CALL TO ACTION: NO MILLIONAIRE TAX CUTS DURING NATIONAL DISASTERS

From United For A Fair Economy:

We urge you to take urgent action to stop the U.S. Senate from voting on

estate tax repeal in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

A devastating hurricane clobbers the Gulf coast. The war in Iraq claims

almost 1,900 American lives with no end in sight in both casualties and

cost. And red ink flows through both short and long term federal deficit

projections.

Yet in the coming days, Senate leaders plan to vote on permanently

abolishing the estate tax, America¹s only levy on concentrations of

inherited wealth.

They want to end the estate tax despite the fact that a new national poll

shows that 59% of Americans from all political parties and incomes favor

estate tax reform, while only 29% favor repeal -- a 2-1 ratio.

Please contact your Senator TODAY. You can reach your Senator by calling

toll free at 1-800-708-9781 or the U.S. Senate Switchboard at

1-202-224-3121, or find their direct phone at:

The message is: In the face of Hurricane Katrina, it is shocking and

inappropriate that Congress would vote for a trillion dollar tax cut for

millionaires and billionaires. Vote NO on ESTATE TAX REPEAL. OPPOSE

FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE COMPROMISES that will GUT the law.
