Today the Senate passed a tax plan which reduces the top rate of the estate tax to 35 percent; increases the exemption level to $5 million; indexes exemptions to inflation and includes a stepped-up basis.
The House is expected to vote on this bill as early as TODAY.
Please contact your representative and ask them to support the estate tax provisions in the Senate bill.
Tips for calling members of Congress:
Remember calls are typically received by a staff member, not the member of Congress. Ask to speak with the aide who handles the issue about which you wish to comment. After identifying yourself, tell the aide you would like to leave a brief message for the Representative.
You will want to state reasons for your support or opposition to the bill. Ask for your senators' or representative's position on the bill. You may also request a written response to your telephone call.
