Keep it Moving
The
election results are in. We made our decisions on candidates and issues. Now,
we're ready to get to work, with all willing parties, to strengthen the economy,
expand the Middle Class and move America forward.
That
starts now.
The
first item of business is making sure that we don’t roll back critical programs
like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. As our Members of Congress head to
Washington to wrap up business this month, let’s send a strong message that we
need more economic security, not less. We don’t need any “grand bargain” that
cuts our Social Security benefits, raises the retirement age for Social Security
and Medicare and cuts Medicaid, a program that many of our loved ones rely upon.
And, we certainly don’t need to cut these programs to pay for more tax breaks
for the richest two percent of Americans. That’s NOT what Americans voted for
yesterday!
Tomorrow, events are happening across the country.
Check www.americawantstowork.org to see if there’s
one near you. And, we need to call Congress as well.

Let’s all work together to make sure we’re keeping our country strong. Please
