Call Congress on Valentine’s Day: Tell members to stop heartless cuts

Dear Teamster Political Coordinator,

Congressional Republicans are taking the economy hostage again — threatening to blow it up unless vital services for working families are cut. This Thursday, February 14th, we encourage Local Unions, Joint Councils, and your members to join in the national call-in day to tell Congress to have a heart and reject any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, as well as the across-the-board cuts affecting working families that will take place under sequestration. Instead, loopholes for Wall Street and the richest 2% of Americans must be closed.

On Thursday, February 14th, dial 1-888-659-9401 to be connected to your Members of Congress and ask that they stop heartless cuts that will affect the middle class. A flyer that can be used for worksite distribution can be found here.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact the Department of Field and Political Action at (202) 624-6993 for more information.
