OUR IMMIGRATION AND TAX LAWS SHOULD NOT CONTRADICT OUR VALUES
ReformTheRebate.com
Reform the Rebate: Stop Penalizing Law Abiding Spouses Campaign -- is made up of US citizens, legal permanent residents and others who obey the law, who are outraged at the abuse of American values reflected in both our immigration and our tax laws.
For example, the Stimulus Package that will send most Americans a check in the next few weeks, was written to EXCLUDE the US citizen or legal permanent resident who obeys the law by remaining separated from a spouse abroad. BECAUSE WE OBEY THE LAW, we cannot get the rebate that we paid for unless we essentially deny our marriages by filing as if we were single.
And it gets worse: those of us who filed as if we weren't married this year, lose the right to file jointly for an indefinite time.
In other words: CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT DO NOT RESPECT IMMIGRANT MARRIAGES, even if they involve US citizens and legal permanent residents.
So -- we're doing something about it. Join us -- Reform the Rebate: Stop Penalizing Law Abiding Spouses Campaign -- as we work, along with American Families United, through grassroots organization and EFFECTIVE advocacy in Congress, to right this wrong.
Organizations supporting the Reform The Rebate, Stop Penalizing Law Abiding Citizens campaign include American Families United, The Association of the US Army, and the Rutherford Institute.
