We can no longer ignore the reality that some of the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations in this country pay little or nothing in federal taxes. We must act NOW.
We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history and the Democratic majority in Congress, slim though it is, must show that it has the courage to act boldly and decisively in addressing the multiple crises we now face.
As we speak I, and other members of the Senate, are working on the most consequential budget for working people in the modern history of this country, a budget that I hope and expect will be voted on within the next month. As we go forward we will face massive opposition from Republicans, from wealthy campaign contributors, from corporate interests and their lobbyists, and from much of the media. But, in the midst of all this opposition, we must prevail. Now is the time to restore faith on the part of the American people that they have a government in this country that is working for them, not just the 1%.
Please help us pass this budget. Please make your voice heard.
Now is not the time to think small. It is the time to think and act BIG. But big change in this country never happens without a grassroots movement of people coming together and demanding action. And that starts with you making your voice heard. So what do you say?
It is time to get our priorities right in this country, and that starts with getting the American people the help they desperately need right now.
