President Obama wants to bargain with Republicans to cut the deficit. But he
shouldnt balance the budget on the backs of ordinary people, who didnt
cause the problems.
On November 7, the people of 91 Massachusetts cities and towns passed the
Budget for All 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 Kerrys office to deliver a letter, and
then march to Senator Browns nearby office. Tell our elected officials that
the people have spoken. Dont listen to the greedy and their lobbyists
listen to the people of Massa¬chusetts. Reject the grand bargain its a
turkey!
Sponsored by the Budget for All Coalition, Massachusetts Peace Action, UJP
Afghanistan/Pakistan Task Force, Veterans for Peace, Mass. Alliance of HUD
Tenants, Democratic Socialists of America and Progressive Democrats of
America (list in formation).
