It’s time we finally say “NO” to Enron and Haliburton and the Carlisle Group. And it’s time we say “YES” to American working families.

1. All Americans should have the health insurance that Congress currently enjoys.

2. The minimum wage should be raised.

3. Corporate taxes should be re-structured to remove all incentive for outsourcing American jobs.

4. We should better protect the environment from industrial polluters.

5. Managing the budget deficit while advancing these goals should be a higher priority than tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-rich.

Demand this Pledge from all candidates for public office!
