Key Vote Alert: Vote YES on Motion to Proceed on H.R. 1
Dear Senator,
On behalf of millions of Americans for Prosperity activists in all 50 states, I urge you to support the Motion to Proceed on H.R. 1, a critical step towards delivering meaningful economic relief to the American people and advancing the pro-growth policies championed by President Donald Trump.
Passing an extension and permanency for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) out of the Senate is the next step in extending tax cuts for working Americans. The TCJA was an unmitigated success that benefitted American families, workers, and the overall economy. This landmark piece of legislation reduced individual income tax rates across-the-board, allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money. It also slashed the income tax rate on job creators, making American businesses much more competitive internationally. In addition, TCJA also provided much needed incentives to work, save, and invest in the future. It is imperative that America preserve this boon to the economy and individuals continue to have that freedom.
Should the TCJA expire, it would increase taxes on American workers by $4.6 trillion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). With inflation up over 20% during the Biden Presidency, increasing tax rates on individuals would compound the difficult economic situation many families across the country are currently facing. Congress must head off this approaching disaster by extending TCJA and preventing trillions in additional taxes bills from hitting American families.
It is for these reasons we urge you to support the Motion to Proceed on H.R. 1.
