End Tax Inequality: Support the No Pledge Pledge - Tax-Us!

End Tax Inequality: Support the No Pledge Pledge - Tax-Us!

The Issue

Join us by calling on our elected officials in Washington to end tax inequality.

279 congressmen and senators have signed an oath called "The Pledge" to never raise taxes, under any circumstances.  This pledge has caused political gridlock in Washington, prolonged the economic crisis, threatens our credit rating and the stability of our currency.

By signing this petition, regardless of your party affiliation, you are asking your elected representative to reject pledges to unelected officials, to adopt a "No Pledge Pledge" and to negotiate and compromise in the best interests of all Americans.
