Speaker John Boehner and his colleagues in Republican leadership are demanding extreme cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid - all the while continuing to protect tax loopholes and subsidies for millionaires, billionaires and corporations. The GOP plan, which every single Republican member of Missouri's Congressional delegation endorses, requires that Congress agree to cuts to critical programs that working families depend on.
Under the Boehner's plan, working families, seniors, children, the disabled and veterans are those who shoulder the burden of the cuts the GOP proposes. Even worse, instead of working towards solving the problems our country faces, they are recklessly holding our economy hostage over the their demands.
Join us in demanding that Congress oppose Boehner's plan.
Ultimately, the GOP plan would cause the worst case scenario to come true: our country would be forced into debt, more jobs would be lost, interest rates would go up on our mortgages, credit cards and students loans.
All this because Republicans are willing to drive our country and economy off a cliff unless all of their demands are met.
We have no time to lose. Please send a mesage to Congress now. Tell your representative and our senators, Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt, to oppose Boehner's plan. In addition, tell them that we won't stand for cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, especially when the rich and corporations aren't being asked to share in the sacrifice.
