Call both your Senators and your Representative today and tell them:

Support President Obama’s proposal to allow most of the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent — couples making more than $250,000 and singles making more than $200,000 — to expire.

Oppose any extension of more tax cuts for the rich — even a temporary one.

Call the U.S. Capitol at 888-744-9958 (TOLL FREE)

The Senate will likely vote this week and the House may vote soon after. They need to hear from you NOW. 

The toll-free number is provided by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF), a coalition of organizations including Citizens for Tax Justice and other advocacy organizations, think tanks, labor unions, small business associations and watchdog groups.
 
To learn more about how President Obama’s proposal compares to the Congressional Republicans’ proposal to extend all the tax cuts (even for the rich), check out these publications from Citizens for Tax Justice:
