Lucas --
It took Eric Cantor less than an hour to start lying about President Obama's budget.
Cantor and Republicans in Congress are so desperate to protect special tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil companies that they're claiming that President Obama's budget, "calls for massive tax increases on hardworking families and small businesses."
That's a bold-faced lie and they know it.
President Obama's plan would simply ensure that the top 1% aren't paying less in taxes than middle class families.
With the right-wing attack machine already running at full speed, we must set the record straight. We have a hard deadline of Wednesday night to raise the $150,000 we need to get our accountability campaign off the ground.

You have two choices: you can sit back and do nothing or you can fight back.
I know what my good friends at Democratic Headquarters are going to do -- they have a plan for grassroots action and targeted advertising in Republican districts. But, we need you to act fast. We need to get our message out NOW to have an impact.
The question is: are you in?
