Budget bill

US citizens: phone your congresscritter, whether perse Democrat or Republican, and call on per to vote against the Republican cut-the-poor budget bill.

Call a Republican because it's their bill.

Call a Democrat because there is a danger that some Democrats will yield to pressure to vote for it. Please make sure perse does not.

People for the American Way reports:

If Republicans get their way, this bill will:

• Delay Social Security checks for millions of seniors who rely on them to make ends meet.
• Reduce FEMA resources, leaving communities vulnerable in the face of natural disasters.
• Cut cancer research funding, putting lifesaving treatments on the chopping block.
• Make air travel less safe, cutting staff who ensure aviation safety.
• Slash $23 billion in veterans' benefits, betraying those who served our country by gutting healthcare and assistance programs.

I did not make a link to their page because it suggests using a nonfree program. It is against my principles to legitimize that.

I think the same bill would also attack Medicaid.
