LegalNewsline.com reports on this troubling bill:

The proposal would allow attorneys to deduct fees and expenses up-front for filing contingency-fee lawsuits. The proposal amounts to about a $1.6 billion tax break for plaintiffs' attorneys, estimates indicate.

In this struggling economy, why is everybody being asked to sacrifice -- except for trial lawyers?

Email your members of Congress today to ask them not to reward the trial lawyers with your tax dollars.

We are racking up record government deficits.

Small business owners are being threatened with big tax hikes -- and we've even been told that paying higher taxes is "patriotic."

So why are the trial lawyers being given a tax break while the rest of us are struggling to get by?

Right now, the last thing we need is to enable trial lawyers to threaten American employers with more lawsuits.
