  • Reject Grover Norquist's control of Congress.
    Our Congress will remain stalemated as long as members pledge loyalty to Grover Norquist. Pledges to him must be rejected. Some new taxes are needed to overcome the recession and reduce the deficit.

  • Tobacco Tax Reform
    States receive billions of dollars in tobacco taxes, but very little of it is actually spent on tobacco prevention and health issues. We should demand the government provide transparent information showing people they are being taxed for a good reason.

  • Congress: Vote on the Jobs Bill
    For over a year now, the "do nothing" Congress has been sitting on President Obama's Jobs Bill. This bill could create a million jobs and would give a much needed shot in the arm to the economy, but our "good for nothing" Congress refuses to bring the bill up for a vote. We're calling on Congress to stop the political sabotage and put the Jobs Bill up for a vote. No amendments, just and up or down vote on the Jobs Bill.

  • Save Texas State Parks
    The Texas legislature has reduced funding for beautiful state parks, resulting in threatened closure and a large backlog of necessary repairs to park facilities. State parks are an affordable alternative for many Texans. Each park is representative of the diversity of Texas flora and fauna. Many are regarded as "jewels" of the State Park System. The Texas Park and Wildlife Department desparately needs support. As many as 100 TPWD jobs are threatened.

  • Steak 'n Shake: Stop taking our tips!
    Steak 'n Shake is a bare-bones employer. No vacations or full-time unless you are a manager, and no holiday pay. On top of that, they are taking 2.5% out of server's credit card tips to pay for financing fees. The amount may not seem like much, but can add up very quickly. If someone leaves a $2 tip on credit card, Steak 'n Shake will take a nickel. Every time. That's just on a $2 tip! Tell Steak 'n Shake to stop taking our money to pay for their expenses!

  • Bringing jobs back to America
    What seems to have been lost in all of the rhetoric is the belief that we can isolate an issue and simply vote on it. Most issues involving the economy, energy, environment, government, and jobs are interrelated. We can solve this in a way that benefits mankind and the country by mandating this one thing.
