President Obama Needs All of Us Right Now!

Republicans can carp about Democrats rushing things through Congress, but Republicans are just as guilty if more more guilty of that tactic.  This week, Republicans in Congress are set to vote (HCONRES112) to eliminate Medicare as you know it, and use the savings to pay for more special tax breaks for big corporations, political donors and Washington special interests. We must stand with President Obama to make sure right-wing Republicans don’t get away with breaking this sacred promise to our seniors.

After you watch the video, please join us in calling on all Americans who care about keeping our promises to future generations to contact their Member of Congress and tell them to keep their hands off our Medicare. The vote is imminent so we must take action now. Nevada’s Representatives:

• Democrat Shelley Berkeley …. (202)  225-5965
• Republican Mark Amodei …. (202) 225-6155
• Republican Joe Heck …. (202) 225-3252

Call  the Republican Leadership:

• Republican Speaker John Boehner ….  (202) 225-6205
• Republican Leader Eric Cantor …. (202) 225-2815
• Republican Budget Chairman Paul Ryan …. (202) 225-3031

Key Points

• It’s an insult to ask seniors, who have worked hard their entire lives earning Medicare benefits, to be asked to sacrifice, while millionaires and Big Oil companies receive huge tax breaks.
• The Republican plan ends the Medicare guarantee and shifts substantial costs onto seniors.
• This is about our values and priorities. We must have a budget that is fair and protects Medicare, while creating jobs, strengthening small businesses, rebuilding the middle class and reducing the deficit.
