This is from a letter from No Labels.
With only a few more days until Congress resumes session, both sides are gearing up for a fight. Democrats are refusing to cut entitlement programs. Republicans are demanding no new taxes. One thing is clear: this intransigence will only lead us further from a solution.
But amidst the loud voices of the extremes and the petty partisan bickering, six senators have come together—despite their differences—to formulate a plan.
These senators, known as the ‘Gang of Six’, have been working together to introduce a bipartisan deficit reduction deal that could be agreed upon by Democrats and Republicans alike. The plan is widely expected to be rolled out next week, but already critics are lashing out.
A letter from No Labels
If our leaders aren’t willing to sit down and hear these proposals, how will we ever find a solution?
In the next several weeks, Congress will decide the fate of our financial future. The 'Gang of Six' are working together and putting their labels aside for the future of our country -- now we need you to do the same. Click here to send a letter to your local newspaper and make your voice heard. Let your neighbors and representatives know there are citizens who demand a bipartisan solution. We can ensure our future economic stability - but only if we do it together.
Now is the time to stand up and speak out. The stakes are too high for silence.
Many thanks,
Nancy Jacobson & Mark McKinnon
Co-Founders of No Labels
