Take a deep breath. The Huffington Post reported this morning that President Obama is ready to cave again to Republicans -- this time on the Bush tax cuts he campaigned against in 2008.
As Republicans boast that their #1 priority is to defeat Obama in 2012, we've seen nothing but capitulation and talk of "compromise" from the President since Election Day.
It's time for us to ask: President Obama, ARE YOU KIDDING? Fight the Republicans already!
Sign our petition telling President Obama that Americans want him to fight the Bush tax cuts for millionaires -- and that Democrats will keep losing if he keeps caving.
PCCC co-founder Adam Green will be on The Ed Show tonight at 6:15pm Eastern to announce our momentum. The White House and Democratic leaders will be watching. So please join 81,000 others and sign now.
Make no mistake, this petition is a rallying cry.
Our days of "trusting" that Democratic leaders have some brilliant plan are over. We saw the results last Tuesday when many Obama voters were not inspired enough to return to the polls. If we don't fight on this issue, Democrats could lose even more seats in 2010.
This afternoon, the White House insisted in an email to the Washington Post that they support letting tax cuts for the wealthy expire, but in the same breath say "we are open to compromise". That's exactly our point. The White House and Democratic leadership need to fight for popular progressive change -- and win.
Sign the petition telling Obama to fight the Bush tax cuts here -- then tell your progressive friends about it.
Working together, we'll push and push Democratic leaders until they finally fight for "change we can believe in."
