The Senate already passed a tax cut for the middle class, but Boehner and House Republicans won’t even allow the full House to vote on the bill. They’re willing to go over the fiscal cliff just to protect reckless tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.

We've seen Republicans hold the middle class hostage before -- and they’re ready to do it again. After all, Republicans are more concerned about Grover Norquist than the American people.

Don’t let the Republicans force another middle class hostage crisis. Help us reach 500,000 strong supporting President Obama’s plan to end Bush tax cuts for the rich. - LINK

Constituents in 35 Republican House districts can expect a phone call from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee starting today.

The DCCC is aiming to pressure the GOP lawmakers to sign on to a Democrat-backed discharge petition on a Senate-passed bill that extends the Bush tax cuts on the middle class. 
House Democrats charge that Republicans are "holding middle class tax cuts hostage" and threatening to take the country over the fiscal cliff.  - LINK

If your taxes go up by more than $2,000 in a couple weeks, there's only one reason: because a few dozen Republican representatives refuse to ask the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans to pay their fair share. ~ Jim Messina
