People have moved on the the next bit of news these days. I doubt that hundreds of people are busy calling their local congressmen and senators regarding the tax bill lately.
I'm sure if we had a few hundred people making the rounds calling up various senators to put tuition-charity back in, it would make an impression even now to get it in. In fact with the senate being 52-48 (or soon to possibly be 51-49) if Moore looses in Alabama, and with Senator Corker against the tax bill, all it takes is one or 2 senators to be sympathetic, and to insist on it being added back before voting on the tax bill once it comes back from committee, and it will pass.
For example, Susan Collins from Maine got plenty of concessions on the day they voted, because she threatened that if you don't give me X, Y, Z you don't have my vote.
So all it takes, is one Senator to insist on something and he will get it, as long as they are truly afraid to lose his vote.
For the record, even though they are not from my state, I recently picked up the phone and contacted the offices of Senator Rubio and Lee, to thank them for trying to get more child tax credit, as well as to suggest to them to insist that they get their way in the final bill, and to threaten the Senate that they will vote no, if they don't get their way, just like Senators, Collins, Johnson, and others got major concessions on the last day, since they did a good job and were convincing that they were going to vote no.
The problem with Rubio/Lee was that nobody feared that they would vote no on the tax bill, if they didn't get their way with the child tax credit, so they didn't get it.
So if Agudah can target a few senators who are sympathetic to tuition/charity deduction, and then tell us which senators to call, im sure if their secretaries in their various offices gets hundreds of calls a day for the next 2 weeks until they vote again it will make an impact.
Now is the time to push, or forever lose.....
