Repeal the $15.7 billion tax increase for working families that strips generational wealth.These defined contribution plans became popular as a way for workers to save for their retirements by investing small amounts of money each year in a tax-deferred account using pre-tax money. When the retiree started taking distributions, the distributions were counted as ordinary income for tax purposes. Upon the death of the retiree, the beneficiaries of the defined contribution plan would have to take the required minimum distribution every year and pay taxes on that distribution as ordinary income. Because these defined contribution plans would continue to grow tax-deferred, the distributions could continue for decades and could be passed on to the heirs of the beneficiaries. This was a great way for workers to acquire savings and pass those savings and the resultant income on to their children and grandchildren thus creating generational wealth. This changed when the revenue provision of the SECURE ACT passed. Now, the distribution period is shortened to ten years. The effects of this change are two-fold. First, workers can no longer provide long-term savings and income to their children and grandchildren. Second, because the distribution period is shortened, more money is distributed so more money is taxed. Furthermore, the increased distribution will more than likely push the beneficiary into a higher tax bracket. The rich get to leave their kids over $11,000,000 tax free with no restrictions. The working class get to leave their kids a tax increase. Furthermore, the rich get a $1 trillion tax cut over ten years because of the Trump Tax Act. This tax cut helped increase the federal deficit by 26% from 2018 to 2019. The rich get a $1 trillion tax cut. The working class get a $15.7 billion tax increase. REPEAL THE REVENUE PROVISION OF THE SECURE ACT THAT IS A $15.7 BILLION TAX INCREASE FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Perricone

National Media - Stop preemptive TV coverage of every Trump public addressIt is important to limit pre-emptive coverage of the president's speeches in the name of fairness since other presidential candidates do not get the benefit of free coverage every time they make a speech. It is important because "breaking news" media coverage that interrupts regular programming gives the president's speeches a weight of importance and veracity that is not necessarily intended or deserved. It is important because we're frankly tired of being forced to suffer commentary that is negative, opinionated, ad hominem, and not important to the good of the country.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S.

Investigate Senator Ron Johnson for interfering in 2020 electionElection interference is unacceptable. This needs to end. Furthermore, 75% of Americans demanded a fair Impeachment Trial and I, along with many other Wisconsin Constituents wrote and/or called Ron Johnson DAILY to demand he vote according to the will of Wisconsin...and he not only never responded nor acknowledged ANY of these demands, he voted in his own interest instead. Ron Johnson needs to resign and be investigated for ethics violations.446 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Ritter

Tell the DNC: It's time to change Iowa's role in the primariesThe Iowa caucuses were deeply flawed long before any app was introduced – and now is our opportunity to do something about it. The caucuses discriminate against people with disabilities, people who work at night, parents (especially women) who need to care for children or elders. And, of course, giving Iowa such an outsized role in our primaries further silences the voices of people of color and city-dwellers who are already marginalized by our political structures.203 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ady Barkan

Trump’s travel costs since June 2018 to Jan 2019 totaled $3,199,188.30 Report by Judicial WatchOur national debt is out of control. His travel has racked up millions of taxpayer dollars and has benefited his organization expeditiously. The previously administration spent $70 million on travel over eight years! He has no conscience when it comes to spending others money. All of us are paying for him to attend Republican rallies and that should be paid for by his party. Not independents and democrats. It's time to open the books for Americans to see these expenses and the appropriations committee to reign in these excessive expenses to start.285 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ann Marie

Increase Penalties for Poaching in FloridaWhile the Florida sport and commercial fishing community is extremely appreciative of the efforts of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's efforts, it is quite unlikely that even a majority percentage of violators are caught in the act. Clearly, the current structure of fines and jail time are not enough of a deterrent and a stronger deterrent is necessary to help maintain our fisheries as the population of our state continues to increase.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Brown

Save our DemocracyThe recent first time in history vote by 51 Republican Senators to disallow witnesses, testimony, or pertinent documents in an impeachment trial after taking an oath to be fair and impartial has shown that we need a quick remedy to remove violations as stipulated in the petition. The blatant and dishonest violation of their oath should be remedied by removal from office. Their actions endanger our Republic.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Conway
