Please send our message to your elected officials. You'll have the option to add your own story or the story of people you know. Have you seen any trouble more serious than having to sell your third yacht or pay taxes on your private jet? We're looking for the stories the corporate media miss. We might feature yours on the website.
Send our message to Congress and the President, and please feel free to edit the letter to add your own story.
