Moveon.org is circulating an online petition to save the estate tax. This petition is very timely, as the Senate is expected to hold a vote on the estate tax when they return from their August recess on September 6. The Moveon.org alert says:

"Responsible Democratic senators have been able to hold the line on the Estate Tax for some time, but now a few Democrats are starting to waver. They continue to feel heat from President Bush and the tax-cut lobby, but they haven't heard from you. That's why we're launching an emergency petition to let the Senate know that we're paying attention and are ready to hold them accountable. If we can gather 200,000 signatures by next week, we will deliver them to senators in key states."
