  • PAY IT BACK
    The surplus monies that workers and employers paid into the Social Security Trust Fund was borrowed and used by the government for other purposes. Now they want to revise and reduce Social Security benefits that we, the taxpayers, have already paid for. Before there are any plans to revamp the future of Social Security or modify benefits, the Federal government must first PAY BACK all of the surplus monies it borrowed from the Social Security Trust Fund.

  • No anti-trust exemption for medical insurance industry!
    Tha talk is all about lowering healthcare costs, but nobody is attacking the root cause. The medical insurance rates go up by double-digits every year, because there is no competition in the industry. The competing corporations (BC/BS, United Healthcare, etc...) can legally conspire to raise costs and divide up states like a pie. Currently, it's perfectly legal! Let's remove the anti-trust exemption and make them compete for our business just like the car companies or airlines. Remove the anti-trust exemption!

  • Get Corporate Money out of Politics
    The Citizen's United ruling has turned our election system upside down. Now, a few multi-millionaires and corporate interests can determine the outcome of our elections. If we do not put a stop to this, our glorious experiment in democracy is dead.

  • Show me your tax returns
    Mitt Romney is refusing to release his tax returns, which is fine, except if you're trying to become the president of the United States. In such cases, I think it is imperative that the people know exactly how you have conducted yourselves with respect to our tax code whether or not you find them to be fair. A great leader must first and foremost be willing to abide by the laws of the people whom he hopes to lead
