Think oil companies should pay their fair share of taxes? So does President Obama. In his budget, the President has proposed cutting billions of dollars in special subsidies and tax loopholes for oil and gas companies.
But Big Oil is already fighting back. Like other corporate special interests, they're lobbying heavily to gut Obama's budget.
So we've got to be louder than Big Oil, and remind our elected representatives that they work for us, not ExxonMobil.
A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators and Representative.

The 380,000-plus-word database presented here allows, for the first time, the Iraq-related public pronouncements of top Bush administration officials to be tracked on a day-by-day basis against their private assessments and the actual “ground truth” as it is now known. Throughout the database, passages containing false statements by the top Bush administration officials are highlighted in yellow. The 935 false statements in the database may also be accessed by selecting the “False Statements” option from the “Subject” pull-down menu and may be displayed within selected date ranges using the selection tool below.
