Dear Xxxx,

"More tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans are off the table." Those are the words that America is waiting to hear from President Bush. At a time of crisis and enormous need, it should be an easy decision for him to make. He could make the announcement tomorrow.

There is hurt and suffering all around us. Estimates are that it will cost as much as $150 billion to help the hard-hit people and communities of the Gulf Coast get back on their feet following Katrina's devastation. And the Bush administration's failed policies in Iraq are draining billions of dollars from our treasury every month.

But still, Republican leaders refuse to abandon their obsession with granting still more tax cuts to the wealthy and well-connected. Don't let them get away with it.

Sign our "Don't You Dare" petition right now.

Believe it or not, with all our nation is going through, there are Republicans still pushing to put tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans on Congress' agenda this fall.

Republican leaders were forced to postpone plans for an immediate vote this week on eliminating the estate tax. But, they haven't backed off their larger plan for more tax cuts to benefit the wealthiest Americans.

This is a test of what kind of country we are. Are we an America that responds to crisis by helping the most vulnerable in times of need, or do we just give more to those who have the most?

Please join today in demanding that Republican leaders forego any and all plans to lavish tax cuts on the wealthy at this moment of crisis.

What can they be thinking? Why haven't President Bush, Senator Frist and Speaker Hastert taken off the table the outrageous notion of bestowing more tax cuts on the wealthy at a time like this? How long will it be before they start telling us that tax cuts for the wealthy can provide just the stimulus we need to get the Gulf Coast economy moving again?

Going forward with the GOP's next round of tax cuts for the wealthy would be a bitter betrayal -- a slap in the face to the hundreds of thousands of Katrina survivors struggling to put their lives back together. It's time for the President and his Republican colleagues to send a clear, unambiguous message that they understand the situation our nation is facing. The American people want to hear from them now -- and, until they back off of their tax cuts for the wealthy, we'll make sure they hear from us.

All around us, there are signs of American courage and American compassion. People who lived through hell are finding the strength to carry on. People who know what their fellow Americans are going through have reached out in one of the most far-reaching displays of generosity in our nation's history.

Yet here the Republican Party's leaders sit back in Washington, desperately clinging to the hope that they can force through another round of tax cuts for the chosen few. They shouldn't wait a day longer before they make a clear commitment not to pursue more tax cuts for the wealthy. And, until they come to their senses, we'll keep the pressure on.

We've got to stop these tax cuts from diverting resources that are needed for vitally important priorities such as helping those who have lost so much -- and have so far to go before they are on the road to recovery.

I hope you'll sign our "Don't You Dare" petition today demanding that Republican leaders abandon their plans to lavish more tax cuts on the wealthy. There has never been a more important time than this to give voice to your values.

I hope you will stand with us.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. After you sign the petition, please forward it to everyone you can think of who might be willing to sign. The more signatures we gather, the more quickly we can force Republican leaders to take tax cuts for the wealthy off the table.

Just thought everyone should be able to see what JF'nKerry is spewing out as spam email from his website. This was received [several times] as unsolicited bulk email, sent to email users that don't exist on my server. Because this is "political speech" from a politician, it doesn't fall under the penalties of the Can-Spam act (but then again, what does?)

Oh, and don't bother sending email to the "info@johnkerry.com" email address... it seems that they don't want to hear from anyone at that address and email sent to it bounces. Hmmmmmmmm. Although the 'Reply-To' address listed, jk4p-002Wp0njry@mailer.johnkerry.com, may be actually receiving email. [big toothy grin]

I didn't bother to make the internal email links clickable in this article, although I just know all of you are peeing your panties wanting to click over and sign the petition. [grin] You can copy the URL and paste it into your browser if you are such a masochist that you want to visit this socialist/fascist's website.

This buffoon takes the tern "punch drunk" to a whole new level.

The democrats are starting to remind me alot of the British Labour Party in the 1980's. They were reeling from their repeated butt-kickings by Maggie Thatcher and the only thing they could come up with is "well it's all for the rich (sneer)"

sounds like moveon.org is behind this. skerry isn't smart.

The truly "wealthy" such as John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz DO NOT PAY TAXES ON THEIR WEALTH.

It is the high earners in the middle class, not "The Wealthy", that bear the brunt of the tax burden.

Dear John,

You lost your chance to be America's dictator. Get over it.

"How long will it be before they start telling us that tax cuts for the wealthy can provide just the stimulus we need to get the Gulf Coast economy moving again?"

That is exactly what Bush should do, say that we need more tax cuts to stimulate the economy in that area. That would make the left livid!

[GOP_1900AD]

Hey F'n, let me reword that, "tax cuts for those who actually pay taxes." I guess anyone who pays taxes (e.g. anyone above the poverty line) is considered "wealthy" by all you liberal, rat, Communist scum.

I gather that ECONOMICS 101 was one of the four courses in which JfK "earned" a "D" while attending Yale...
