This discharge petition frames the issue immediately before us: will Republicans take America over the cliff, and the middle class tax cuts with them, in order to protect tax breaks for the very wealthy. And will they take the economy with them over the cliff? The fiscal cliff confronting us threatens an economic mess, half of which could be resolved in one fell swoop--by passing the middle class tax cuts. The Senate has already acted. The President is waiting to sign it. Republicans should join with Democrats and give 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses the certainty that they won't face a tax increase on January 1. Colleagues, Republicans as well as Democrats, sign now--the signal that America needs. ____________________
