• Senator Cornyn: We have spoken, now fall in line
    The "Fiscal Cliff" negotiations are, once again, an opportunity to attack the social safety net our predecessors worked so hard to achieve. It would sicken me, and I hope you, to have them dismantled on our watch. And, of course, any negotiation that comes along winds up being an opportunity to squeeze in an extension for tax breaks for the wealthiest among us. We need to break this habit by allowing the Bush era tax breaks to expire and extending the breaks to those that can actually feel their impact....US!

  • Rep. Scott Rigell: Drop Norquist anti-tax pledge
    We need for our representatives to drop the Norquist anti-tax pledge and allow the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% to come to an end. Norquist is not relevant to our Congress as it now stands. The Republicans need to understand they were overwhelmingly defeated in this last election because they either don't understand or are not part of middle class America.

  • Eliminate Corporate Welfare. Increase Corporate Taxes!
    Corporations in our country don't pay taxes! When was the last time the government increased their taxes? When will our government stop the tax loopholes, subsidies, and welfare for big business? It affects us all personally! We as individuals pay more in taxes as a result!

  • vote for the middle class tax release
    it is about making sure the middle class continue to receive the tax breaks while the top 2% pay their share. Stop this deadlock from the Republicans. i am sure they do not want to be the reason for this deadlock. Let's apply the pressure to do the "Right Things".

  • Senator Durbin do not sell us out!
    I am a physician and my husband is a lawyer. We have been blessed with good jobs. However, we know that all Americans are not so lucky. I have nephews and nieces who work very hard and barely can make their payments each month. We must maintain our social safety net. There is more to life and humanity than making millions.

  • Save Medicare without raising eligibility age
    Republicans want to raise the eligibility age for Medicare. Reducing eligibility for Medicare is a step in the wrong direction, moving away from universal health care. We can continue providing quality health care for all eligible seniors for decades to come by merely raising the Medicare tax from 1.45% of earnings to 2%. This tiny tax increase (about $250 per year for the median American family) will increase the resources of the Medicare program by 1/3.
