Tell Congress it's time to act.
On December 17, the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of the payroll tax cut: 89-10. Days later, House Republicans led the charge to prevent an extension of this tax cut, which would benefit 160 million middle-class Americans. What does that mean? Unless the House takes immediate action, taxes will go up by $1,000 for the typical American family on January 1.
