In the hours after Republicans rammed through their poison-pill packed version of the payroll tax cut extension, over 97,000 of you stood with President Obama’s veto threat.
Can you help us reach 100,000 strong before Midnight tonight?
Sign our petition right now telling House Republicans to stop holding the payroll tax cut hostage to Tea Party demands >> http://www.dccc.org/page/m/1d63c87f/1b5 ... 7164/VEsE/
The Republican plan would force millions of seniors to pay more for health care and one million unemployed Americans to sacrifice their benefits -- but refuse to ask the wealthiest 1% or special interests like Big Oil to sacrifice one red cent.
Now, if Speaker Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Tea Party Republicans refuse to back down from their outrageous demands, the government could be forced to shut down tomorrow at midnight.
We cannot allow Republicans to shut down the government and we cannot go home for the holidays with 160 million Americans facing a $1,000 tax increase on January 1, 2012.
Stand with President Obama’s veto threat and help us put pressure on the Republicans by signing our petition today >> http://www.dccc.org/page/m/1d63c87f/1b5 ... 7164/VEsE/
Thanks for acting fast,
Nancy Pelosi
