Paul Ryan's latest attack on the poor.



Campaign for America's Future


You might want to sit down for this.

Paul Ryan wants to replace virtually all federal poverty programs with "opportunity grants" to the states. He proposes that we end food stamps, rental assistance and other vital programs and replace them with a check to state governors like Rick Perry and Scott Walker.

The governors, according to Ryan, will “personalize” anti-poverty measures. In his 73-page report released this month, he outlines the most audacious cut to the safety net in American history. Not a surprise: Ryan authored the slash-and-burn budgets passed the GOP House.

Republicans have a reputation for being callous towards the poor. And things haven’t changed. Ryan's "Opportunity Grant" is this decade's "Compassionate Conservatism." The only “opportunity” Ryan cares about is his and his party's electoral prospects.

Campaign for America's Future has taken on Paul Ryan before and won. We organized against his draconian budgets and exposed his plans to cut Medicare and Social Security.


This is a fight we undertake together. In 2014, 2016 and beyond.

Thank you for your commitment.
