Calculate, Pledge, and Donate Your Tax Cut

Americans who've benefited from the extension of the Bush tax cuts should give what they can afford - in large amounts or small - back to the public, by supporting organizations that promote fairness and economic growth.

The government has, by extending the cuts, deprived itself of the resources required to support the policies that will secure a vibrant middle class. But joint action by visitors to this site will begin to replicate good government policy, outside the government and free from the grip of obstructionists within it.

Here's how
Contributions to the charities linked to below will allow these charities to expand their work, creating new jobs and promoting justice. Because the donations are tax deductible, they will draft the government as a partner in funding the projects that they support. Finally, by banding together, we can exert political pressure on our leaders to insist on fundamental fairness when fiscal policy returns to the political agenda, as it surely soon will.

We can, in this way, begin to redeem candidate Obama’s promise that
“we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
