WALKERESQUE?

Dear Lucas,

Lost in all the back and forth on the debt deal is one important fact: GOP plans to end Medicare and gut Social Security were kept off the table. And GOP plans to end Medicare and gut Social Security will REMAIN off the table during the second round. Because 200,000 of you made your voices heard, we were able to hold the line on this - no small victory for the American people. Thank you for speaking out!

Demand the GOP stop attacking unions and the middle class. Hold them accountable. Sign the petition.

Meanwhile, the "Hell No" Caucus is onto its next fight. The GOP is refusing to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration unless the bill includes a union-busting provision Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker would be proud of. The GOP's intransigence has left 74,000 people out of work at the FAA and on transportation construction projects. It's hurting our economy, and it's actually costing the federal government money through fees it can't collect.

We need your voice again. Will you stand with us and demand that the GOP stop using the legislative process to bust unions?

With your help, our Emergency Media Campaign raised a half million dollars in July. During the debate fight, it helped us expose radical GOP plans to end Medicare. Going forward, we're tracking GOP candidates and calling out each and every one of their lies.

It's going to be a long and vicious fight - Karl Rove's cash ensures that - but as long as we all work together, we can and we will continue to protect what we believe in from Tea Party attacks.

Sincerely,

Guy Cecil
