Added another comment there... copy and paste what I said there if necessary in other forums or emails. I don't want to toot my own horn but it's a well thought out post outlining most of the points that must be made.

I, like many of you thought it was unrealistic to think that responding and commenting to articles on the tax and contacting congressmen/senators etc would work but we have clearly had an impact and I'd like to say to everyone that so far we have done a great job but we MUST continue to be...

We've done a good job writing comments on articles, we have to continue but we must also email the congressmen and senators, specifically Democrats that are against this tax and let them know how much we appreciate and need their support and give them more ammunition for their fight.

Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y), Mike McMahon (D-N.Y) and Debbie Halverson (D-Ill.) Contact them all and keep them fired up against this tax! Furthermore, give them more ammunition to fight this such as how this would be a net negative in terms of revenue as well as everything we've discussed...

Please please pleeeease if you're in any of these districts PLEASE email/call/contact with your appreciation because I think we are far more productive keeping the opponents of this tax fired up than trying to change the minds of the mentally challenged DeFazios of the world that refuse to look...

I'm sorry but you're an idiot, this topic has almost 500 pages and you claim "no one here is worried" We're very worried and we're trying to do whatever we possibly can to stop it.

Absolutely agree. we have to show them the facts, specifically how this would be a net NEGATIVE in terms of revenue, thus INCREASING the deficit, how this would be a job KILLER, not CREATOR, and we really have to show them how it's not only 0.25% in increased costs, commissions will go sky high...

Listen, you're right that this has zero big sponsorship and at this point has no chance of being enacted. But we as traders need to keep it that way, if we become lazy and someone like Rangel or Frank jumps on board then it's far too late for us to have any effect so I think we have reason to...

LOL

Listen, Geithner never said anything about Obama being against this tax, Tim himself is. I'd honestly be quite surprised as Barack has even thought about this for 2 seconds yet because it's not the table yet and that's where we come in, to keep it under the table. I'm very proud of what traders...

He said he WASN'T for it but that we had to do whatever we had to do to create jobs because jobs is #1. I have no clue how he thinks a transaction tax creates jobs, based on every measure it will eliminate jobs...

Exactly ^^^ We didn't cause this problem and we have to get that across to people.

You're right rsikit, it just makes me sick that he's for it now and how he's just clearly showing what scum he really is.

I just emailed Cramer at jcramer@thestreet.com and madmoney@cnbc.com and madmoney@cnbc.com cramer@jjcramerco.com jcramer@thestreet.com -- likely will do nothing but I wrote a long and hopefully coherent email to him about how ridiculous and contradictory is stance is.

How do we contact Mad Money/Cramer? Flood this scums inbox. Edit** http://www.cnbc.com/id/17364946/site/14081545/ madmoney@cnbc.com cramer@jjcramerco.com jcramer@thestreet.com

I missed Cramer's take on this... this guy is absolute scum as he was very much against this in the past... what exactly did he say?

Hopefully this doesn't come off the wrong way but there is A TON of garbage on ET due to there simply being a ton of idiots in the world but this thread has been so on top of this issue it's been really impressive. WSJ, DJ, European websites/papers keep re-hashing the same shit all the time...

You... you... uh. .. you .. should... pay... pay... errr. pay to play... T TT T TTT TTTT TTTOOOOODAAAAY JUNNNNIORRR Are all those in favor of the tax mentally retarded stuttering idiots that can't make any points?

Adaptation is the key to this business
