I am on the DailyKOS mailing list. I just received this.
A "deal" has been announced to extend all of the Bush tax cuts–including those for millionaires. Some deal.
But the fight isn’t over. Sign the petition–oppose the deal.
In the Senate, Bernie Sanders has promised to filibuster, and Dick Durbin has said "there is a group [of progressives] that may walk."
In the House, several members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, led by Rep. Peter Welch, have already stated their opposition. The White House is so worried about support for the deal that it is sending Vice President Joe Biden to Capitol Hill to try and sell it.
The bottom line is that this is not a done deal. With the Daily Kos community voting 3-1 in opposition to the deal, we need to show our support for the progressive members of Congress who are not caving. Give them that support now by signing our petition, and sending words of encouragement. We’ll deliver your signatures at the end of the week.
