Republicans Need to Do Their Job!

Maybe it's time to speak up for others and for sensible revenue plans and stop following like sheep.

Are we so short-sighted that we have forgotten that President Clinton and Vice President Gore left office with a budget surplus as far as the eye could see and full employment? Is it just right-wing hatred that has re-written reality?


Bush/Cheney and a Republican Congress squandered our future, created the deficits with Tax Cuts for the Wealthy, Big Corporations and Loopholes Galore, fighting wars of the Social Security Surplus.

Why are Republicans defending Big Corporations that don't pay any taxes???? Baffling!

Please add your name --

When we sent this email last week, we had no idea we would get such an overwhelming response. As a result of the campaign spearheaded by Health Care for America Now and its partners, more than 600,000 people have emailed their representatives telling them to end the sequester.

Please join us in writing to members of Congress to let them know that allowing these cuts to continue is bad politics, bad policy and bad economics.

Thanks,

Will

The Republicans in Congress need to know that you’re furious over their refusal to do their jobs. Write to your congressperson and tell them to repeal the sequester today.

Last week, Congress took rapid action to end furloughs of government air-traffic controllers that had inconvenienced air travelers.

That’s fine. But they didn’t do a single thing to end the sequester’s across-the-board cuts that are hurting more and more people every day. Nope. The GOP won’t budge unless it helps them and the wealthy special interests.



Let’s be honest: The only reason these Senators and Representatives acted so quickly is they didn’t want to be inconvenienced on the tarmac as they flew home for the weekend. They don’t care about the workers at the Federal Aviation Administration – just folks who can afford air travel.

What about the poor and elderly? Kids who can’t go to Head Start? Doctors and cancer patients who rely on Medicare? With the Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, they’re out of luck.

Health Care for America Now is joining the Campaign for America’s Future to tell Congress to repeal the sequester – all of it, not just the parts that affect the wealthy.

Members of Congress have heard from their campaign contributors who like to fly. Now they need to hear from Medicare recipients, from seniors who have lost Meals on Wheels, from parents whose kids can’t go to Head Start anymore and from health care supporters who want the Affordable Care Act to continue moving forward.

Write to your congressperson today and tell them to repeal the whole sequester.

Thanks,
