  • Let's Get Gas Prices Down
    With Exxon making monthly profits in the BILLIONS, it is time to take a stand. If everyone in America would stop buying just Exxon gas - buy all the gas you want at other stations, Exxon would eventually decide that they could live with a smaller profit, and they would lower gas prices. This, I believe, would start a gas war. The money saved by the average Joe would go back into the economy.

  • Taxation Gender Justice
    Why should women taxpayers pick up the bill for impotence treatments while denied access to birth control and abortions? Why should women be forced into "breeding for the state" while millions of dollars in child support payments remain uncollected?

  • Reduce payroll tax rate by eliminating cap
    The current payroll tax is regressive. Regardless of income, we all pay 4.2% payroll tax up to $110,100 in 2012. Why should the wage earners in the lower income brackets pay an equal amount or even more (percentage wise) than a high income earner? The rate can be lowered FOR ALL if there is no cap.

  • Keep Walmart out of Humboldt
    Walmart has no place in Humboldt. - It will destroy our local economy. Studies have shown that within one year sales volumes at local stores will fall on average 14% and by ten years 31%. Many will be forced to close. - With two K-Marts and a target, we already have everything WalMart can offer and more. - Many states and communities will our tax dollars to pay for subsidies to aid WalMart's arrival. This may funding construction and removing trees from Highway 101 to accommodate the imports. - While WalMart may employ a number of Humboldt Co residents, as a company it has refused to support their workers in order to cut their prices lower. WalMart employees are encouraged to drain government resources to fund the working poor and therefore remain a part of the poverty cycle that already exists in Humboldt County. - WalMart is also one of many large corporations that employs slave labor, outsourcing from other countries to produce their products. - The products WalMart produces aren't created to last. Instead they are created to deteriorate quickly, be thrown into our landfills, and repurchased again. - It will put many hard working people and shop owners out of business for the sake of providing cheaper merchandise to our people, many jobs and livelihoods will be lost. There is no benefit here - it will only deteriorate our community. Thank you for signing and doing a small part to keep Humboldt County's economy local and thriving as much as it can.

Without your support, we could lose an important part of our local history and an iconic part of Garden Grove.

  • Tax income from all sources at the same rates
    Currently, capital gains and dividens are taxed at lower rates than wages. There is no reason for this. The only thing special about capital gains is that rich people have them: that's why they're always pushing for lower tax rates on them. The same tax rates should apply to all income, regardless of source.

  • No bonuses for selling public corporation assets
    Allowing corporate officials to get bonuses for selling off the company is not much different than allowing cashiers to pocket cash. Their job is to guide the company, I think we have been missing that point since the 80's and the mission is developing into 'how can I personally enrich myself?". Since the top executives and boards seem often to be entertwined and self-serving we need a law to pervent this to protect this country's industry, our workers and our future.
