Tell Your Senator To Fight The "Gang Of Twenty" Energy Tax Hike!

Dear Fellow Taxpayer,

The so-called "Gang of 20" Senate energy compromise will raise taxes on domestic energy production, and will cost America more than 600,000 jobs. That's not all, because the bill raises corporate income taxes, it is a violation of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge sponsored by our organization, Americans for Tax Reform.

Currently, there are eight Pledge signers who are listed as supporters of the "Gang of 20" Senate Energy Plan; Senators Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Norm Coleman (R-MN), Bob Corker (R-TN), Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Ben Nelson (D-NE), John Sununu (R-NH), and John Thune (R-SD). These eight Senators are in serious danger of breaking their Pledge to their constituents. All for an energy bill that will do almost nothing to increase the supply of oil, and which will cost American jobs.

Tell your Senators that raising taxes on energy production is a big mistake!

Tell them to abandon the fatally flawed "Gang of 20" energy plan.

And it gets even worse...the "Gang of 20" plan will also create a new permanent ban on offshore drilling (which is now set to expire on October 1st, 2008). This means that these Senators want to lock away the 115 billion barrels of oil domestically available forever. We need more domestic oil supplies, not less!

Tell your Senator to oppose and abandon the "Gang of 20" energy plan and instead allow the ban on offshore drilling to expire on October 1st!
