We need to make Washington, D.C. listen. The middle class can’t be put on the back burner any longer

[midnight]

"Can you believe that Congressman Duffy was the first member to leave the floor for the August recess? CQ Roll Call caught him as he was running down the stairs ahead of his colleagues.

Now the middle class, small businesses, and farms are being put on hold again, waiting at least five weeks to hear if any type of relief is coming.

I joined Pat Kreitlow when he asked me to stand with him and demand that Congressman Duffy and his colleagues stop stalling and playing politics with important legislation. Please sign our petition and ask Sean Duffy to focus on passing real solutions that invest in job creation and deficit relief.

Wisconsin's 7th CD deserves a Representative like Pat Kreitlow who is going to stand up and fight for the middle class."
Thank you,

Finance Director
Kreitlow for Congress


Below is Kritlow's response...

Cate-

"After accomplishing very little once again, Congress is leaving Washington, D.C. Friday for its August recess- a five week, taxpayer-funded vacation.

We need to make Washington, D.C. listen. The middle class can’t be put on the back burner any longer. Farmers are facing a historic drought, small businesses aren't getting help, and a tax cut for the middle class is being held hostage. We need real relief, starting with an end to the Bush tax cuts that cost us nearly $2 trillion between 2002 and 2009.

Please join me in calling on Congressman Sean Duffy and his colleagues to focus on legislation that invests in job creation and real deficit relief that reflects the values of middle class Wisconsin families.

While Congress is on a break, I know that you will be working hard. Shouldn’t your congressman be doing the same? Wisconsin’s 7th District deserves a representative who will stand up for them, and make sure their voices are heard in Washington, D.C.

Sign our petition and make D.C. listen. Let Sean Duffy know that Wisconsinites and Americans want to see solutions and not more stalling. "

Thank you for your support,

PK

1. Work for the middle-class? Why? To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, where else are they going to go?

That sentiment in DC is not limited to liberals and progressives.

The Republicans need to be defeated, however, because they are worse.
