Hunter --

Who will decide if your taxes increase in just 22 days?
A few dozen members of the House of Representatives,
that's who.

Cutting taxes for the middle class shouldn't be difficult,
especially when Republicans claim they agree with the
President on the issue. But some Republicans are still
holding middle-class tax cuts hostage simply because they
want to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires.

Here's what's going on right now: President Obama is asking
Congress to move forward on a plan that would prevent 98
percent of American families from paying higher taxes next
year. The Senate has passed that bill, and the President is
ready to sign it -- but the Republican leadership in the
House of Representatives won't even bring the bill to the
floor for a vote. House Democrats have filed a petition
that would force a vote if it attracts 218 signatures.

If a bill has enough votes to pass, Congress should vote on it
and pass it. It's a pretty simple proposition. And every
Member of Congress who hasn't signed on to keep taxes low
for the middle class needs to hear from you.

and make sure they contact their Republican representative:

Let's get one thing straight: If your taxes go up,
Republicans will have made a conscious choice to let that
happen. They'll have missed the opportunity to prevent it,
just to cut taxes for the wealthy.

Republicans need to stop using the middle class as a
bargaining chip. If they fail to act, a typical
middle-class family of four will see a $2,200 tax hike
starting in a few short weeks. Middle-class families could
face some tough financial decisions simply because
Republicans didn't want to ask the wealthiest 2 percent of
Americans to pay their fair share.

That's not what President Obama and you campaigned on, and
that's not what millions of Americans voted for just one
month ago.

We know we can affect change in Washington when we raise
our voices together. So pick up the phone and make a few calls.
Republicans in the House need to hear from their constituents.
