Help Set the Progressives United Agenda

Members of the Progressives United community are sharing their ideas about what the Progressives United agenda should be and where we need to take the fight against big corporate interests in our politics.

How can we broaden the fight against corporate political influence? How can we bring what started in Wisconsin to the fight against corporate influence nationwide?

Where do you see the corruptive influence of corporate power?

      • Raise corporate taxes or close corporate loopholes/tax shelters

        A new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows that corporate tax revenues are at historic lows as a percentage of GDP while corporate profits have increased. The U.S. corporate tax code includes a host of special provisions that significantly reduce the taxes that most corporations owe. In addition to being economically inefficient, these provisions are expensive: in its 2007 report, the Treasury Department estimated the revenue loss from corporate tax preferences at more than $1.2 trillion over ten years.

        • Pass the DISCLOSE Act

          Congress needs to pass the DISCLOSE Act to shine a bright light on the secret contributions from corporate treasuries which the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission has allowed.

            • Redirect the attack from teachers back to banks and Wall St where it belongs

              The Rep. have cleverly turned the discussion from thoughts of penalties against those who brought us this recession toward teachers and others who have only suffered as a result of the greed. We need to take back the discussion!

                  Recall petitions have been withdrawn on all Wisconsin Republican senators. We need to focus efforts on removing them from office.

                    • universal healthcare

                      Fight for single-payer universal health care for everyone in the country. This will eliminate things like medicare fraud, big insurance companies collaborating to keep costs high, give everyone the same quality of care, reduce the burden on overworked emergency rooms, and generally drop the skyrocketing costs associated with getting good care.

                            • Big Oil. We need a fair playing field for alternative energy. This is the future of our economy.

                              With big oil's grasp on the energy industry in Washington, only an informed public can push legislators to level the playing field for growing sectors of the energy industry. It does not stop with eliminating big oil subsidies. By aggressively pursuing incentives for emerging alternative energy sources, we will create new industries, thousands of jobs, national energy independence, and a better world. If America pursues this now, we can be assured that no other nation will beat our technological prowess, and the future of energy technology can belong to us.
