[IMC] Timely Federal Budget Resources From NPP

[Fasharra Branagan]

Dear Danielle Chynoweth,

I write on behalf of National Priorities Project in the midst of -- as you
well-know -- a moment of significant crisis for our nation's budget. NPP's
team has launched a series of timely new resources to help every-day
Americans understand the high-stakes negotiations happening in Washington.

The government shutdown is affecting all of us. See how we got to this
point and how we can demand better.

How the Shutdown is Undermining Our Democracy and Economy:

Cost?<http://nationalpriorities.org/en/blog/2013/10/03/how-much-does-government-shutdown-cost/>

Lawmakers are talking about tax reform. The stakes are high for every-day
Americans who generally don't have access to information about how our tax
code benefits the privileged few.

Tax Breaks Give Away Billions to the Wealthiest-- See Exactly Who Benefits:

Even in a climate of so-called austerity, hundreds of billions of taxpayer
dollars pour into the Department of Defense each year. Get the facts on
military spending and the local impact in your community.
