This hearing of the Senate Finance Committee, to take place this coming Tuesday, was unknown to me until this afternoon.
I am sorry to ask for support on top of the RO initiative; perhaps those who have already supported that endeavor could consider contacting the assistants of a few SFC Senators; at the very least, perhaps our Twitter group could do some tweets prior to Tuesday.

Fortunately Virginia La Torre Jeker tweeted this earlier today; otherwise, I had not heard anything about this.

 
See below for description of meeting/testimonies. The site lists that a live video of the hearing will be available.

It states this is a “Full Committee Hearing” so it would seem fair game to contact any/all members of the SFC with your concerns/comments. We have been advised earlier than calling is more effective than emailing so telephone numbers are provided as well as Twitter handles and FB pages if available. Emailing seems to be possible only via a form on individual members’ websites however, we do have the assistants’ emails, likely more effective, from earlier campaigns(with thanks to Karen Alpert for latest version). I started by listing the two members who will present at the hearing followed by members of the relevant subcommittee – Subcommittee on Taxation and IRS Oversight. I will add the remaining members’ contact info after this post is up – there is precious little time left. I may also list contact information for the three witnesses (Bret Wells, Kimberly Clausing, Ph.D., Stephen E. Shay and Itai Grinberg).

  7. Well, watched the hearing and as expected, not a word about expats. One thing that was emphasized was that the committee has worked on all the ideas that were presented over the last 6 years so concerns about coming up with something in a short time were felt to be overstated. My thinking is,that it was clear this hearing was targeted toward the corporate issues.Yet we cannot with certainty, take this to mean we are not on their radar. It may be that they have something put together but since we are not a really visible population, they are not publicizing it. Maybe not likely but we can hope.

    Their facebook pages are listed above

  8. I don’t have facebook. I have gmail and gmail only. I was hoping for another way to communicate with them.

    Their complaining about not having enough time to deal with this is BS, unless they throw put everything they came up with in past years.

  11. EASY / As per http://citizenshiptaxation.ca/tax-reform-hearing-senate-finance-committee-tuesday-october-3/ Why doesn’t everyone BCC the staff and witnesses with their opinion

  16. “House Republicans aim to unveil tax bill on Nov. 1, source says”
    https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/24/republicans-aim-to-unveil-tax-reform-bill-on-nov-1-source-says.html

    House Republicans aim to introduce their tax bill on Nov. 1, a Capitol Hill source tells CNBC.

    The plan’s release will follow an expected House vote on the Senate-approved budget plan on Thursday. The Senate resolution unlocks a tool that would allow the tax bill to pass with only a simple majority of Republican votes in the Senate.

    The GOP wants to approve a plan by the end of the year to dramatically lower individual and corporate tax rates, double the standard deduction and scrap certain taxes that largely affect wealthier Americans. The party released a framework of its proposal last month, but it lacked some details Republicans aimed to hash out before releasing a draft bill.

    House Speaker Paul Ryan wants the bill to get through his chamber by Thanksgiving.
