• Congress: Trade your allegience to Grover Norquist for an allegience to the American People
    Many members of congress signed a pledge to follow Grover Norquist's instructions when voting on policy matters, even though Grover Norquist is not an elected official. I believe that members of Congress should pledge to work for the American people instead. Pledging away all your future votes to some private citizen's command, thereby giving up your right to think for yourself, is simply not the American way.

  • Believe in America? Then bank in America.
    If a President's financial interests are not aligned with its citizens then there is a conflict of interest and that may cause harm to the nation in the future. Mitt Romney must be asked to repatriate all his foreign holdings to the US.

  • Fight the Grover Norquist No-Tax Pledge
    Most Republicans in Congress have signed a pledge, promulgated by Grover Norquist, that they will not vote to raise taxes of any kind under any circumstances. Such a pledge is contrary to good governance, and has crippled efforts to enact progressive legislation and policies. Most economists strongly believe that a mix of tax increases and spending reductions will be necessary to deal with the massive Federal deficit, and to preserve supports for the disadvantaged. We are urging all West Virginia candidates for Congress to refuse to sign this destructive pledge, or to repudiate it if they have already signed it.

  • It is time to be wiser: End the US embargo against Cuba, Now!
    For over 50 years the US embargo against Cuba has been an emotionally manipulated foreign policy that can not be any longer legally, politically, historically or economically justified. The atavistic perpetuation of this unintelligent foreign policy, perpetuated for over 50 years, has damaged our efficiency and perception as the World Leader

  • Consider the Child's Future
    My family has taken in several foster children in the past, several of them from mothers who cannot afford to take care of their child. Before politicians decide to turn down a women's right to a choice, they should assure that there are enough social services in place so that child won't be raise in poverty.

  • Reject the No Tax Pledge in West Virginia
    Grover Norquist is pressuring politicians to sign a no tax pledge against the interest of everyday people. Taxes pay for things like roads, schools, local infrastructure, police officers and fire fighters, everything that everyday hard working families have come to rely and depend on. A no tax pledge would hurt working families because it would starve the government of badly needed funding and force budget cuts to all the services the vast majority of West Virginians use everyday.

  • Just Say "No!" to the "No taxes" pledge
    We've recently heard from folks in South Carolina who want all candidates for Congress in the state to refuse to sign the Grover Norquist no-tax pledge. All but a handful of Republicans in Congress have signed the pledge the pledge, making it impossible to get anything done and driving us towards a fiscal cliff.

  • Rick Scott is hurting working Floridians–again!
    Obamacare makes it possible for working people who do not have employer-provided health care to acquire affordable health insurance. Each of us knows someone who is struggling with this devastating problem. Governor Rick Scott continues to block available federal funding for working Floridians without insurance. It is up to us to stop Scott from stopping health care for those who need it most.
