Austerity is a proven failure; we need a stimulus program!Are you like me? Filled with anxiety over the future for you and your kids and their kids? For your retirement? For your continued capacity to even pay your bills? All the while our nation slogs through the reckless sabotage of our president's economic recovery proposals, -- even as our deficit shrinks, as our corporations profit and the stock market booms, --- our workers continue to suffer. Something is basically upside-down and it is time to set it right!114 of 200 SignaturesCreated by MaryEllen Kersch

Don’t Let Georgia Politicians Silence Workers and Our CommunitiesExtreme legislators in Atlanta and their corporate donors are trying to ram through a series of bills to attack workers’ rights and weaken the ability of local communities to determine what works best for them. At the heart of these bills is an attempt to intimidate workers. But it goes far beyond that. They would increases penalties for free speech activities, like picketing, put new, burdensome requirements on small businesses and workers, and tie the hands of local communities to keep local officials from deciding what works best for them when dealing with their workforce. Tell your legislators to oppose these measures and focus on creating good jobs and strengthening Georgia’s economy instead.723 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Charlie Flemming, GA AFL-CIO

For real jobs, workers require real unionsMost people know that jobs are our first priority. But most don't understand that means good jobs, because only good jobs pay enough to create real consumers and strong tax revenue. And only strong unions will fight to make weak jobs into good jobs. Only strong unions have the will and independence to revive the middle class. They are the voice of the workforce. Revival of the unions is the indispensable key to revival of the middle class and the restoration of prosperity in the United States1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chatham H. Forbes Sr.
