Sen. Thomas Carper

October 27, 2009

1) please do all you can to encourage your colleagues to do something quickly to plug the 2010 hole in estate taxes, so the treasury does not lose billions. I have heard/seen nothing in the news media about this reform. Has anything been done?
2) On health care reform, please remind the leadership that it does NOT need 60 votes for a desired bill. It needs them ONLY against a filibuster. Can it not hold people to the party line re: a filibuster with the argument that the U.S.public deserves a vote on this after one hundred years of dithering? Then let them vote their conscience on the specifics of the bill.
