There’s still time – the House votes March 21st on the Ryan budget!
Email Your Senators and Representative About Good and Bad Budget Plans
Last week, House and Senate budget proposals offered starkly different visions for how to address America’s fiscal challenges and priorities. Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-WA) and the Senate Budget Committee adopted a budget resolution that would provide needed revenues from fair sources, cut defense spending over 10 years, and create jobs. The Senate budget is closely aligned with the SAVE for All Principles.
On the other hand, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) presented a budget resolution balanced on the backs of everyday Americans while providing massive tax breaks to corporations and wealthy individuals. Going even further than the mindless, across-the-board cuts enacted in sequestration, the House Republican budget would repeal Obama’s health care reform, voucherize Medicare, and deeply cut Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), Pell grants, TANF, low-income tax credits for working families and child nutrition programs.
Please ask your Senators to vote YES on Senator Murray’s budget and to ask your Representative to vote NO on Representative Ryan’s budget.
