  • Joint Committee on Taxation: Raise Interest Tax Deduction on Education Loans (1098-E)
    Please, join me in asking lawmakers to increase the amount of income tax deductions (1098-E) on student loans. Currently, the maximum amount is $2500. As a federal education loan recipient, I would like to see the deduction doubled to $5000. It provides debtors an incentive to pay off their loans as quickly as possible. I strongly believe this will benefit responsible individuals who wish to get the student loan burden off their backs.

  • Senator Durbin: Protect Social Security, Medicare, And Medicaid from Benefit Cuts and End Bush Ta...
    If a deal is not reached before Dec. 31, the Bush tax cuts will expire for everyone, and severe cuts to vital programs will occur. It's important that only the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% end, and that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are protected from benefit cuts. As a key player in the current fiscal talks in Washington, D.C. we are demanding that Illinois Senator Dick Durbin protect these programs and insist the wealthy pay their fair share.

  • Please avoid the fiscal cliff by any means and do you job.
    We all have to live within our means and make budgets to pay our bills for our homes, utilities and borrowing to buy a car. As elected officials many decisions in the past were make to borrow money for bailing out wall street and wars that were not paid. It time to do your job and figure out a way to pay the country's bill. Just like I cannot walk away from my mortgage, car bill and VISA, you need to do the same and pay the country's bills. To me it is that simple.

  • Tax cuts and Medicare
    Why is congress even considering cuts to Medicare? The taxes have already been paid to support it. If the top 1% or 6% have a lower rate than middle and low income Americans, they should pay at least as much.
