How about ending tax breaks for CEO bonuses instead?Right now huge corporations like WalMart get a tax break for handing out huge CEO bonuses. Meanwhile, the House has recently passed budgets that would drop 570,000 kids out of Head Start, make a deep $175 million cut to SNAP food assistance funding, and cut job assistance training for 2 million Americans. The tax code sets a $1 million limit per executive for the amount of pay that corporations can write off their income taxes. But the problem is that there’s a loophole that exempts “performance-based” pay. So, corporations are shelling out huge CEO bonuses to pay less in taxes. For example, during the past six years, WalMart pocketed $298.6 million in fully deductible “performance pay,” lowering the company’s federal tax bills by $104 million. We simply can't afford tax loopholes that help the biggest corporations dodge paying their fair share. It's time we close these loopholes and invest in an economy that works for all of us, not just the CEOs.503 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Proctor, Fair Share

Tell MSNBC to Stop Firing Hosts Who Support the Working ClassThe working class in America has very very few allies in corporate media, and when we finally find one ... shortly, MSNBC (which is the only station working class heroes find their way into) ends their program, ie Dylan Ratigan, Martin Bashier, and now Ed Schultz, who's being replaced by corporate hack and extreme middle-roader who challenges nothing of consequence, Chuck Todd. Tell MSBNC to bring Ed back!2,567 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Bill Douglas

Hillary Clinton: don't let the DNC take lobbyist money!Our political parties should run their conventions on donations from "we, the people," not lobbyists and PACs. Democrats did that in 2012, but the Democratic National Committee just announced it will take money from PACs and lobbyists to fund its 2016 convention. Common Cause is calling on every candidate for president to demand a ban on PAC and lobbyist convention funding as a necessary step to change Washington's pay-to-play culture. Any candidate who wants to be president has to stand up to big money and stand for people — letting PACs and lobbyists buy the national conventions is a step in the wrong direction. But a candidate who took a bold stance against the party insiders, would distinguish himself or herself as a champion for reform. Hillary Clinton should put public pressure on the DNC to reverse this capitulation to special interests. If its presidential candidates speak out loudly and swiftly, party leaders will act.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Common Cause

Remove all alcohol advertisements from TV and radioI've seen too many young people die from alcohol--from alcohol poisoning, drunk driving, suicide, and other ways too. Commercials make it look like you have to have it to enjoy sports, sex or life. Kids believe it. Tobacco is gone; it's time for alcohol.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael H. Snyder

Stop Ted Cruz’s radical plan to abolish the consumer protection agency!It's hard to believe – Sen. Ted Cruz just introduced a bill this week to ABOLISH the successful consumer protection agency! That’s the agency that brought Elizabeth Warren to prominence when she first proposed it in 2007. Sign the petition to tell Ted Cruz: Withdraw your reckless plan to abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Ted Cruz is running for president, and the Wall Street executives funding his campaign *love* this scheme. Wall Street can't stand having an agency dedicated solely to protecting everyday people from getting ripped off by big banks, payday loan sharks, and credit card companies. In just under 4 years since being founded, the CFPB has: • Forced big banks to return more than $10 billion to consumers they had cheated. • Investigated for-profit colleges with deceptive advertising that has thrown hundreds of thousands of students deep into debt. • Just this week, CFPB forced Citigroup to return $770 million to consumers after pushing consumers into taking bad credit cards using deceptive practices. Ted Cruz calls abolishing the consumer protection agency “a step in the right direction.” The only direction it would take us is back to the ‘Wild West’ days of Wall Street bankers running wild and ripping off consumers. Sign the petition to tell Ted Cruz: Stop your attempts to undermine the consumer protection agency!6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kurt Walters, Rootstrikers

Boycott Bank of America, retrieve millions for CPS and the City of ChicagoI work for the Chicago Teachers Union. We are outraged that the Chicago Board of Education has known for four years that these toxic swaps with Bank of America were putting a tremendous strain on the school budget. However, despite being briefed, warned and provided ample information, they did nothing. We are taking matters into our own hands and giving the people an opportunity to create meaningful change and hold Bank of America accountable.1,896 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jackson Potter
