The Bush tax cuts are due to expire again. I want them expired. I want the Senate to revoke the filibuster opening day. I want a resolution restoring the tax cuts for the 98% of Americans with lowest income.

I want the Democrats to go on the Letterman show and everywhere else every night to point out that it is the Republican who refuse to lower taxes on 98% of Americans.

Anything less and I will withdraw my support from the right-of-center Democrats and seek viable centrist candidates (if U.S. politics has room for such a fringe).
