Middle Class Families Need Your Help

In these economic times, working class families are shouldering the nation’s tax burden more than ever. Why then, are tax cuts which overwhelmingly favor the wealthiest of Americans, still in place after 9 years, stalling economic recovery? President Obama’s proposal to cut taxes to the middle class will benefit millions of families across the country, yet faces stiff opposition by Republican activists. The Bush tax cuts are essentially writing a check to wealthy Americans to the tune of 830 billion dollars, while the middle class foots the bill. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH) along with Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) and Alan Grayson (D-FL) are leading the charge, campaigning to end favoring the wealthy over everyday Americans, to choose Main Street over Wall Street for a change. They have drafted a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asking that the fight continues to implement tax cuts for the middle class and to urge Congress’ support before adjourning in October.

Millions of families across the country depend on this reform. Click here to add your name to Mary Jo Kilroy's letter to Speaker Pelosi calling for an up-or-down vote on the Bush tax cuts today.
