  • living wage increase
    The living wage in the Twin cities metro was set at 10/hr in the mid 1990's. today almost 20 years later with a housing boom of over 400% and gas prices increase of 0ver 400% and the food costs and fun costs increase of over 400% we need to increase the living wage for asmall companies to 15/hr and large such as General mills, best buy, 3M, wells fargo, Mcdonalds, Burgerking, etc. to 20/hr. These low wage employees dont get health benefits or retirment incomes as of today so we eithetr need to be those benefits back in or pay hire wages. The chinese companies are buying america due to lack of income coming in, due to lack of pay out to middle america and low america. We need to increase wages for middle and low america to save the country.

  • We Want Our Home!
    Banks will agree to a short pay or short sale transaction on a home and accept, in some cases, $300,000 less than the current mortgage value. Why not make this same offer to the homeowner by reducing the principle and allow them to stay in their homes? This would put an immediate halt to the 1,000's of foreclosures in our nation and give our economy a chance to heal.

  • Save the Middle Class
    Both state and federal legislatures throughout the country are looking to increase taxes on the middle class and lower them on the wealthy and large corporations. Meanwhile nothing is being done to lower gas prices or raise minimum wages or get rid of other hurdles to middle class income such as pay caps.

  • Foreclosure Crisis: Solved!
    An economic hiccup would devastate the finances of more than 10 million "underwater" homeowners, throwing many into foreclosure. Mortgage lenders would be swamped with foreclosed homes. Already strapped homebuilders would be brought to their knees. In brief, we're one housing financial hiccup away from a National financial death spiral. Yet, without spending a dime or raising taxes a penny, the threat of fiscal calamity can be avoided by passing legislation that: (1) relieves banks of their capital requirements vis-a-vis mortgages, (2) mandates that lenders re-write "underwater" mortgages at current market value (marked-to-market), (3) mandates that homeowners cede to their lenders the difference between the amounts owing on their mortgages and FMV, and, (4) mandates that lenders re-write mortgages for 30 years at "preferred" interest rates and terms.
