National Call-In Days Today and Tomorrow!

[0007]

Please pass this on after you have made your call.

Call your Senators and Representative today and tomorrow,
October 17 and 18, and tell them that cutting vital services for
the poor and the middle class to pay for more tax cuts for the
wealthy are the wrong priorities!

Call at 1-800-426-8073(a toll-free number generously provided
by the American Friends Service Committee) to be connected to
the Capitol Switchboard and tell your Representative and
Senators:

-- Congress must abandon plans to cut $35 billion or
more from vital support programs such as Medicaid, Food Stamps
and student loans.

-- Congress must abandon plans to enact $70 billion or
more in additional tax cuts, primarily for the wealthiest
Americans.

-- With glaring unmet priorities, it would be an
outrage to impose the biggest sacrifices on the most vulnerable
while expanding tax cuts for special interests.

-- Congress must not, in the name of stimulus or
otherwise, exploit the national tragedy of Hurricane Katrina by
enacting tax breaks for special interests that will do little to
help the devastated Gulf region or strengthen the national
economy.
