In hard times like these I can't believe we are even talking about New Taxes! Please visit the site below and send a strong message to Congress to stop this new Food/Soda tax. Very short petition ( takes 1 minute ). You'll thank me later..  Waving

There are only like 14K 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.

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.

Didn't this administration promise no new taxes for the middle class?  This is just another way to squeeze money out of everyone.  Thanks for the link.

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.

 laughing I have to laugh because if I don't it's enough to make you cry with all those new taxes that may be coming our way. Let alone talk of another stimulus.  I know they inherited all this from the previous administration. At some point this new management will have to be accountable for it's actions.

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

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

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

P.S. From time to time, I compile electronic news briefs highlighting key issues and hot topics of particular importance to Floridians. If you'd like to receive these e-briefs, visit my Web site and sign up for them at http://billnelson.senate.gov/news/ebriefs.cfm

That's great that you got a response. I contact my Senators on all the issues that concern me. I just sent them e-mails concerning cap and trade. I think we need to do what we can to let our representatives know how we feel.

I know. But at least it looks like they had to "form" this particular letter to address
the new tax emails. So at least his intern is aware of this ... laughing

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! laughing

The best way to get their attention is to call them. If we flood their lines it does make a difference.
