Take Action!

CTJ's Action Page allows you to contact your legislators easily, even if you're not exactly sure who your lawmakers are. Below are some of the issue areas where you can make a difference by making your voice heard.

 

 

 

Tell Congress:
Close the Tax Loophole for Investment Managers!

Send a letter to Congress calling for an end to the special tax loophole for billionaire fund managers. This loophole allows people making hundreds of millions, or even over a billion dollars a year to pay taxes at a lower rate than middle-class people.

 

Write Congress in Support of Expanding Tax Credits for the Poor
From our friends at the Coalition on Human Needs:
Members of Congress are drawing up tax legislation, and it may include improvements to the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. These credits provide badly needed help to the poorest Americans - but now they do not reach millions of the poorest children, and provide far too little to poor childless workers. Send letters to your U.S. Representative and Senators to tell them to provide help where it is needed most.

 

Tell Congress:
Stop the IRS from Using Private Debt Collectors.

Call on your Representative and Senators to stop the IRS's use of private debt collectors to locate delinquent taxpayers. The program is wasting taxpayer dollars and could put taxpayers' personal information at risk.
