It has been 147 days since the House of Representatives passed H.R. 8 on a strong bipartisan vote of 256 to 171 to postpone all of the "fiscal cliff" tax hikes for one year and set in place a process for fundamental tax reform in 2013. The Senate still refuses to act.
Please click here NOW to sign our urgent petition to the Senate to act on H.R. 8 and stop ALL of the fiscal cliff tax hikes!
Even if Senate Democrats insist on tax hikes, their refusal to act on H.R.8 is unforgivable. The U.S. Constitution is crystal clear in Article I, Section 7: "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."

I hope you're enjoying the Christmas season, and of course it would be wonderful if politics could be the furthest thing from our minds right now. But we're now just 6 days away from the largest tax hike in American history -- and the Senate has refused to act on legislation to stop it for a shocking 147 days. They won't even bring the bill up to amend it! The Senate will be back in Washington tomorrow. Please take a moment to urge the Senate to act now.
Yours truly,
