McGovern Backs Patrick’s Plan

Yesterday, Congressman McGovern announced a plan for an “Iraq Tax” based on Patrick’s “Shared Sacrifice” Bill. We had several conversations with members of his staff, and sent several emails regarding the proposal. We are happy our persistence paid off and that in Jim McGovern we have found an ally and champion for this important cause. You can check Patrick’s Ideas section for the full text of the proposal.

WBUR also highlighted McGovern’s announcement during their news briefs yesterday afternoon, and attributed the idea to the MA-05 race and Patrick, the independent candidate.

WBUR will also discuss the proposal tomorrow morning sometime between 10:00 - 11:00 AM, when host Tom Ashbrook and guest host Jack Beatty, editor for the Atlantic Monthly, will feature it as one of the week’s top stories.
