Jack, the U.S. is on the brink of defaulting on its debt obligations, and the response from House Republicans has been to exploit this critical situation by supporting a legislative package that involves harsh, steep spending cuts.
Sign and send the petition to the U.S. Senate: Pass clean debt ceiling legislation.
SIGN THE PETITION
By trying to tie spending cuts to the raising of the debt ceiling, Republicans are unnecessarily politicizing a mechanism that, in essence, enables the U.S. to pay its bills.
Now more than ever, we need our lawmakers to act in our nation's best interest. We cannot afford the potential economic and social consequences that could arise if the U.S. defaults – which has never happened in our nation's history.
We can pass a clean funding bill to extend the debt limit without cuts to vital programs and benefits, job risk, or benefits for Big Oil and Gas. The U.S. Senate must pass clean debt ceiling legislation to avoid a fiscal crisis.
Sign and send the petition to the U.S. Senate: Pass clean debt ceiling legislation.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thank you for fighting with us,
