RE: Tax cuts for rich. What about a signing statement and what about
a big petition? If one of the big groups started a petition and we made it go viral we could get a whole lot of signatures in time for them to act on the bill.

I think the petition should make a statement about how he PROMISED to not allow the tax breaks for the wealthy go through. Besides there is no money for a pay/go for the wealthy because it represent too much money. A pay/go could be made for the middle class easily.

All he has to do is make the Republicans come up with a way to pay for the whopping tax cuts and if they can't.

And I remember all those signing statements the bush made. Where are ours?d also where is it to send these ideas so they get seriously looked at



I am so pissed I could piss.

1. Unfortunately, that's not how signing statements work.
The President would have to claim that the cuts were unconstitutional (and he would therefore refuse to execute them)... And that's a tough sell.

2. What about the petition? Who do I contact? Someone got Keith
Olmbermann back in 3 days because of how they did the petition.
