Stop Holding the Payroll Tax Cut Hostage to Tea Party Demands!
The House GOP just rammed through their radical proposal to hold the payroll tax cut hostage to tea party demands. Their proposal is a radical blow to seniors and middle class families. And it's a gift to billionaires and big oil.
Here are the most outrageous provisions of the Republican plan:
*Requires millions of seniors to pay more for health care.
*Cuts unemployment insurance benefits for one million Americans.
*Tacks on the unrelated, controversial provisions like the Keystone XL Pipeline while cutting environmental air quality standards.
*Lets billionaires and big oil off the hook. They won't pay one more cent under the Republican plan.
The Democrat's plan won't touch Social Security or Medicare, but it will close arcane tax loopholes for the top 1%.
Sign the petition right now to stand with President Obama's veto threat and tell Boehner, Cantor and Republicans to stop holding the payroll tax cut hostage to Tea Party demands.
Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor,
Stop holding the payroll tax cut hostage to Tea Party demands. This bill would save the average American family over $1000 a year.
[Your comments will be added here]Pass the payroll tax cut immediately without touching Social Security or Medicare!
