We'll be gathering at Senator Portman's Cleveland office on Tuesday, 11/28 to speak out against this #TaxScam. OFA is working with national coalition partners to have a pressure event each day this week before the Senate is set to vote, so we appreciate you attending as many events as possible to help make our voices heard!
Our goals for these office visits are:
Let your member of Congress know that eliminating deductions middle-class people count on just to make room for repealing the estate tax for millionaires is wrong-headed.
Make Congress stop their crusade to give tax cuts to millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations. Common-sense says that everyone should have to pay their fair share in taxes. Cutting taxes for people that don’t need it and expecting somehow prosperity will trickle down to the rest of us hasn’t worked in the past, and it won’t work now.
Let your neighbors know that this scheme is irresponsible, blowing a massive hole in the federal budget and adding $1.5 trillion to the deficit, setting up the draconian cuts to essential programs like Medicaid and Medicare that Paul Ryan has pushed for years.
