Let's Make Boehner and McConnell Responsible for working with Obama to Resolve this Budget Crisis
The Republicans have already started with what they will and will not do to prevent the budget crisis. Let's tell them overwhelmingly that we expect results as proven by the election.
Why is this important?
The Republicans have unequivocally refused to work with Obama for the past 4 years in order to make him a "one term president." This obviously didn't work, yet Senate Minority Leader McConnell still says, 48 hours after the election, one thing is certain: He is in no way chastened by Tuesday's results. "Let me put it very clearly," says the five-term Republican senator from Kentucky. "I am not willing to raise taxes to turn off the sequester. Period." Then, Boehner held a news conference on Friday where he declined to wade too deep into specifics, saying it could restrict his options at the negotiating table.
They have not heard the demands of the middle class to raise taxes on the wealthy and quit giving them a carte blanche pass to do as they please. We do not agree with their policies or reasoning to keep the Bush tax breaks for the rich, which did nothing but put us on the road to ruin during his 8 year residency.
Sign this petition to let the House and Senate Republicans that we are watching them and expect results. They are not in office to work for their own political party but to represent the citizens of the United States.
