Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, has brought the discharge petition to the House Floor. The discharge petition circumvents Speaker Boehner obstruction, and requests that the already-passed Senate bill extending middle income tax cuts (tax cuts for ALL income less than $250,000) be voted upon.
The petition is available right now, on the House Floor, for any Republican Congresspeople to sign.
RIGHT NOW, Tuesday afternoon after noon eastern US time, we must create a social media storm to pressure wavering and lame duck Republicans to join and sign the petition.
