• Reject Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge
    How 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?

  • Senator McCaskill: Stand Against President Obama's Cuts to our Social Safety Nets
    In his budget proposal, President Obama has proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare. As a nation who believes in our social safety nets and the security they offer, we must oppose these proposals with a vengeance. President Obama is going against his promise to protect these programs and we urge Senator McCaskill to stand with us in opposition.

  • Help Big Apple Meat Market
    The Big Apple Meat Market recently reopened in a much smaller space. The vacant site of the old Project FIND Center would perfectly serve the needs of the community and give us back an affordable market with a large space.

  • Help Create Jobs by abolishing the use of credit score information for employment decisions
    Qualified 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!

  • Attain Full Employment Fast
    The 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.
