The U.S. Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (aka the "Super Committee"), has until November 23 to report a bipartisan, bicameral proposal to reduce the national deficit by $1.2 trillion. Tax expenditures have been heavily discussed as a possible source for raising revenue to reduce the deficit.

To counter this move by the Super Committee, U.S. Representatives Jim Gerlach (R-PA) and Richard Neal (D-MA) are introducing a Concurrent Resolution to give all Members of the U.S. House of Representatives the opportunity to voice official support for preserving employer-provided retirement savings tax rules.

Before November 23 - Email Your Member of Congress!

• Click here to contact U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Dallas) who is a Co-Chair of the Super Committee.
• Click here for a list of all other U.S. Representatives from Texas to contact your representative.

Ask your Representative to sign on as an original co-sponsor of the Gerlach-Neal Resolution.

Tell your Representative that it is critical that members of the Super Committee, as well as the tax-writing regular committees, understand that reducing incentives for employer-based retirement savings is the wrong way to go about closing the budget deficit. Employer-based retirement plans are the biggest success story for national savings in a sea of public and private debt.
