I had no idea this was going on, and I think there are probably a lot of women on MFI that are as clueless about this as I was. I am not a political person. I do not follow typically follow political bills, even ones that may effect me. But I think that this is different. Because this effects every woman here, and I know how hard we all work. I hope that you find this useful, and I hope the ladies and the bennes on the site will do whatever they can to help!I know that if we stand together as a group, we really can fight this. And what better group to reach out to than those it directly effects? Dear Emily, I am writing you as your help is needed now, possibly before January 1, 2010 to help STOP the COSMETIC TAX. It is currently being discussed in the U.S. Senate and it is important that you contact your Senator by simply calling the toll free phone number below and they will connect you directly with your senators. You can easily voice your opposition to a tax that again HITS the Middle Class the hardest as the working middle class is the largest consumer of Cosmetic Procedures. It also violates patient privacy as your records can be open to tax auditors; and it discriminates against women as women purchase the greatest number of cosmetic procedures. YOU, the consumer, are the target of this tax, not the doctors, as we will only have to collect the tax and give it to the government. Call toll free: 1-877-221-8207 NOW It takes only about 2 minutes. This number is offered by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Thank you for your time.. Sincerely, Dr. Hynes and Staff Hynes Plastic Surgery Center, P.C. I have not done this yet, so I can't tell you if it is fast or easy, but I can tell you it's important. Pass this along. Repost it if you want. We need to get the word out! We need our voices to be heard. :) Thanks for reading. Thanks for caring. And good luck to every single woman here. I know how hard you're all working! XOXO Emily Today I received the following email from my plastic surgeon.

It seems the counterproductive route is almost always the bureaucratic route. I don't think the proposal will go far, but that depends on who carries the most weight in the voting booths. Ever wonder why old people who shouldn't be driving, still have their licenses and are not required to take another test? Those ornery old bastards vote and have moolah, thus the influence.
