Dear Congressman,

Re: Cut Cut Cut

As you vote—IF you join the Republican vote—to cut cut cut taxes (Trump’s words), I remind you of those many of your constituents who will suffer significant financial harm if they are no longer able to deduct state and local taxes.

Even your fellow right-wing Republican neighbor to the south, Darrell Issa, has told reporters he cannot vote for the bill as it stands, because the measure on state and local tax deductions would hit California particularly hard. And particularly affluent areas of California like Orange County.

I have searched online to find out whether you have made a similar commitment, but so far it appears you have not done so publicly. Does this mean that you are keeping an open mind as you study the implications of the bill? I hope so. And I hope that, in studying it, you will conclude that its passage is not in the interests of your constituents.

When called upon to vote, vote NO on Cut Cut Cut.

Respectfully,

Peter Clothier, Ph.D.
