Jobs: Helping the Worker and the CorporationThe purpose of this petition is keeping jobs in the US, and making a level playing field for the skilled laborers that reside here legally and illegally. Currently in Texas, an open shop state, things are not so great for many skilled workers. Halliburton, which recently was headquartered in Houston, moved to Dubai and also cut the hiring of American skilled labor. Does this company deserve tax-breaks? There are many other corporations who have used the same strategy. Headquartering in the US, but doing their business in other countries. Perry Homes, major home-building outfit in Houston, subcontracts labor to build arguably substandard homes. The majority of the workers are here illegally, making substandard wages without benefits or having the advantage of Social Security, or Medicare, even though they may be paying for it. These folks, even though I sympathize with their plight, are depressing the job market. If they were somehow able to work legally, they wouldn't be taken advantage of so easily and their wages and benefits would go up. Tax revenue would increase, the size of homes would decrease because of the per foot cost. Bad thing? I don't know. But those who hire illegals illegally to the detriment of legal American workers don't deserve any tax breaks.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Cockerham

Stop the BriberyOur Constitution, Article two section four, makes it clear: "Bribery, Treason, and other high crimes" by all civil officers from the President on down, are against the law. Yet, Bribery is practiced every day in the halls of Congress with impunity by so called lobbyists giving our civil officers money to pass a law that will serve the lobbyists' employers5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Norman

Speedy Pay to Doctors from Insurance Companies.Doctors and medical institutions should not have to wait long periods of time for pay from Insurance companies. Insurance companies engaged to supplement medicare have a captured audience of clients and they often delay payment for services for close to a year causing credit issues, etc. I am sure that the insurance companies don't sit on these large sums of money and don't invest it to get huge financial returns.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Latimore

Campaign Finance ReformTaking the money out of politics would take the influence of corporations and billionares out of our government. The corruption in Congress is all caused by political campaign contributions that buy influence and congressional votes. This is not the way the founding fathers wanted it to be and the majority of the people.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lloyd Marshall
