office, Cambridge St and New Chardon St, Boston*
President Obama wants to bargain with Republicans to cut the deficit. But he
shouldn’t balance the budget on the backs of ordinary people, who didn’t
cause the problems.
On November 7, the people of 91 Massachusetts cities and towns passed the
/Budget for All [2]/by a 3 to 1 margin. It calls for budget principles that
will put people back to work, fight climate change, rebuild our economy for
the future, and stop endless wars, while balancing the budget:
• Stop the cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment
benefits, housing, food and veterans’ benefits
• Invest in jobs in manufacturing, schools, housing, renewable energy,
transportation and public services
• Close corporate tax loopholes, end offshore tax havens, and raise taxes
on incomes over $250,000
• Reduce the military budget, end the war in Afghanistan and bring troops
home safely now
We will gather in front of Senator Kerry’s office to deliver a letter, and
then march to Senator Brown’s nearby office. Tell our elected officials
that the people have spoken. Don’t listen to the greedy and their
lobbyists – listen to the people of Massachusetts. *Reject the grand
bargain – it’s a turkey!*
