Reject Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledgeHow is Grover Norquist, who has not been elected to legislate a thing, being allowed to dictate policy? Supposedly, legislators are elected to look out for the American people. Taking crumbs from the "least of these," while allowing the rich to continue to get richer, is a shameful contradiction of this principle. How long will we allow our government to be bought by the highest bidder?2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary Jordan Smith

Help Create Jobs by abolishing the use of credit score information for employment decisionsQualified job applicants should not be judged by a credit score in order to gain employment. This is a terrible practice. Someone had some hard luck like illness, divorce, job loss in the economic downturn lost their home, car, fell behind on bills. Now they get a double gut punch when they apply for a job and don't get it based on credit. This has to stop!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenneth Strzepka

Attain Full Employment FastThe goal is to get the US government to use this simple new type of economic plan, fully displayed at ( www.econostan.com/8701.html ), to relieve unemployment. It will jump start the economy, quickly produce full employment, and reduce the national debt, with no inflation. Plan Summary: RAISE business taxes for 3 years by suspending business tax code advantages and simultaneously giving the businesses tax credits roughly equal to the tax increase IF they expand or modernize their US business. Business heads will put their money into their businesses rather than pay taxes so they will have to hire to get the tax credit. New employees spend more than when they were unemployed so demand increases. Businesses expand so they can supply more (and earn more). So the ratio of supply to demand stays roughly the same and therefore prices do also. National Debt is unchanged since no government money is spent. If the tax credit is unused then spend the tax receipts on infrastructure.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stanley Sherman
