Tell Congress to Oppose Boehner Plan to Cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) insists on severe cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and keeping huge tax breaks for millionaires and corporations as part of his debt ceiling plan.

Boehner’s plan would force Congress to agree to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid cuts within six months.

You can take action today by clicking here and telling your representatives and senators to oppose the Boehner plan. Tell them that there is no shared sacrifice in Boehner’s plan. Instead, his plan reserves all of the pain for working families, seniors, children, people with disabilities and even veterans. Congressional Republicans are recklessly holding our economy hostage to these demands.

 

With default imminent because of Republican hostage-takers, there is immense pressure for more lawmakers to cave and pass a rotten deal that hurts working families. So take action now. Click here and tell your lawmakers to oppose the Boehner plan.

Tomorrow, working people and allies will take part in emergency rallies outside the offices of Senate Republicans, demanding an end to the political brinksmanship that’s threatening to force the nation into default, kill jobs, slash the most important services for working families and more.
