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.
