Citizen Works

Talking points:
Crack Down on Corporate Crime: Make all executives who profit from corporate crime do jail time and give up their ill-gotten gains.
Open up the Deep Pockets: Repeal the laws that shield accountants, bankers, lawyers and other accomplices in corporate crime from being sued for collusion.
Debarment: Stop giving companies that break the law any government contracts.
Employee rights: Strengthen pension reforms and whistleblower rights so that employees who come forward when they know a crime is being committed are protected from reprisal.
Patriotism and taxes: Stop corporate tax traitors from moving their headquarters to Bermuda and other offshore tax havens to avoid paying taxes.
Limit the Rights of Citizenship to Real People: Introduce this 11-word amendment to the U.S. Constitution: "A corporation is not a person under the United States Constitution."
Consumer Protection: Enact a Financial Consumers' Protection Act to establish Financial Consumer Associations (FCAs), state-chartered, nonprofit organizations with full-time staffs that can help consumers band together to serve as watchdogs on financial issues.
