Lucas --
Remember President Obama's State of the Union last year when he said "We don't quit"?
Well now Republican Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor have quit. After hard negotiating for two weeks, they irresponsibly just walked out of the room and quit talks with the White House.
Now we are days away from hitting the debt limit. This is no time for games. The entire American economy is being pushed to the brink of disaster.
The DCCC launched a hard-hitting advertising campaign this past weekend and continuing through August to hold Republicans accountable for their reckless governing. Can we count on your support?

The Republicans are playing chicken with the economy. Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor realized they couldn't protect every tax break for billionaires and big oil, so they acted like children and walked out on negotiations.
With our nation's economy at stake, we have just a matter of days to expose Republicans' real agenda.

It's clear that Boehner and Cantor are trying to satisfy every whim of the radical Tea Party Republicans in Congress. With your immediate help, we can hold Republicans accountable and make sure the Tea Party is toast in 2012.
Thanks for your support,
Steve Israel
