Said on the White House Contact Page - Taxes

Left on the White House Contact page, under policy issue - Taxes:

Extending the unfunded Bush tax cuts to the rich people who don't need it while talking about freezing middle class working people's wages is an OUTRAGE. We NEED the Middle Class. They did not cause the economic crisis.

Listen to Dr. Howard Dean -- hear what he said on Rachel Maddow Monday night. Listen to the POLLS. People don't want to extend tax cuts past the first $250,000 in income.

We need a strong White House who tells the truth and sticks up for WE the PEOPLE rather than seeking to please Republicans who only want to please the rich and powerful and make YOU a one term president. Please stand up for the other 98%. Be Franklin Delano Roosevelt. We need FDR and stimulus to the REST of us.

Chamber of Commerce vs The People

Thom Hartmann and others have been talking about it. I googled and found several good articles about how the Chamber President Tom Donohue is determined to spend over $60 million in the 2008 Elections to defeat populist candidates. (Why do you think Big Media refuses to cover John Edwards?) For a good overview, see the AFL-CIO weblog piece Chamber of Commerce vs. Populists. Donahue said, "We plan to build a grassroots business organization so strong that when it bites you in the butt, you bleed."
