Stop Tax LoopholesBackground: 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.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Huie

Get Jim Cantiello to interview Chris Colfer, and Darren CrissAlmost 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!1,342 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ofelia Rodriguez

Representation TaxationCorporations 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.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Shear Schrader

*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.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. Straubg
