Rally at Capitol Today to Save the American Dream

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The AFL-CIO is joining MoveOn to sponsor a rally to Save the American Dream today at noon on the east side of the U.S. Capitol steps. “In the past few days, it’s become increasingly clear that congressional Republicans are willing to crash our entire economy just to keep tax breaks for millionaires, billionaires, corporate jet owners and oil companies,” says the AFL-CIO. “They’re holding our economy hostage, but we still have the power to rise up and demand Congress raise the debt ceiling without a budget that savages working families.” You can also click here now to send a message to Congress now to tell your representative and your senators to oppose the Boehner plan to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
