Please participate in call-in days on October 17-18 – call your senators & representative and ask them to oppose budget cuts for the poor and tax cuts for the rich.
Please care enough to do this and pass the information on. Thank you!
Excerpt from a Sojourners email...
Just weeks after Hurricane Katrina exposed the crisis of poverty in America, Congress will debate as early as Wednesday how much money should be cut from the budgets of health care, nutrition assistance, and other vital services for poor and working families. That's right, they will cut funds - and the question is by how much. Perhaps equally astonishing, they will decide how much - up to $70 billion - they will cut taxes for the richest people in America. In Washington, this may be business as usual, but as people of faith, we believe that budgets are moral documents, and so far this budget is morally bankrupt.
We have a short amount of time to make a big difference, and we need your voice now!
Call Congress now. Tell them to get their priorities straight!
