There Is An Alternative to sequestration (with austerity) vs. a grand
bargain between the main lines of the established parties (also with
austerity).
*Call your senators and congressperson and urge them to support **The
Balancing Act -?? H.R. 505
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=zdKN%2BLv4c79Nxot6Vki2VkO8vFbib64%2F>
*-?? introduced by the Congressional Progressive Caucus. It avoids cuts
to essential social programs, calls on the most privileged to pay their
share and reduces Pentagon spending to fund job creation and rebuild the
economy.
Tell them that you want them to support The Balancing Act (HR 505) and
oppose both sequestration and austerity measures.*
**
*Tell them to stand with the majority who support substantial cuts to
the Pentagon budget to fund job creation, secure social safety net
programs, rebuild public infrastructure, protect the environment, and
make the super-rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

*Pull the Pork and More
from the Pentagon Budget!
*
The Jobs Not Wars Campaign is calling for a change in our nationâ??s
priorities. We can only meet the needs of the American people and our
communities by cutting the bloated out-of-control Pentagon budget and by
making the super-rich and giant corporations pay their fair share.
We will strengthen our security more by investing in jobs and caring for
people than by lining the pockets of weapons makers, their executives
and lobbyists.
*/Does the budget exist to serve the people or the profit interests of
the arms industry?
/*
The time to act is _now_ !
Call your representative and senators
Wednesday, February 27^th *!*

Unless Congress and the President reach an agreement, on March 1^st
across-the-board mandatory cuts will take place that will devastate
social programs on which so many of the unemployed, poor, elderly,
children and disabled depend.
*There'??s an alternative. It'??s called The Balancing Act -?? H.R.
505
