The President announced meetings with Congressional leaders to take place Thursday to make progress on the deficit reduction plans now being negotiated.  There are grave concerns there will be large spending cuts, in Medicaid and elsewhere, that will hurt low-income people.  Advocates must elevate the potential devastating impacts these negotiations can have on low-income people and programs.  By calling or emailing the White House you can show strong support for holding firm against damaging cuts.

Call or send a message to the White House (President Obama and Vice President Biden). Call toll-free: 1-888-245-0215 or send a message (you can paste the following into the WH comment line or write something in your own words)

Urge them to:

Please hold firm and prevent harmful cuts or caps to low-income programs in the negotiations to reduce the deficit. Please insist on fair increases in revenues to prevent reckless cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, and other essential services.

Please take action today by asking the White House to protect our families in the deficit reduction deal. Go here to send the White House your message:http://1.usa.gov/jdipsp
