  • I Support Deregulation of Gas and Electricity in Wisconsin
    Wisconsin has the opportunity to join more than 20 other States who have successfully deregulated gas and electricity utilities--to the financial benefit of their residential and business customers. Actual utility bills show that Illinois residents, alone, pay nearly 25%-45% LESS than Wisconsin residents for the same services--thanks to deregulation. We have experienced this success in other area, for instance, landline and cell phone service. Help us to collect 1,000 signatures to show that we are serious about lowering our utility bills. Thank you.

  • Bankrupting the Nation: Corporate Welfare
    Corporate welfare is any government spending program that provides unique benefits or advantages to specific companies or industries. Billions of dollars in corporate welfare are given in the form of subsidies, tax discounts, payroll rebates, cash grants, training funds, low-cost loans and leases, free buildings and free land and avoidance of costs of environmental health and safety. Most of this “aid” is given without public knowledge. Examples include the USDA giving $100 million taxpayer dollars yearly to exporters of food and other agricultural products to market their products overseas e.g. Sunkist, Dole, Gallo, Sunsweet; the Department of Commerce ‘s Advanced Tech Program giving $200 million taxpayer dollars anually in research grants to some of the nation's largest high-tech companies; those grants allow private companies to use taxpayer dollars to help them develop and bring to market profitable new products and the Export-Import Bank using $700 million taxpayer dollars/ year to provide subsidized financing to foreign purchasers of U.S. goods.

  • Corporations are not people, money is not speech
    The supreme court recently carried the meaning of "corporate personhood" to an extreme, and equated the unlimited, anonymous spending of money with free speech. The effect of this on our electoral system, already direly corrupted by money, is unlikely to be constructive in any way. It may prove the end of free and fair elections in America. Are you willing to take that risk?

  • Overrule Citizens United Decision
    Big spending on elections and lobbying is preventing meaningful action by Congress and state legislatures to address the urgent matters of severe unemployment, inadequate health care, and and an alarming and growing disparity between the incomes and standards of living of the wealthiest 1% of our citizens and the remaining 99%. Under the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case, spending by individuals and by corporations is constitutionally protected speechthat cannot be effectively limited by Congress and by state legislatures. Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution , at the request of legislatures of two-thirds of the states, Congress must call a constitutional convention to consider the need for constitutional amendment.

  • Move the City of Elk Grove's Money Out of Bank of America
    The City of Elk Grove has our taxpayer dollars in Bank Of America. This is a company that has been sued for fraud multiple times for defrauding customers. All 50 states are investigating Bank Of America right now for mortgage fraud. Especially after the Citizens United ruling in 2010 giving corporations the same rights as people, I ask you this question: Would you trust your money with a friend or any person that has been litigated against for fraud? I think not. Let's send a message to The City of Elk Grove that we do not want to do business with companies under investigation or that have been sued.
