• Gun Tax for mental health
    The senseless shooting in Newtown, CT affected every one of us deeply. This is a multilayered issue. Gun control and mental health must be addressed. Encouraging congress to impose increased taxes on guns and put that money to improved health care and early intervention can be a step in the right direction.

  • Starbucks CEO: leave the coalition to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
    Starbucks’ coffee is a favorite treat for so many American workers and their families. That’s why it’s even more appalling that Starbucks’ CEO is trying, with over 100 CEOs, hedge fund managers, and bank presidents, to cut the vital services our families rely on so that they can get bigger corporate tax breaks.

  • Senate & House: VOTE!!
    The entire nation is about to experience an economic disaster that is completely avoidable. Congress needs to finally hold itself accountable and vote on President Obama's economic plan. The people have already voted, and now it is the duty of our elected representatives to step up and show us where they stand. We can take it from there.

  • Tax salon services
    Currently all salon services in the state of Washington are tax free. No sales tax, no luxury tax. Most of these services including haircare, nails, facials, massages etc. are services the well off indulge in. The state has continually used the "sin" tax to raise money by taxing beer and cigarettes (now weed too)...but, has never approched taxing the rich for their pampering in the salon. It would raise desperately needed money for the state and not effect the lower class.

  • Federal Elected Officials: Pass legislation to prevent the US from going over the fiscal cliff or...
    With America mere days away from the financial crisis termed the "fiscal cliff" which would cause the widespread financial burdens for all Americans and particular hardship for many of the most vulnerable including loss of long-term unemployment pay, increased payroll taxes, increased income taxes, and the jeopardizing once again of the US credit rating, it appears appropriate for Americans to shift the consequences for that obstructionism to those responsible: the Federal Legislators, including John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and all House and Senate legislators of both parties.
