Thank you. This seemed like a real no-brainer. Now soda/food tax, what is next air?? 

I'll pay a tax on my soda if coke lowers it's sweeps entries from 3 points to 1 point!!

Can you somehow put this as some kind of header on the home page and new sweepstakes pages for those members who don't use the forum.  I know most don't.

I saw it at the bottom of the forum page today and I signed it.

I just put it on twitter.

The count is moving up at a pretty decent pace!

I posted at a site that gets a lot of traffic 

Yes it is  thanks.

This administration and the one before it didn't get the simple economic lesson that when you don't have any money... "Don't Spend!" .  They should be rolling back taxes to stimulate the economy, not kill it with new ones.

Received an email from my Senator today regarding this new tax. We'll have to monitor what his stance is...

====================================================

Dear Mr. Carlos:

Thank you for contacting me regarding tax proposals to fund health care reform. I understand your concerns.

I believe we must carefully consider the full impact of health care-related tax provisions before changes to the nation’s health care system are enacted. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the tax code and most Federal health programs, I will be sharing these concerns with my colleagues as the health care reform effort moves forward.

I am glad that you took the time to send me your thoughts. Be assured that I will keep your views in mind as this matter moves through Congress.

Sincerely,
Senator Bill Nelson

It looks like a form letter that says a whole lot of nothing!

So, you already know how it works.  We're actually friends with Lieberman's gopher although not a fan of his views or Lieberman.  The guy is always getting mugged and has to carry two cell phones with him, because he either loses them or someone mugs him and steals it.  Yes, we're in good hands!

There are only like 23K signed petitions, I was hoping our SA membership can bump this up. We have to let congress know that this is not the time to create new taxes. New jobs we need.

Aye... I posted it on another site.

I suppose my *Founding Member* status carrys half an ant's weight of clout.
