DCCC Launches Campaign in 41 Republican Districts for Choosing Millionaires Over Medicare
Source: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) today launched a Medicare March paid and grassroots campaign to hold 41 vulnerable House Republicans accountable for the new Republican budget that chooses Millionaires over Medicare. The first phase of the DCCCs campaign will hold these targeted Republicans accountable with automated phone calls that will patch voters through to their Member of Congress' office so they can urge them to vote against the new Republican budget that ends the Medicare guarantee for seniors, while protecting tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. The campaign also includes citizen phone banks and a new online Medicare Action Center, www.MedicareMadness2012.com.
Last year, House Republicans voted for a budget that would end Medicare, almost doubling health care costs for seniors according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), while protecting these tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil. Tomorrow, Republican Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan is introducing a plan to do it again.
Its March which means House Republicans are on a maddening push once again to end Medicare and raise health care costs for seniors, while giving more special tax breaks to Big Oil companies and millionaires, said DCCC Chairman Steve Israel. Republicans have made their priorities crystal clear, once again. We will go district by district to hold Republicans accountable for their reckless and relentless efforts to balance the budget on the backs of seniors.
The Medicare Action Center, MedicareMadness2012.com, gives grassroots Democrats information on upcoming town hall meetings with the tools they need to speak out about the Republicans newest plan to end Medicare. The center gives voters access to tools to participate in online phone banking, write letters to Members of Congress and letters to the editor, and get Facebook and Twitter updates.
