Next week, the House of Representatives will vote on a budget proposal that is stunningly extreme.
It is difficult to emphasize enough how much damage this budget would do - to young and old alike, to low-income and middle class people, and to our nation's economy.
Your voice is urgently needed. Please call your Representative - call 1-888-245-0215 to reach the U.S. Capitol Switchboard toll-free.
Call any time between now and when the vote occurs (we don't yet know when next week).
Ask to be directed to your Rep's office and deliver a message like this*:
"I am a constituent and I strongly urge you to vote NO on the House Budget Committee's Budget Resolution. It would slash Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, education... in fact, all the investments that help Americans to be economically secure. It denies vital help for low-income and middle class people while giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and big corporations. Please reject these extreme proposals - they would weaken federal protections in a recession and stall economic growth for us all."
2) April 18th
We could share some or all of this with the field as they prep for the 18th.
