FCNL: Join Call in Days on Budget Priorities

 

 

The House and Senate will be debating their respective budget resolutions the

week of March 14. Please contact your representative and senators now. Urge them

to vote against the budget resolutions as approved by their Budget Committees.

The budget should not be balanced on the backs of the poor and the most

vulnerable while the wealthiest receive more tax cuts and while the military

receives another half trillion dollar blank check.

 

 

Urge your legislators to support budget priorities that meet human needs and

reduce the deficit by cutting wasteful, unnecessary military spending and

rolling back tax cuts for the wealthiest.

 

 

Urge them to protect low-income families, the elderly, and people with

disabilities by opposing cuts in Medicaid, nutrition, education, and other vital

services.

 

Those who have prospered the most in our country can afford the cost of reducing

the deficit far better than the millions of families who are struggling to find

quality, affordable housing, childcare, and healthcare. Our country can and

should do better to meet basic human needs.
