Take Action Now: Join our
National Budget Call-In Days on Wednesday, July 13 through Friday, July
15. Call your senators toll-free at 888-907-1485, and tell
them that middle-class and struggling families must not bear the brunt of the
budget cuts. Demand a budget plan that reduces the deficit responsibly and
works for all Americans – not just millionaires and big business. Urge your
senators to oppose harmful cuts or caps to programs serving our nation’s most
vulnerable communities.
Tell
them: Please prevent
harmful cuts or caps to low/moderate-income programs in the negotiations to
reduce the deficit. Please insist on fair increases in revenues to prevent
reckless cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, and other essential
services.
Though reducing
the long-term deficit is an important step toward stabilizing and growing our
nation’s economy, it is critical that it is done responsibly. Americans
deserve a plan that gradually reduces the deficit without reckless cuts to
Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and other vital programs serving
millions of families, children, seniors, and struggling
communities.
Join our National Budget Call-In Days on
Wednesday, July 13 through Friday, July 15 and make sure your voice is heard.
Call your senators toll-free at 888-907-1485.
Some in
Congress would jeopardize our economy by refusing any revenue increase and
targeting trillions of dollars in cuts to essential health, nutrition,
education, employment, housing, and other programs. Work is proceeding this
week to craft a deficit reduction deal that may make decisions for the next
decade. Please tell your Senators
that our future depends on essential investments, and that the wealthiest among
us can afford to pay their share.
We support a
budget plan that follows these basic principles. Any agreement to
reduce the deficit must:
• Protect millions of
vulnerable Americans who rely on federal support to meet their critical needs
from the burden of deficit reduction;
• Rely at least as
much on fair revenue increases as on spending cuts;
•
Reject any effort to impose an amendment to the Constitution that would
require a balanced budget every year, regardless of the state of the economy;
and
• Protect investments – such as public infrastructure,
education and job training – that are vital to our nation’s economic
advancement.
With so much at stake, it is more important
than ever that your senators hear from you.
