• Who really started free trade
    We do not need any conspiracy theories to know that free trade and globalization have not evolved in any natural economic fashion but has been driven by powerful forces outside the will of the people. Who said we had to compete like this for the same jobs in a global economic arena? It is obvious, workers had no voice in the matter.

  • Big Money is Buying Bad Legislation in Harrisburg
    Pay Day Lending lobbyists are swarming the PA Senate trying to get HB 2191 fast-tracked and to Gov. Corbett's desk. We need to fight back now to let them know we are watching. HB 2191 would allow predatory lending (Pay Day lending) into PA with interest rates of 300% and higher. Pay Day loans hurt the people desperate enough to need them AND the rest of us by siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars out of PA's economy - money lost to exorbitant interest rates and fees.

  • Bleeding California Dry
    Corporate tax breaks are bleeding California dry. These loopholes are costing the state billions each year, providing no benefit to our economy. Before California makes any more cuts to schools, public safety and vital services that have already been decimated in recent years, California's corporate tax loopholes must be eliminated.

  • Sales tax on feminine hygiene products
    Feminine hygiene products are taxed in many states. Placing a sales tax on feminine hygiene products is not fair or logical. These are not a luxury purchase. If women were unable to purchase these items at the store, they would not have an alternate non-luxury product readily at their disposal. Personally, I would not have any idea how I was supposed to deal with this monthly medical need without purchasing needed hygiene products from the store. I feel this tax is outdated ( @ 100 years outdated ) and is an unfair biased tax placed on only a portion of the population.

  • Freeze Congress' Payroll
    The President's jobs plan would put teachers, firefighters, police officers, and construction workers back to work right now. And it's paid for by asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more, but Congress refuses to act. Tell Congress we can't wait:

  • True Employment Data
    I want the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Secretary of Labor, and the President to insist on reporting the true growth in the labor force. For May, the figure we read was 69,000 jobs created. That was the seasonally adjusted figure. The true number was 789,000, not seasonally adjusted. Can you imagine what a boost to President obama's reelection prospects the true number would have been?

  • American's need jobs
    President Obama called out to Congress to pass a jobs bill at a press conference onJune, 8th, 2012. People might like to sign the petition to get the country moving again. It is questionable that Congress will respond to his call, as they have not in the past. Our President needs a boost from we the people that choose to stand behind him.
