The Honorable Michael Jones
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative Jones:

I am a registered voter in the city of Smithton in your district and a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen. I am writing about H.R.10, the tax reform bill sponsored by Congressman Buffet. The House of Representatives is supposed to vote on H.R.10 next week.

As a taxpayer, I get upset by the many loopholes in the federal tax system, which allows big business to escape paying its fair share of taxes. Because of that, working taxpayers like me are forced to pay higher taxes. The Buffet bill will close many of these inequitable loopholes if it is passed without crippling amendments, particularly the damaging one proposed by Rep. Regan.

I hope you will support the Buffet bill in its current form and oppose all crippling amendments. I would appreciate knowing your position on this much-needed reform legislation.

Sincerely,
John Q. Public
