Across-the-board budget
cuts—called sequestration—will cost more than 1 million jobs this year
and many more jobs over the next decade. There is a simple solution to
make this problem go away: repeal sequestration. It is that simple.
Extremist lawmakers are using sequestration as leverage to get their
way in Congress. They want to cut Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare
benefits and gut essential services working people depend on, while
protecting tax breaks for Wall Street and the richest 2% of Americans.
The solution is to repeal sequestration—not replace it—so we can put
these manufactured crises behind us and focus on the urgent problems of
putting America back to work, raising wages and reducing economic
inequality.
Call your members of Congress now at
888-659-9401, and tell them to repeal sequestration. Tomorrow, March 20
th will also be a national day of action across the country to send this message to Congress. Please check
www.americawantstowork.org for a listing of events, and we hope you can make it out to one in your area!
