Dinos suggest, "nobody wants to see what's in sausage-making, they just want it done", we know what's in their "deal", they’re grinding up the future’s of all lower-middle-class to poor; we can stand, say no to the devolutionary direction the S.S. tea party is steering their tripartisanship in- we won‘t watch our nation crashed into fascist rocks, our futures dashed upon them, for the uber-greedy! Call your Congress person and ask them to vote no on the deficit bill.
Sample talking points, letter:
Dear Congress Person,
Hi. Oppose the creation of a uber-Congress in the deficit bill. The constitution makes no mention of such a body, and I understand this is how members of Congress hope to insulate themselves now, from making unpopular votes to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits, in the future. On behalf of the elderly and all citizens who will face serious setbacks if these cuts are enacted, I want you to know that I consider a vote for this bill a vote to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits; and I will not be supporting you in the next election if you vote for this ‘uber-Congress to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits’ bill, the, supposed, deficit bill. Goodbye.
Matutinally Yours,
(name, address, if using as a letter to the editor, don’t forget to include your phone #, not inside the letter)
