No Taxation Of E-Commerce In ColoradoThe taxing of e-commerce in Colorado, which is under intense debate in the legislature, is a job killer and is driving many large on-line companies to pull out of Colorado or refuse to base their operations or distribution centers here. Very few states attempt to tax e-commerce, knowing that to do so would stifle and restrict growth in an ever more critical area of the US economy.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christopher Savin

Coca-Cola should cut all business ties with Chick-Fil-A!Coca-Cola has received a top rating of 100 percent from the Human Rights Campaign for its performance regarding workplace policies for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender associates. You also do business with Chick-Fil-A, who has gone on record that they don’t support this cause and actually DO support causes that work to oppose this issue. Not only do they agree with a ban on same sex marriage, they donate money to these causes. We see this partnership as a double standard and we believe that, if your reputation as a fair minded company is genuine, you will stop doing business with this company. Show the world that Coca-Cola can put its money where its mouth is and cut all business ties with Chick-Fil-A.1,115 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Shawn Collins

Require Trade Partners to Meet Labor, Safety, Environmental StandardsFree trade agreements like NAFTA and CAFTA have decimated the US manufacturing base in large part because many of our trade partners operate without the protections for workers rights, safety, or a decent wage. Many also aren't subject to environmental standards we respect, like the Clean Air Act. With a fair playing field, we can better compete and bring more manufacturing jobs back to the US, as well as improve environmental, labor and safety standards worldwide.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ron Sokol

Employees against billion dollar companies (Ford Motors)Ford Motors have employed one thousand and more new workers, but with lower wages, and limited health care. The new workers are on the most difficult jobs and get paid not half but a their less than the older seniority workers. To this date seniority workers have made $60,000 and this just the middle of the year 2012, lower seniority workers and new hires are just now getting to $19,000 they have made half of 2012; this is not fair and this should change. The UAW is aware of this but the don't do anything about it, but sell these workers hopes and dreams of this changing. The other issue is the fact that the Chicago, Illinois is operating like we live in a third world country. Employees have to work in inhuman conditions; such as the plant being120° to 140° and the people have to work 10.7 hours in this heat, plus the workers are not allowed to seat when the line stop, workers have to work with big roaches and rats. Employees who are injured are made to do jobs that hurt them more to the point that they have to have several surgeries. Ford Motors have their own doctor and nurses in the plant and the throw out their employees doctor restrictions and that's even after the injury is found to be work related. This company has let it be known to their employees that they do not care about their safety, health or their family. And a medical lawsuit means nothing to a company who has billions. They look at these lawsuits and dish out the bare minimum to a employee who is injured for the rest of their lifesaver. This has to stop, so I am asking people to read do research and you will find out all this is true about Ford Motors and other American made companies. Please help me and others stop these companies from operating on USA soil in this manner.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shirley Sullivan-payton
