BUSHIES LETTING OFF BIG CORPS FROM TAXES: Alert We are always told that war demands sacrifice. But while American soldiers are risking their lives in Iraq, many of the country's wealthiest corporations are shirking billions of dollars in taxes. As the costs of conflict soar, the President refuses to close a tax loophole that allows big businesses to avoid shouldering their share of the tax burden using off-shore corporate tax dodges -- literally leaving the country in a time of need. The President wants the debate in Congress this week to focus on the size of his tax cut for the wealthy. We're launching a media and grassroots campaign to instead focus on the hypocrisy of these corporations. Our TV ad juxtaposes the sacrifice of our sons and daughters in Iraq with their greedy and immoral pursuit of self- interest. I've attached a press advisory below. But the campaign will be most successful if the media hit is coupled with lots of phone calls to Congress. Can you help? Please make a call today to your members of Congress to ask that they outlaw corporate offshore tax dodges. You can reach them at: Senator Feinstein DC Phone: 202-224-3841
