Congressman Pompeo: Tax the rich & protect social services

We urge you to stand up for us and make sure any fiscal deal reached ends the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% AND protects Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits from any cuts. This is what the American people voted for in November, and we expect you to vote the same way.

Why is this important?

Congress faces a fiscal choice—not a "cliff"—about whether to end tax cuts for the rich or cut vital programs and delay tax extensions for working and middle class people. The GOP is holding us hostage again, and we could slide back into a recession if they win.

We will deliver these petitions to Congressman Mike Pompeo on Dec 10 as part of the national day of action on the fiscal showdown.
