  • Tell Gov. Nixon to Stand with Missouri's Workers
    One of the worst attacks on Missouri's working men and women this session came in the form of SB29 - the Paycheck Deception bill. This dangerous, unfair and unnecessary bill passed when a small majority of state representatives sided with special interests over their own constituents. Fortunately, we have the numbers to prevent this dangerous legislation from becoming law. Sign our petition asking Governor Nixon to veto SB29 and add your voice to the chorus of supporters for Missouri's workers.

  • Reform The Farm Bill of 2013
    As a former SNAP (food stamps) recipient, along with a current activist against food insecurity, we are calling on Congress to make significant reforms to the 2013 Farm Bill by eliminating agricultural subsidies to successful agricultural corporations and by making crop insurance policies subject to means testing and payment limits. At the same time, we strongly urge Congress to pass the National Sustainable Agricultural Coalition’s amendment to the Farm Bill as well as the Local Farms, Food, and Jobs Act of 2013. The amendment and bill would increase support for farmers who are growing organic and sustainably produced fruit, vegetables, meats, and other healthy foods for local and regional markets. It would also increase access to these healthy foods in underserved communities.

  • Fee or tax or penalty?
    The North Carolina legislature has included in its state budget a fee (tax, penalty) for hybrid and electric car owners. If this passes hybrid car owners will have to pay $50.00/year in addition to their registration fee while electric car owners would have to pay an additional $100.00/year.

  • Freeze all Illinois Legislators' Salaries and Benefits until Pension Crisis is Resolved
    Illinois now has the lowest credit rating in the country due to the lack of action on pension reform. Springfield lacks the leadership and political will to get this state in order and become economically competitive again. In order to pressure them to solve the pension crisis, all Illinois legislators' salaries, benefits and other perks should be frozen until they come up with a solution.

  • Protect your right to free speech online.
    Corporations and their political allies are trying to prevent the Senate from confirming President Obama's nominees to the National Labor Relations Board. Why? So that they won't have to worry about the laws that protect your rights at work, including your right to use Facebook, Twitter and other online forums on your own time to discuss things like unreasonable hours, a bad boss, or other workplace problems. You see, the National Labor Relations Board enforces the National Labor Relations Act, the law that protects the right of private sector workers to discuss their working conditions and try to make things better. The NLRB makes sure that workers get their jobs back if they have been illegally fired for airing their opinions of their employers on social networks. Republicans plan to stop the NLRB from enforcing the law by abusing the Senate rules and using silent filibusters to prevent confirmation of President Obama’s nominees. The Democratic majority has the power to close the loopholes in the Senate rules to stop these filibusters on qualified nominees. But they will only act if we demand action. Sign the petition to demand that the Senate take the necessary steps confirm all five members of the National Labor Relations Board.

  • Increase Minimum Wage vs. Earned Income Tax Credit
    Those with money, resources, and unlimited opportunity insists an increase of minimum wage would be disastrous to unskilled workers, and unemployment would increase. The bottom line is centered on reducing poverty and increasing standard of living; but failure is resulting due to power structure insistence on the effects of loss of profits or increase in expenses. The wealth gap has expanded in favor of the 'Haves', while the 'Have nots' were introduced to Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to curve Public Opinion and offset low income living wage.
