Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.

The Supreme Court has taken a hard turn in favor of the 1% being able to buy elections. The Congress can override this trend, in favor of real democracy, and return power to the 99% at the ballot box. This power of Congress is already in the Constitution.

The Michigan Health Exchange will affect our healthcare for generations. Senate Bill 693 is a "Clearinghouse - Non-Profit" health exchange design that would forbid the exchange from negotiating better health insurance rates for us and the exchange would be owned by a private company and benefit insurance companies. An "Active Purchaser - Quasi Governmental or State Run" health exchange design would be owned and controlled by us, and individuals and businesses could be combined into a large group. The exchange could then negotiate better rates for us, lowering the cost of healthcare. This type of health exchange would benefit the businesses and people of Michigan.
