• Stop Tax Loopholes
    Background: By using tax loopholes, America's largest corporation, General Electric, paid no taxes (that's right, zero dollars) in 2010 on profits of $14.2 billion while claiming a tax benefit (loophole) of $3.2 billion. This isn't an unusual case - this is fairly typical of what big business gets away with in the United States.

    Our Democracy has become threatened by corporate, PAC, and lobbyist undue influence on elections and politicians.

  • Get Jim Cantiello to interview Chris Colfer, and Darren Criss
    Almost one year since the beginning of Klaine, an international tour, and another season underway...and yet no Darren Criss and Chris Colfer interview. Look at your life, look at your choices, and ask yourself: Is this fair? No. It's not. So let's do something about it! These two individuals are one of the most, if not THE most unique, ground-breaking, beautiful, and organic couple on TV. In real life they are talented beyond compare, they influence and are role models to millions of people. With their charisma, dedication, and heart put into everything they believe in, its not hard to see why so many people love them. The world has been deprived of this interview for too long! That ends now!

    Don't let the Chicago movement be forced out of Chicago. Let those who occupy the streets have a base where they can stay, regardless that the park arbitrarily closes at 11 p.m.

  • Ask the FDA to require recyclable Rx bottles
    3.7 billion prescriptions were filled in retail pharmacies in the United States in 2010 (1). That is an awful lot of plastic. Unfortunately, the bottles used for these prescriptions are often not recyclable (2). Many states also prohibit pharmacies from reusing prescription bottles (3).

  • Representation Taxation
    Corporations must employ American workers in order to receive any tax relief from the taxpayer. If they hold on to windfall profits without building industry or outsource for cheaper labor, then they lose every tax loophole.

  • *Congressional Reform Act of 2011*
    This is one idea that really should be passed around. I received it by email and it said that Warren Buffet is the author. While I can not confirm that, this is a really good set of corrections to the current Congress, and I submit it as a petition. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, please sign this petition.
