Dear Neighbor,

Save Medicare!
This week, Republicans in Congress proposed the outright destruction
of some of our nation's most valued and important institutions.
This is not an exaggeration. After two years of Tea Party radicalism,
we've finally seen their terrible vision of America's
future.

And we have to fight back.

The 2012 budget proposal from Rep. Paul Ryan, eagerly supported by
Colorado Republicans like Rep. Doug Lamborn and Rep. Scott Tipton,
will destroy Medicare in just over a decade's time. Even though
you may have paid taxes into Medicare for decades, Americans under 55
will face the crushing burden of health care costs as seniors, with a
voucher program deliberately intended to force them to pay
ever-greater shares of their income on their health care. (Center for
Economic and Policy Research, 4/6/2011)

The 2012 GOP budget proposal will gut nearly every public institution
and vital service imaginable: our schools, our roads, criminal
justice--virtually everything except military spending. As if to add
insult to injury, Republicans are actually proposing new tax cuts for
corporations and the wealthy, instead of doing more to reduce the
national debt! Don't be fooled, this is not fiscal
responsibility. It's looting working families.

There has perhaps never been a more grave threat to a century of
progress in America. The institutions that have given our nation the
world's highest standard of living--institutions we take for
granted every day--are in danger.

Click here: send a message instantly to your member of Congress and
United States Senators, and tell them you REJECT the Paul Ryan 2012
budget.

Today in Washington, conservative ideologues are threatening to shut
down the federal government if they don't get their way on
massive cuts to the 2011 budget. The President and some members of
Congress have tried to negotiate with them to little avail. Millions
of Americans are about to suffer. But what they have proposed for 2012
and beyond goes much, much further. And all of this is happening after
the irresponsible Bush tax cuts were renewed. It's a "crisis" of their
own making, and now they're going to "solve" it by destroying
Medicare? They must be stopped! It's now or never.

Send a message right now to Congress: a fair deal for all Americans,
or no deal.
