Do You Believe Corporations That Move Their Headquarters Overseas to Avoid Paying U.S. Taxes Should Get Gov't Contracts?

Bills in House and Senate to Stop Corporations That Have Moved Headquarters Overseas to Avoid Paying U.S. Taxes From Getting Government Contracts;

NOW is the Time To Act!

Bills in the House and Senate

H.R. 1809 "No Contracts For Corporate Deserters Act of 2015 was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives (Congress) by Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro on 4/15/2015. It is currently in the Armed Services Committee. That is why it is NOW that you should contact YOUR Congressman or Congresswoman and call or e-mail them and tell them you support H.R. 1809 and want their support. In your call or e-mail ask them directly "will you support this bill" after you tell them you want it passed. To FIND and/or CONTACT YOUR Congressman or Congresswoman simply go to : https://www.congress.gov/ and enter your zip code. You will be given YOUR Congress Representatives name and contact information. If you send an e-mail you will receive a letter (albeit a form letter) stating your Representatives position, of which you can respond to. You will know if your Representatives supports the bill or not. But more importantly your Representative will know that their constituents are tracking this legislation and that it matters in the next election. Please do this now and contact your friends and share this information. The more calls and e-mails, the better to let our Congressman and Congresswoman that we don't want corporations that move their headquarters overseas to avoid paying taxes get government contracts.

S.169 "No Tax Write-Offs For Corporate Wrongdoers Act was introduced on 1/13/2015 by Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT) and is the equivalent of H.R.1809 in the House of Representatives. Please FIND/CONTACT YOUR U.S. Senators by going to http://senate.gov/. It is not write that corporations put a building in another country and call it their "World Headquarters" and therefore are able to not pay taxes on billions of dollars in profits by doing business in America.

Once registered you can search for legislative bills or simply type the number of the bill in. Below I show screenshots of what you can expect once you register. Please click on the link above, register, and put in your information so that POPVOX will show you your Representatives, then one at a time type in H.R. 1809 and follow through the prompts for "I Support This Bill" and it will register your support in the poll and automatically send YOUR Representatives both in Congress and the Senate a message showing you support the bill, and even let you add your personal comments.
