Sen. Nelson: This Tax Day, Stop the Corporate Tax DodgeEvery year, some large corporations dodge billions in taxes while their friends in Congress do all they can to protect their loopholes. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of it. Let's see if they can dodge this: As we near Tax Day, add your name to our petition and we will put it on a dodgeball and deliver it. By hook or by crook and with considerable help from Congress, a few big corporations end up dodging more than $150 billion in taxes per year -- through offshore bank accounts, phony overseas subsidiaries, and tax breaks written into the law by special interest lobbyists. You and I pay our fair share. Isn't it time for tax-dodging corporations to do the same? Especially when some members of Congress would rather protect these tax giveaways than invest in education, health care or making sure kids have enough to eat? Right now Sen. Nelson is part of the Senate group coming up with the plan for corporate tax reform. We know they are being inundated by lobbyists from the big tax-dodging corporations. Help us send a message that they can't dodge their responsibility to the rest of us.78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Meredith Small

Durbin, Kirk, Davis: End Millionaire Social Security Tax BreakOn February 12, those making a million dollars a year reached the annual tax cap. After that day, none of their income will be taxed to pay for Social Security. Meanwhile, 94% of Americans -- those who make less than $118,500 a year -- will chip in a portion of every single paycheck, all year long. That’s right. A single mother working as an ER nurse pays 6.2% of every paycheck toward Social Security, 12 months out of the year. Meanwhile, a wealthy investment banker on Wall Street isn’t paying a dime into the system for the rest of 2015. They say we can’t afford Social Security. No. We can’t afford to keep giving unfair tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires! Add your name. Sign the petition and tell Senator Dick Durbin, Senator Mark Kirk, and Rep. Rodney Davis it’s time to end the Social Security tax break for millionaires!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Naiman

The Local Food Security Tax CreditTo nurture and speed up the development of local and regional food systems. With 500,000 acres being removed from food production in California due to long term drought, and commodity agricultural exports raising food prices at home, the Local Food Security Tax Credit will make food available and keep food affordable for millions of Americans.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Doug Welch

Server WageI have been serving for a while. Most people I work with have two jobs to make ends meet, causing health issues, exhaustion and more. Most restaurant industries require servers. Every day is a gamble, and we understand that when we sign up for the job. We can't control if or when customers come in. We can control only when they are here and their experience. Either the wage from $2.13 needs to be raised or there should be a minimum automatic tip on the check. We work so hard doing all we can, and when you do your best and get nothing for a tip, when they could have gone to a fast food place. .... yes it hurts. If most people tried to serve, I'm sure they wouldn't succeed. It takes so much talent to do this job. I work two jobs myself to make ends meet. I've had many checks today, as well as other servers, not include a tip. These checks were $50.00 plus, and that's a lot of food and drinks if you think about it. Something needs to be done. Please help to raise the wage, or set an automatic tip amount per check.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amy ashcraft

UW: Comply with Seattle's Historic $15/hr Min Wage OrdinanceOn April 1, 2015, Seattle took its first step towards a $15 minimum wage by requiring all employers with over 500 workers to pay at least $11/hr. Despite being the single largest employer in Seattle, the University of Washington administration has argued that it's not obligated to pay $15/hr to campus workers. This means that over 12,000 campus workers are at risk of not receiving a much-needed wage increase – including over 8,700 student workers, who have seen UW tuition rise 82% since 2008. Academically, UW is ranked among the best universities worldwide; unfortunately, UW is also home to an ever-growing gap between the highest-paid administrators and the lowest-paid hourly workers. Instead of increasing student fees/tuition, or cutting research funding and campus jobs, the UW can and should provide living wage jobs for ALL campus workers by redistributing funds from highly-paid administrators to the most marginalized workers on campus. If every other employer in Seattle can pay at least $15/hr, so can UW.2,717 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by UW Academic Workers For A Democratic University

Tell Senator Portman to Support Paid Family LeaveJust over 1 in 10 workers receive any paid days off to give birth and bond with a newborn or care for a sick family member.

It is time to take on the Billionaires and the Corporation who's greed is causing the major distress of the United States of America.1,022 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Anthony C. Webb
