Jobs for Main Street Not for Wall Street

Bonuses for Wall Street and tax breaks for millionaires haven't fixed our broken economy. We all know someone who has lost their job and can't find work.

The U.S. House has taken a good first step toward addressing the jobs crisis by passing the Jobs for Main Street Act. Now the Senate must act.

Tell the Senate it's time to create jobs for the 15 million unemployed, and put America back to work.

Bonuses for bank execs?

For too long, Wall Street firms, banks, credit card companies, insurers and mortgage companies were allowed to have their way, with no government oversight. Now taxpayers are picking up the tab for the risks taken on Wall Street.

Congress needs to hear from us that enough is enough.

1.5 million people.

A growing coalition of policymakers supports the Employee Free Choice Act, proposed legislation that would ensure workers have a free choice and a fair chance to form a union. Simply put, the Employee Free Choice Act will allow workers once again to choose to form unions without the fear of being fired.

Pass the Employee Free Choice Act.
