Friend --

This week, thousands of Americans picked up the phone to
help the President prevent a tax hike on middle-class
families.

We can't stop now. Republican leadership in the House of
Representatives is still refusing to allow a vote on a bill
that would prevent 98 percent of American families from
paying higher taxes next year.

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. 

You can do something about it. Log on to the call tool
today and ask fellow supporters who live in Republican
districts to call their representatives now:

Voters have already made their voices heard on this issue.
As the President said at his first press conference after
the election:

"If there was one thing that everybody understood was a big
difference between myself and Mr. Romney, it was, when it
comes to how we reduce our deficit, I argued for a
balanced, responsible approach, and part of that included
making sure that the wealthiest Americans pay a little bit
more.

"I think every voter out there understood that that was an
important debate, and the majority of voters agreed with me
... by the way, more voters agreed with me on this issue
than voted for me."

Yet a handful of Republicans in the House of
Representatives are still fighting for the same top-down
approach that's been tried -- and has failed.

Whether you voted for the President or not, he's fighting
to keep taxes low for 98 percent of Americans and 97
percent of small businesses, because he believes we need to
grow the economy from the middle out.

He's fighting for you. He's got your back.

We've got to get his, too. Make a few calls right now. One
person reaching out to another is how we re-elected Barack
Obama. It's how we'll win this fight, too. Just a few
minutes of your time will make a difference.

Thanks for doing your part. More soon.
