• End Social Security Tax Loophole for the Rich
    Republicans want to cut Social Security for middle class and poor seniors while retaining the exemption that allows millionaires to avoid paying the Social Security tax on most of their income. Currently, only the first $110,100 of wages/salary is taxed; income beyond $110,100, as well as investment income, is Social Security tax-free. Save Social Security by requiring the rich to pay their fair share.

  • Stand Strong on the Fiscal Curve
    Senator Harkin, we urge you to stand up for us and make sure any fiscal deal ends the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% AND protects Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits from any cuts. This is what we voted for in November, and we expect you, our elected official, to vote the same way."

    As a constituent, my tax bill will increase in upwards of $2000 if the Bush Tax cuts are allowed to expire at the end of the year.

  • Senator Alexander, Reject the Norquist Pledge
    The upcoming "fiscal cliff" affects us all. It is only prudent that our elected representatives thoughtfully consider every option in order to do what is best.

  • Ask Speaker Boehner to stop posturing.
    Please ask Speaker Boehner to stop posturing before further ruining the credit rating of our country. The majority of this great nation supports raising the tax rate on earnings over $250,000. Most understand that the rate stays where it is until they earn OVER the $250,000 mark and then a small increase kicks in. This is not a huge burden for them. It will be huge for me and millions of other people making way less than $50,000 per year if the tax cuts expire.

  • END THE H-1B VISA PROGRAM NOW.
    I've been outsourced overseas by a corporation that does not care about quality, only about saving a few bucks on their next annual report. This has happened to many people I know and could happen to you next. Look up "H1B" on Wikipedia for much more background.

  • We Need More American Jobs
    I have seen way to many jobs go over seas and we loose money and employees everytime a company chooses to close their American company and open it in places like China. If enough of us stand together we might just be able to get more jobs back in the United States.

  • Reject Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge
    We've recently heard from folks in Arizona who believe that Senator Jeff Flake needs to publicly reject Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge, which has created gridlock in Congress and prevents passing any responsible fiscal policy to grow the economy. Tell Senator Flake to send Norquist packing, ending his choke hold on legislation.

    The "Fiscal Cliff" fear mongers hate Social Security. Without Social Security I would probably be homeless.

  • Stop the Cuts Raise the Rates
    Dick Durbin and Senate Democrats have the power to end th Bush taxes cuts for the top 2% while making our safety net stronger than it has ever been. They have the support of the people, polls and more importantly the election have shown this to be the case. Yet they seem willing to give into the demands of the heads of corporations and the richest among us. Tell them we will not stand for this. Sign the petition now, and join us in delivering it on Dec10.
