We have wonderful news!

Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Bernard Sanders (I-VT) and Whitehouse (D-RI) sent a “Dear Colleague” letter requesting Senate co-sponsors for the Responsible Estate Tax Act, which would create a progressive estate tax with graduated rates. This is a major victory for those us fighting to rebalance the tax system.

We need your timely help:

CONTACT BOTH YOUR SENATORS TODAY: Ask them to co-sponsor the Responsible Estate Tax Action in the Senate. Call the Senate Switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 to be connected to your Senators. Let us know when you’ve made the calls by replying to this email.

Call even if you think your Senator is a “lost cause.” Senators only hear from opponents of the estate tax and rarely hear from supporters. Urge them not to compromise by passing the Lincoln-Kyl version of the estate tax that would gut the law and give multi-millionaires and billionaires additional tax cuts.
