Huntleigh airport workers make Dulles airport run. We are the attendants, checkpoint agents, baggage handlers, and skycaps who help you get to your flight safely so that you can spend time with the ones you love most. All we want for the holidays is a living wage and a union so that we can take care of our families. We care about our passengers and we work very hard to ensure that travelers have a safe and clean airport. We want to focus on keeping passengers safe, rather than being fired at will. Please join us and call on Huntleigh to stop blocking workers who are trying to improve our jobs so we can provide for our families this holiday season.

Not only would this proposed change fundamentally shift the tradition and purpose of tipping in our country, it would be the equivalent of stealing from society's most vulnerable to address their shortcomings in paying the untipped kitchen staff. For me, in my best estimates, this would be on average a 23% pay cut. The DOL should NOT change current regulations regarding servers tips!!

In the interest of fairness, no vote on the Republican tax bill shall be held until Senator elect Doug Jones is sworn in as a member of the Senate.

Another Trump Lie.

If Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans pass their massive tax cuts largely benefiting the richest 1% and wealthy corporations, a big winner will be the pharmaceutical industry, which wields enormous power through a small army of corporate lobbyists. A new report by Americans for Tax Fairness highlights how Big Pharma has price gouged the American people while stashing $500 billion in untaxed profits offshore. And under the Trump tax scam, they will get a tax cut of about $80 BILLION on their offshore profits. Sign the petition today and demand that Congress reject a tax plan that rewards drug companies that rip-off seniors and working families.

To protect the American workers who worked their whole lives and contributed part of their earnings so that they could live, survive and have a secure retirement- and now to have their benefits cut drastically. Many of my friends can barely make ends meet because of these cuts, but the government will bail out the Banks and Wallet Street but not hard-working American citizens-That is a disgrace and shameful!!

If Democrats don't start standing up for working Americans, as opposed to the rich, voter apathy will cede control of our economy, environment, healthcare, society and justice to the wealthy oligarchs. Right now is the time to stop the tax scam, and although the Dems are a minority now, the future success of the party, and our country as a whole, will be decided by whether the tax scam is allowed to proceed.

We have the resources to pay for a great many health, education and retirement services. The rich must pay more not less to help all Americans lift themselves up. That's the right thing to do.

This is about the working class that pays the taxes that keep the "do nothing party" (GOP) in office. It's time to make the White House and Congress start earning minimum wage to see what it is like to be the working class.

No taxpayer money should be used to settle sexual harassment lawsuits by ANY politician. All previous settlements should be disclosed to the American people and any taxpayer money that was used for this should be IMMEDIATELY refunded by said politician(s).

In the early hours of December 2, Senate Republicans voted almost entirely down party lines for a massively corrupt scam designed to finance enormous tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and large corporations at the expense of working families. Tennessee Senator Bob Corker was the lone Republican to oppose the bill. Every Democrat voted no. In doing so, they have taken a pivotal step towards redistributing wealth upwards and further stratifying income inequality for the next decade, at least. In fact, they fell over themselves for this bill. For example: Sens. Daines and Johnson abandoned working class families in their states to negotiate tax breaks that benefit...wait for it...their own, personal interests; Sen. Murkowski voted to end cancer treatments for Medicare patients in order to destroy wilderness that indigenous Alaskans rely on and have worked hard to protect; Sen. Collins took a promise as binding for...no one is really sure what she gained by believing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at his word but she definitely helped strip away a crucial portion of Obamacare; Sen. Flake decided that corporate tax breaks were more important than his career-long dedication to lowering the deficit. The list goes on. Senate Republicans rushed an unpopular bill with devastating consequences for the everyday people they represent. McConnell didn't even slow down enough to allow senators to read the legislation before voting. Once again, they have proven themselves amoral and contemptible. Add your name: Shame on Senate Republicans. The tax plan proves once again that Republicans are unfit to govern.

The Senate's rush to vote on a lengthy bill that would not even be permitted to be read in its entirety before voting, a motion made and denied, is a prime example of why We the People are fed up with our Congress who refuse to listen to their constituents. It is evident that a "win at any costs" is more important to Congress than the substance of that bill and who it will hurt. Any Tax Reform Bill that sunsets for individuals while tax breaks remain in perpetuity for Corporations will not be supported by us, the people. While reducing the tax rates for corporations is said to create jobs, a statement not supported by most economists and not agreed upon by the CEOs of major corporations as they admit to using their tax savings for dividend payouts and corporate stock buybacks. There must be a guarantee or they should not receive the benefit and certainly not permanently. The tax breaks for corporations should be as small as individuals, no more, and there should be a guarantee that corporations that take advantage of these tax breaks will have to demonstrate job creations by the same percentage. We do not support an increase in the standard deduction while eliminating the personal exemption which negates families of 4+. The bill should not include any repeal any part of the ACA. A tax bill should only be permitted if the CBO scores it with a net zero cost.
