Tomorrow is April 15th—Tax Day—and while you and I pay our taxes, the GOP Congress will be voting on H.R. 1105 to repeal the estate tax for millionaires and billionaires. One House Democrat has co-sponsored the legislation, and other Democrats may vote for it too.

Send a message to your Democratic member of Congress today, urging them to vote “no” on this outrageous tax giveaway.

Only households with a net worth of $5.4 million—the top 0.2%—even pay the federal estate tax. If Congress passes H.R. 1105, no one will pay it at all.

At a time of widening inequality between the super-rich and the rest of us, this tax break will cost us $270 billion over the next 10 years. It is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

President Obama says he will veto the bill if it passes Congress, but it’s important that as many House Democrats vote “no” to have his support.

Please sign and send the petition to your Democratic Congressmember, urging them to reject H.R. 1105. Millionaires and billionaires must pay their fair share of taxes.

Keep fighting,
