Action Alert: Tax evader for Treasury Secretary? I say "NO!"

MOVED TO TOP: PLEASE CALL EARLY MONDAY MORNING
If you have the time to call or send an e-mail to Senator Merkley or Senator Wyden, or both, that would be great.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, (202) 224-3753
Sen. Ron Wyden, (202) 224-5244
One person cannot change the future, but millions of people, sending millions of e-mails to their senators can make a huge difference.

The Senate Finance Committee Thursday (1/22) approved the nomination of Timothy Geithner for treasury secretary by an 18-5 vote (all 'no' votes were cast by Republicans), but his final confirmation before the full Senate has been delayed until next week (probably Monday, Jan. 26). Republicans seek to delve deeper into Mr. Geithner's personal finances and past policy decisions. Geithner failed to pay more than $34,000 in payroll taxes earlier in the decade.

The NY Times is tracking nominees and confirmations at 'The New Team'.
