Maximum Tax on Foreign Investments.Some time ago I saw a professionally directed stock account. The company that directed this account required a minimum investment of $500,000.00 . About 40% was invested in foreign companies and much of the remaining 60% was in American companies whose main labor force was outside of the US. The Bush Tax Cuts did promote jobs, but these jobs are out of the US and compete with US workers.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bill Sifferle

Georgia Pacific: Stop putting profits before people.On October 21st, the Georgia Pacific plant where I have worked for over 21 years will close for good. The next day, along with 140 of my coworkers, I will find myself without work, without health care, without any prospects for new work. Georgia Pacific has given us no reason for closing the plant and eliminating so many good paying jobs. I am most terrified by the loss of my health insurance – as my wife battles cancer, what are we supposed to do? Go bankrupt right as we prepare for retirement? Stand with me and the 140 other laid-off workers to demand an explanation from Georgia Pacific, and call upon our elected representatives to stand up for us. -- Glenn Jackson960 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Glenn Jackson

Poverty LevelThe poverty level according to the government has stayed the same. Yet, prices keep going up in groceries, gas, health insurance, medicine, etc.... It is time to raise the poverty level so more people will not have to go hungry, not without clothes, medical help etc.... Who can possibly make it on minimum wage and pay a sitter? These people are also losing their homes and as Americans we need to fight for them and their children. What if it was you?3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Debra Boggs

Pay Fairness ActA Petition to pass a Pay Fairness Act to the U.S. Constitution. The act would simply be a formula to help guarantee a living wage.

American Crystal Sugar: Greed’s Never SweetThe CEO and board members of American Crystal Sugar (ACS)—the nation’s largest sugar beet processor—have blocked me and hundreds of my co-workers from our jobs for more than a year, denying us incomes and health care benefits to support our families. What’s worse, ACS made record profits last year and paid CEO David Berg $2.4 million in compensation. All this while we struggle to make ends meet, small businesses in our communities—that rely on us to keep the doors open—have been forced to close, and sugar beet farmers are being forced to “turn under” their crops and are seeing significantly lower payments for their beets compared with what they get from other sugar producers. Sign our boycott pledge to let CEO Berg and ACS board members you won’t stand for their corporate greed. American Crystal Sugar products being boycotted include American Crystal Sugar bags of sugar labeled Crystal Sugar and “Market Pantry” sugar sold in Target stores in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin.15,803 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Mel Morris, locked out American Crystal Sugar worker
