Over 700 Groups Tell Senate To Preserve Estate Tax
by Adam Hughes*, 6/2/2006
Yesterday, over 700 national, state, and local organizations from every state sent a letter to the Senate urging them to reject attempts to repeal or drastically reduce the estate tax. The wide and varied list - from children's, women's and minority rights advocates to health care groups, from religious and labor organizations to tax policy think tanks and citizen action coalitions - represents the broad diversity and majority of Americans who favor retaining the estate tax.
In addition to the overwhelming number of groups, and the millions of Americans they represent, supporting the estate tax, OMB Watch and many coalition partners have sent over 20,000 emails to the Senate in the past two weeks in support of the estate tax. Did you send one of those 20,000?
The Senate plans to vote next week - there's still plenty of time to make your voice heard. Email Your Senators Today and demand they act for fairness and equity - demand they preserve the estate tax.
