Move 2019 Tax Filing Deadline from April 15th to July 15thWhile the IRS will be able to process refunds most of the agency is shuttered by the shutdown. As taxpayers cannot cannot consult the IRS and the shutdown may go on indefinitely the tax filing deadline should be extended from 04/15 to 07/15. In addition, for those taxpayers who owe money payment should be similarly extended to 07/15. Perhaps this will place some pressure on the White House and Congress to come to their senses.149 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Howard Bitterman

Sign to support the Domestic Workers Bill Of RightsThere are nearly 2 million domestic or in-home workers in America—nannies, housekeepers and home health care workers—who are excluded from basic labor protections. That means many workers face low or no pay and discrimination or harassment at work with no repercussions. The majority of these workers are women and people of color. That's why Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and I are partnering up to introduce the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in the next session of Congress. If our bill is enacted into law, we can protect some of the most vulnerable and exploited workers in America. The work of domestic workers is so incredibly important, both as caregivers and as organizers. We need to speak the truth: these workers are too often undervalued and underappreciated, and don’t have the same workplace protections as other workers. It's not right. If passed, the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights will: -Close legal loopholes excluding domestic workers from certain federal labor and civil rights laws -Create new benefits and protections for domestic workers -Encourage innovative solutions to address the unique challenges of domestic work -Create new tools to ensure that these rights are real and that workers can exercise their rights without fear This fall, Americans elected a historically diverse Congress to represent all Americans—so I believe there's no better time to pass this legislation. I'm counting on you to stand with me in support of millions of domestic workers in America. Add your name to call for equal workplace protections for domestic workers. In America, we all deserve basic rights, safety and dignity in the workplace. By fighting for fairness and equal treatment, we are fighting for the best of who we are as a country.57,738 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Kamala Harris

MLS & GCAR Board: Bring back "condition" as a required fieldThe sudden removal of "Condition" from search criteria as a REQUIRED field has caused many problems for the GCAR/ENYRMLS membership and our customers. It is also taking away from our power as real estate agents in an industry that is being inundated by the rapid growth of search engines like Zillow and Realtor.com. The MLS needs to bring back "Condition" as a REQUIRED field, reinstate the conditions that have been removed from prior sales so they can be used as comparable sales, and also provide a brief training on how to properly label listings and show sellers the definition of the conditions they sign-off on in the "data input form," possibly in a required GCAR course, or at the broker level. This needs to happen as soon as possible to prevent these ongoing problems of making agents look unprofessional to customers who expect more from their agent's searches for buying AND selling than what third-party search sources already provide.439 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Judith Gabler

Protect Video Gaming In IllinoisIllinois Video Gaming is one of the most advanced, entertaining and successful industries of its kind in the entire country. WE STRONGLY URGE THAT THE CURRENT LAWS AND RULES STAY THE SAME. Over the last three years, it has generated double-digit INCREASES in TAX receipts for STATE and LOCAL GOVERNMENT. The main reason for its unprecedented success is currently being threatened in the State Capitol. We call upon the Governor and the leaders in the State Legislature to form a task force to fully evaluate any proposed changes that would disrupt this burgeoning industry and leading funding source to the Illinois Capital Projects Fund -- the source dedicated to adequately funding the repair and reconstruction of the state’s crumbling roads, bridges and schools. The task force should be comprised of interested stakeholders, should hold hearings throughout the State, should solicit input from the public, and should publicize its findings widely.
