Calling for rejection of any BUDGET -that does not address the POOR

Any budget that does not include relief for the poor. This is a moral issue, who we are as a country. How can we allow our government to ignore the growing crisis of POVERTY. It should be priority.

Reject, hell even shut it down. Any Budget that does not have immediate relief for those in need. Stand up for the POOR.

it is immoral to even consider cutting foodstamps or unemployment. All to protect the wealthy. We must address this problem head on. Shut it down if need be. Living under Corporate Greed isnt much of a country anyway. If we don't fight them now? When?

before we will start to fight back? When will it be time to fight back? 20 years from now? 10 years from now? Next year? Next month? Next week? When does tomorrow become today? How about today.

Call them. We either have a country for the 100% or shut it down! It's not worth having if a government, that can not be there for those in POVERTY. Those on the margin of falling into Poverty. Its a crisis, should be priority.
