, it's as if the higher ups are doing it on purpose.
When I think of one word that aptly describes pointing out fraud and deception, I think of the word Whistleblower. When I go to Whistleblower.com, or Whistle-blower.com, what do I find? Nothing. That's right, both sites appear to have been locked up by their owners for a very long time. When I type up either URL, nothing comes up. This is the kind of shenanigan that should not be accepted by any consumer advocate. Has the freezing out of such a logical consumer advocacy URL website address been investigated? Probably not.
Do you begin to see how lethargic consumer advocacy in the United has become? Does it take me to point out the inappropriateness of Whistleblower.com and Whistle-blower.com not being functional or being used as a public service website? If I have opened your eyes via this website to what needs to be done and you have agreed with my examples of inefficiency that lead to unfair taking of wealth from americans, please help me do more. I have always admired consumer advocacy. Seeing Elliot Spitzer exposed as someone who would prosecute people behaving exactly as he himself had behaved just adds to the dilemma that the american consumer faces. There really is no one in their corner.
Do you remember Credit Protector, the "insurance program" that I refer to as Debt Creator? Would not the eradication and refunding of money from this one program alone be well worth the time I am willing to spend to right what I believe to be a very big wrong? Pass this website link onto someone you know, I thank you. I hope to get feedback from some of you regarding shareamillion.com. I would prefer feedback that also can double as a quote that would then go on this page.
If you have a statement of support you would like to make about the examples of waste and the unfair siphoning of money from americans that I have identified on pages two through five of this website, please email me at info@shareamillion.com A direct email link is located at the top left of every page on this website. You can be for my examples without commenting on my request for a one million dollar interest free loan. I would not want anyone to feel they would be responsible for any resulting transaction that could ensue. However, ideas are ideas, and if I have presented good ideas, please consider lending your name in that spirit.
Providing this link to others or sharing a quote with me will probably help shareamillion.com come to fruition, and I put my name and credibility on the belief that that would be a good thing.

The Importance of Consumer Advocacy & Meeting Ralph Nader
Ralph Nader is probably the most well known consumer advocate that I can recall while I was growing up, and he appears unbeholden to any corporation. Back around 1980 I briefly met Ralph Nader while I was a college student. Mr. Nader was speaking at our campus. After Mr. Nader had spoken we were given the opportunity to wait in a long line and ask him a taser-free question. When it was my turn, I asked Mr. Nader if he had any suggestions he could give me so I could pursue my dream of creating videos for positive causes such as environmental issues. (this was around 1980)
Mr. Nader flinched, he actually looked momentarily annoyed by my question. I was momentarily crestfallen by Mr. Nader's flinch. The "Nader flinch" probably helped me forego my short term goal of becoming an environmental filmmaker.
Instead I concentrated on learning about the craft of filmmaking and editing and I even won an Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Internship. My passion for making a difference has never quelled, nor has it been fulfilled. Now I'd like to take all of my life and work experiences and really put them to the best use that I can think of. I believe my prior work and life experiences have prepared me to do something new and beneficial for American society.
Virtually all television consumer advocates still rely on television advertising to pay for their salaries and staff overhead. Without paid commercials the television consumer advocate would probably be out of a job. How ironic is that? If the consumer advocate does too good of a job exposing bad business practices, the television station risks losing advertisers.
America is known as the land of opportunity yet consumer advocacy lags far behind. When a consumer advocate becomes well known in a large city, they could receive hundreds of daily calls from their viewers. The basic advice given out would usually be to direct the caller to the appropriate governmental agency. If there are that many unsatisfied consumers out there, is it possible that finding the root causes of problems would be a more effective way to help solve problems versus telling everybody to call customer service or a government agency?
I have at least 15 ideas that I want to turn into consumer advocacy issues for the purpose of overturning viscious financial programs, fees and schemes that are unethically and perhaps illegally siphoning millions of dollars from americans. I believe if I submit my ideas to the proper governmental agencies I will help ease some of the financial stress that many Americans are currently under. I started this website a few weeks before the December 04 & 05, 2007 Senate hearings on Credit Card Companies. I had an instinct that big business was beginning to abuse the way they try and make money off of middle america. I think my instincts have been proven right.
A remarkable level of freedom exists in the United States. Yet our freedom does not seem to equal "free time". Many americans have precious little free time to either become involved in socially relevant causes or to be a voice for positive change, or to just care about society at large. If americans spend most of their time creating just enough wealth to survive and pay their monthly bills, how can the United States become greater than it is?
