On Tuesday, November 15, Tell Senators Kerry & Brown:
No More Cuts! Tax the 1%! End the Wars! Invest in Jobs!
Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) is one of 12 members of a Congressional “Supercommittee” charged with cutting $1.2 trillion from the federal deficit by November 23. Sen. Kerry is negotiating a “deal” with Republicans that would cut more than $1 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs that serve the poor and middle class.
Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) opposes any tax increases on the 1% or cuts to the military—the only way to avoid deep cuts to programs that serve the 99%!
They need to hear from us! Join us on Tuesday, November 15, from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. for a rally and press conference in front of Sen. Kerry’s office at One Bowdoin Square, Boston (corner of Cambridge and New Chardon Streets; use Bowdoin or Government Center T stop).
We will deliver more than 4,000 letters from Boston voters on Election Day, as well as cards and petitions from across Massachusetts, demanding that Senators Kerry & Brown:
-
Make the 1% pay their fair share of taxes -
No cuts to Social Security, Medicare & other vital programs
-
End the wars, bring the troops home and cut military spending
-
Create jobs and get people back to work
