            TELL CONGRESS IT'S TIME FOR A ROBIN HOOD TAX!
            Wall Street gambling and greed collapsed the global economy and we are still reeling.

            Politicians claim America is “broke” to justify layoffs and draconian cuts in critical services. 

            We have a better idea. 

            Yesterday, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, introduced a bill to place a tiny tax on the sale of stocks, bonds, and derivatives. This bill has the potential to raise billions in desperately needed revenue while clamping down the Wall Street casino that continues to threaten our financial stability.

            Join PRwatch.org and RootsAction.org and hundreds of other organizations in calling for a Robin Hood Tax.

            It's not a tax on the people, its a tax for the people! 

            Please forward this email widely to like-minded friends.
