Give Returning Troops the Care They've Earned - Close a Corporate Tax Loophole

Target: Governor Arnold, Schwarzenegger
Sponsored by: Angelides 2006
Did you know there is a California tax loophole that lets some corporations do business in California and elsewhere without being taxed? 

ThatÂ’s right. Because of one loophole, some companies can do business in California and avoid paying taxes anywhere!

And did you know that by closing this loophole, the state would save enough to offer a refundable health insurance tax credit to California National Guard members returning home from overseas duty and their families?

These soldiers have left their lives and families behind to defend our country. It is time to make sure they are protected against the financial risk of sickness and injury when they return home.

Sign the petition below and tell Arnold Schwarzenegger to do the right thing: close the corporate tax loophole and provide health insurance for our Guard members.

deadline: 7-25-2006

Dear Gov. Schwarzenegger:

It is simply wrong that when California National Guard members return to the U.S. after being deployed overseas they are not entitled to any health insurance.

Despite leaving their families and risking their lives to defend America, when they return home, thousands of California National Guard members are unprotected against the financial risk of disease and injury.

Simply by closing one unfair corporate tax loophole that lets income of some multi-state and multinational corporations go untaxed entirely, you could create enough revenue to offer yearly refundable tax credits to returned California National Guard members for them to purchase health insurance.

It is both patriotic and fair to salute our troops and their families by offering them access to basic health care.

I urge you to do the right thing and protect the interests of California's citizen soldiers.

Sincerely,
