Subject: FCNL: Join Call in Days on Budget Priorities

The House and Senate will be debating their respective budget
resolutions the week of March 14. Please contact your representative
and senators now. Urge them to vote against the budget resolutions as
approved by their Budget Committees. The budget should not be balanced
on the backs of the poor and the most vulnerable while the wealthiest
receive more tax cuts and while the military receives another half
trillion dollar blank check.

Urge your legislators to support budget priorities that meet human
needs and reduce the deficit by cutting wasteful, unnecessary military
spending and rolling back tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Urge them to protect low-income families, the elderly, and people with
disabilities by opposing cuts in Medicaid, nutrition, education, and
other vital services.

Those who have prospered the most in our country can afford the cost of
reducing the deficit far better than the millions of families who are
struggling to find quality, affordable housing, childcare, and
healthcare. Our country can and should do better to meet basic human
needs.
