Tomorrow at Noon, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is scheduled to release details of his health reform bill.  This bill is widely expected to include tax provisions which shall result in a net income tax hike.

Failing to fight back against this tax-hike bill would be a violation of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which binds 33 United State Senators to “oppose any and all efforts” to raise net income taxes. 

ATR considers the vote on cloture on the motion to proceed to Senator Reid’s government healthcare bill to be in direct violation of this Pledge.  Any Pledge-signing senator who votes for this cloture motion will be considered a Taxpayer Protection Pledge violator.

A VOTE TO INVOKE CLOTURE ON THE MOTION TO PROCEED TO THE REID GOVERNMENT HEALTH BILL VIOLATES THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION PLEDGE
