R.Hunter – Unbelievable. Last week, the Democratic Senate overwhelmingly passed a payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance extension. Now, extremist Tea Party Republicans are refusing to pass it. They are holding the middle class hostage only days before a tax hike will hit millions.

How urgent is this? In just ten days, the average middle class family will see its taxes jump by $1,000 a year. And 2.2 million Americans will lose their unemployment benefits. That's money families won't have to spend on food, clothes and rent. That's money that won't be spent in our communities. Our entire economy will suffer. Happy New Year, America. 

This cannot stand. Demand the House GOP pass this bill. I need your help to reach 100,000 signatures by midnight tomorrow. 

Click here to sign our petition. Demand that House Republicans pass the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance extension. Now.

People's lives and livelihoods are at stake here. $1,000 might not be a lot of money to Republican members of Congress, but when you're living paycheck to paycheck – or are scraping by on unemployment insurance – this is a huge deal.

Click here, sign, and pass this petition on to your friends.

Even Scrooge wasn't this vindictive. It's way past time for Republicans to put politics aside and pass this payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance extension. Middle class families are counting on it. For once, Republicans should put them first.
