To the Congress and President of the United States: Sequestration budget cuts are cruel. They hurt the poor, the disabled, and low-income families. Across-the-board budget cuts for services like Section 8 housing, Medicare insurance, Food Stamps, Head Start, (the list goes on) is too hard on those who can least afford it. Please stop sequestration budget cuts now.
Why is this important?
No one stopped the Budget Control Act from taking effect and now the number of budget cuts for low-income Americans is unbearable. Medicare co-pays have gone up and now I have to decide between buying groceries and going to the doctor's. Food Stamps were cut as well and the price of food keeps going up. Then I was cut from an approved priority list of disabled adults for Section 8 rental assistance. What are low-income and disabled people supposed to do?
