John,
Negotiations for our nation's economic future and the current debt ceiling are well underway and we're racing towards the June 1 deadline. Republicans are holding our economy hostage to force their extreme agenda.
Republicans are trying to force through drastic cuts that could take jobs from 780,000 people, nutrition assistance from 1.2 million women, infants, and children, and Medicaid coverage from up to 21 million Americans. Surrendering to these extremist demands sets a dangerous precedent that emboldens Republicans to pursue additional, anti-democratic hostage-taking.
We can’t let that happen. That’s why I am leading the Congressional Progressive Caucus in calling on the President to consider every legislative action possible to prevent our country from defaulting and maintain critical federal support to our communities.
But in order to make an impact, I need as much support and momentum as possible to amplify this call for action. Can you add your name to our petition to support a key solution to halt major cuts to domestic priorities and put an end to Republicans' gridlock on our economy?
Right-wing Republicans like Kevin McCarthy are more invested in meeting with bank executives and setting unrealistic demands including proposing deep cuts to key federal programs in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
We can't afford to have any leadership in office who would rather send our economy into a spiraling recession than raise the debt ceiling and put our country back on track. And we can't afford to miss out on this moment to urge Republicans to set personal interests aside and show up for everyday Americans.
In solidarity,
Pramila Jayapal
