From the WI AFL-CIO:
We just had an election in which one candidate, Mitt Romney, proposed to lower tax rates for the richest 2% of Americans and cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. He lost.
Now, we are asking Congress to respect the will of the voters by promising to:
1. Let the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2% of Americans expire.
2. Oppose benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Join us around the state on Monday, December 10 as we participate in a Candlelight Campaign Against Cuts to lobby our Congressperson to do what is right for the American people during the lame duck congressional session.
