Since we
started our national
campaign with Senator Fred
Thompson to have the Bush
Tax Cuts fully renewed, we
have made enormous progress.
In fact, the Washington
Post reports in Friday's
paper "With the
economy rapidly weakening,
some senior Democrats are
having second thoughts about
raising taxes on the
nation's wealthiest families
and are pressing party
leaders to consider
extending the full array of
Bush administration tax
cuts, at least through next
year."
As you know, we at the
League of American Voters,
working with Senator Fred
Thompson, took the lead on
this issue, including airing
TV commercials across the
United States.
These ads have had a
powerful effect.
Millions have
heard our message and over
250,000 Americans have
signed our petition to renew
the Bush tax cuts.
Congress is hearing your
voice!
Just months ago Obama,
Pelosi and Reid said they
planned to only partially
renew the Bush tax cuts.
This would have simply
been disastrous to the U.S.
economy.
One major British
economist formerly with the
Bank of England has
warned of a full blown
depression if the Bush Tax
Cuts are not renewed.
But due to our national
efforts, Democrats realize
the American people won't
put up with an automatic tax
hike at the end of this
year.
The Washington
Post says that economist
Mark Zandi, a key adviser to
House Speaker Pelosi, has
advised the Democrats to
fully renew the Bush tax
cuts for at least one year.
"With 9.5 percent
unemployment - which is
clearly going to move higher
- raising taxes is a gamble
that is unnecessary," Zandi
said.
But the Post says many
far left Democrats still
want the Bush cuts to fully
expire.
So we need to continue
our efforts.
We are still airing our
national ads, but we need to
do more.
It's likely Congress will
take up the Bush Tax Cuts
this September. We need to
prepare now and get our
message out to millions
more.

seen our powerful ad with

But most importantly help
us put Fred's ad on more TV
stations and networks across
the country.

P.S. Dick Morris says the
League of American Voters is
"one of the most effective
organizations in America.
They deserve support." We
have a unique chance to
prove ourselves again, and
get the Bush tax cuts
renewed. And next year we
will lead the fight with a
new Congress to make these
cuts permanent. But
we can't do it without your
help. Help us today —
