US Senate: Stop estate tax repeal1/4 of this tax cut goes to the top .01 % of tax payers and almost none to farms or family businesses. If we can't afford "Meals on Wheels" we sure can't afford this.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Greenman

Vote YES on SB 982I believe that the people need to see the whole picture of a candidate including special interests. Illinois State Senate Bill 982 provides that no candidate for President or Vice-President of the United States shall appear on the official ballot for the general election if that candidate has not released his or her tax returns at least 5 days prior to the date set for certification of the ballot for the general election. Tell our state senators to vote YES on SB 982.246 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Crystal

RCA Time To CountI have worked for the USPS going on 16 years as a Rural Carrier Associate. I have been a faithful, hard working, dependable employee and all of the time I have in counts for nothing. I'm 47 years old now and am not sure when a full time route will come available. I'm asking for hours worked not years to count. This could benefit the company because it would cause older employees to be able to retire sooner and be replaced with younger lower paid employees.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tona Miller

Reject permanent austerity for NC that locks in tax breaks for millionairesNorth Carolina is currently struggling to make sure every child has a textbook, every working person has access to affordable healthcare, and that every older North Carolinian can get support for their health and nutritional needs, but there isn’t enough money to go around. The North Carolina Senate wants to make this state of affairs permanent. They have passed a proposal to cap the state income tax rate in the state Constitution so that they can continue to give millionaires a tax break, while our communities struggle to meet basic needs. We need your signature to tell the House that regular North Carolinians reject this approach to fiscal austerity, and they must do the same.1,337 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Alexandra Sirota

Student debt dischargabilityThe department of education has just removed protections for students who fall on hard times, and as a result default on their student loans. Almost every other type of debt is discharged by bankruptcy, after all, Donald Trump has done it numerous times. Banks and Wall-street are afforded protections that America's students are not, and it is time to put an end to it.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Todd

Secretary Elaine Chao: Stop Funding Major Job Loss!The Department of Transportation must stop funding self-driving cars, a technology that the DOT and Uber are spearheading, risking the jobs of almost 10 million people. We’re calling on Secretary Elaine Chao to end taxpayer-subsidized job loss and keep Uber from deleting drivers. Uber has been under fire recently for leaked footage of CEO Travis Kalanick’s gross behavior towards one of his company’s drivers, telling him that drivers “don’t like to take responsibility” for the problems they face working for Uber, plus several allegations of a hostile and sexist work environment by current and former employees. This is nothing new for Uber -- the company has profited from the exploitation of its workers for years. Since Uber drivers are classified as independent contractors, they don’t have access to full benefits and health insurance. While Uber claims its drivers get to “be their own boss,”they are victims of constantly changing rates, which only keep getting lower and lower. This means poverty wages for the drivers Uber relies on. Adding insult to injury, the Department of Transportation is funding research for self-driving cars, which Uber plans to use so they can get rid of drivers to increase their profits. While the company claims that driverless cars will be cheaper for riders, they haven’t said anything about how self-driving cars will impact the lives of their own drivers. The Department of Transportation should not be funding Silicon Valley billionaires so they can line their pockets even more. DOT must stop funding a technology that will leave over 300,000 Uber drivers unemployed.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ryan Jacob, New York Communities for Change
