Interesting message from @EWarren indicates a "carve out" from @TheDemocrats core values for #Americansabroad (who actually are "working people" not mini-multinationals). Perhaps @DemsAbroadTax could educate @SenWarren about @CitizenshipTax and #FATCA. nytimes.com/2022/04/18/opi…

Exhibit A: "Standing up for the inherent dignity of everyone is a core American value, and Democrats are proud to do that every day."

Exhibit B: "Democrats win elections when we show we understand the painful economic realities facing American families and convince voters we will deliver meaningful change."

"The Times is committed to publishing a diversity of letters to the editor. We’d like to hear what you think about this or any of our articles. Here are some tips. And here’s our email: letters@nytimes.com" @SEATNow_org should write @NYTimes describing @citizenshiptax and #FATCA!

The @NYTimes should then write a story featuring the @SEATNow_org survey which documents the war that the USA has been waging against #Americansabroad using the twin horrors of #FATCA and @citizenshiptax. seatnow.org/survey_report_…

#Americansabroad are being forced to renounce US citizenship in order to protect themselves from the very principle/policies (@citizenshiptax and #FATCA) that @SenateDems (@SenWarren @SenWhitehouse) advocate. How can @Demsabroad expect #Americansabroad to vote for @TheDemocrats?

The @SenateFinance Committee has received numerous submissions from @Americansabroad explaining the problems of @citienshiptax and #FATCA. Yet Chairman @RonWyden appears to have chosen to ignore them. seatnow.org/seat-home/seat…

Of course the attempt to educate Congress on the effects of @citizenshiptax and #FATCA has been going on for years and years and years. Historical artifacts include: box.com/citizenshiptax… (would be great stuff for any @NYTimes reporter.

While @SenateFinance Chair @RonWyden has demonstrated "he doesn't care and that he doesn't care that he doesn't care", perhaps the ranking member @MikeCrapo might be willing to explore @citizenshiptax and #FATCA. Trust me! Easy way for the Republicans to reach #Americansabroad!

Bottom line: #Americansabroad should organize an educational campaign aimed at educating @NYTimes @washingtonpost and others about how the USA treats #Americansabroad via #FATCA and @citizenshiptax. As @Ewarren notes an election is coming. seatnow.org/2021/06/14/ove…
