• Tax Cuts Are Not the Right Priority for Oklahoma
    Governor Fallin and top legislators are seeking to further reduce and eliminate Oklahoma’s personal income tax. Meanwhile, Oklahoma is already 49th in the nation in education funding per student, and our children’s class sizes are larger than they have been in years. In addition, our roads and bridges are crumbling, higher education tuition continues to escalate, and we’re not caring for many with mental illness and disabilities. It’s especially unfair to cut the top income tax rate while doing away with the child tax credit and sales tax relief, forcing poor and middle class families to shoulder an increased burden at a time when many are already struggling.

  • Retirment compensation for cogres and the house
    Every four years we hear that we may lose social security, that we can't afford it ect. I ,for one, don't want all the money I paid to just dissappear, I am 50 and have worked since I was 14. I have paid a lot. But congress and the house are not worried as they have a pension that will not be touched. I think that that pensionshould be dissolved if anything happens to social security. If the people who have paid so much of their small wages can not be compensated for the money they put in, then congress and the house should not be allowed to use our tax money to pay themselves a pension, it is all "our" tax money, why should they get to keep it when we don't. These people cannot even do a good enoough job to not be fired in four years, why should someone who may have worked for 30 years and not been replaced loose they money they put in. If our social security cannot be paid, then neither should the pension for the govt employees.

  • Support Chris Donovan's Minimum Wage Proposal
    House Speaker Chris Donovan's proposal to raise Connecticut's minimum wage is currently being held up by a few conservative Democrats in the Senate. The 50-cent hourly increase in pay would provide an extra $80 a month in the pockets of over 100,000 people. That's good for families and workers, and it's good for business. Chris Donovan gets it, but Joan Hartley does not. We're calling on Sen. Joan Hartley to support Speaker Donovan's proposal that would make life a little less stressful for thousands of families.

  • Obama say it! Republican Obstructionism Compromised the Economic Recovery
    The Republicans, Romney in particular, are blaming Obama for the lack luster recovery. But the truth is that they blocked, or forced excessive compromise on many of Obama's proposals. Republican governors also lead the nation in firing public sector workers. Had there been more of an attempt to save these existing jobs, the jobless rate would be lower,

  • 401K Roll-over for job creators.
    Due to this recession, so many laid off workers are using their retirement savings to buy or start their own businessess. But there is no exception in the tax code for this. You can roll the funds over to the Stock Market (big business), but not your own business. Not only will the funds taken out be subject to income tax, but an additional 10% penalty as well. This needs to be changed NOW!
