Dear John,

With the government funding deadline just weeks away, Republicans are pushing to slash over $20 billion from the IRS -- crippling its ability to go after wealthy tax cheats.

Investments in the IRS are already paying off: $1.3 billion has been recovered from high-income tax evaders. Wait times for help have plummeted, and new programs like Direct File are saving taxpayers millions in preparation fees.

Republicans want to dismantle this progress. First, they’ll gut the IRS to protect their billionaire donors. Next, they’ll push for deeper tax cuts for the ultra-rich while leaving working families high and dry.

Removing funding right now is a direct attack on progress that’s already recovered billions from high-income tax evaders and delivered better services to everyday taxpayers. Wealthy tax cheats will pocket billions they owe, while everyday Americans shoulder the cost.

Tell Congress to stop the cuts to IRS funding. Defend fairness, economic stability, and essential public services.

For years, underfunding the IRS let billionaires exploit loopholes, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. That changed with new investments through the Inflation Reduction Act, which boosted enforcement against wealthy tax cheats while improving service for everyone.

When the wealthy don’t pay their fair share, the burden falls disproportionately on working families, marginalized communities, and small businesses.

It’s no surprise that GOP-led attacks on IRS funding target audits of low-income families while ignoring the real tax cheats. By defending the IRS, we defend fair taxation, better public services, and a future where billionaires play by the same rules as the rest of us.

Congress has the power to stop these cuts. Let’s make sure they use it. Stand with us today to protect our progress and demand that the wealthy pay their fair share.

Together, we can fight back and protect the IRS for future generations.
