John,
President Biden's debt ceiling deal with a group of fascist Republicans willing to hold our economy at gunpoint would fast-track Joe Manchin's dirty deal -- even though it's incredibly unpopular with everybody except the energy companies who will profit. The deal also cruelly attacks seniors and our vulnerable neighbors by making it harder to get food and much more. Senators Tim Kaine and Jeff Merkley introduced essential amendments to the deal that would stop Manchin's Dirty Deal and remove other un-American measures that will hurt our environment and make our neighbors suffer. The Senate vote is coming soon, and your Senators need to hear from you directly. Click here to call and tell them to vote NO on any deal that doesn’t include the Merkley and Kaine amendments! Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey and Jeff Merkley are all speaking out against ramming through a flawed deal without fixing it.
The precedent of allowing economic terrorists to inflict pain on ordinary Americans by threatening default is very troubling, and we take it as further confirmation of our disturbing slide into fascism. That's why we need to stand against these attempts by corporations to use economic hostage-taking to extract policies that harm our people and have no popular support. We cannot reward this behavior. Call your Senators and tell them to support the Merkley and Kaine amendments and vote NO on anything but a clean debt ceiling deal. When we organize, we win. Our Revolution
