Now Hillary is on C-Span talking about the Biden Amendment. She is, |
|
as always, clear-headed, articulate, and intelligent. "We are funding our war with our children's inheritance. That is wrong. I don't care what you say, that it wrong."

2. Contact your Senators now! Vote on Biden-Kerry amendment today at 3:15PM! |
|
Kerry-Biden amendment will return top tax rate to 38.2%, effective 2005-2010, to pay for cleaning up Bush mess in Iraq.
Right now top tax rate has been reduced to 35% by Bush's latest tax cut, effective this year.
Contact your Senators and urge them vote for Kerry-Biden amendment!

Kerry is one of the 5 co-sponsors, one of whom is Diane Feinstein.
The other 3 co-sponsors are Chafee, Corzine and Lautenberg.

Write her office a letter. Could be they want more than 15 cut out. Could be something in the fine print. Could be a lot of things.

We now know we can get things more cheaply than from the no-bid contracts given to the president's friends.

Check out this blog from an Iraqi who says her cousin (a professional engineer) estimated a bridge rebuild at $300,000. The CPA said thank you very much and hired an American company to do it for $50 MILLION!!! Outrageous http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/2003_08_01_riverbendblog_archive.html#106208201838841818
