The House is voting today on Speaker Boehner's plan to cut the deficit, which the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) says, "could well produce the greatest increase in poverty and hardship produced by any law in modern U.S. history."¹

We have only hours to stop this bill in its tracks, so Congress can find a balanced plan that avoids default while protecting seniors and working Americans and making the rich pay their share.

So, we need to make sure that the phones in Representative Steve Chabot's office are ringing off the hook today with calls from constituents telling him to vote no on the Boehner bill. This is an important vote, and you can be sure that Rep. Chabot's office will be keeping careful track of all the calls coming in.

Can you call Rep. Chabot's office right now, identify yourself as a constituent, and say, "I urge you to vote 'no' on the Boehner bill"?

According to the CBPP, the Boehner bill would require "deep cuts in the years immediately ahead in Social Security and Medicare benefits for current retirees...or wholesale evisceration of basic assistance programs for vulnerable Americans."²

And because the Boehner plan is only short-term, it's unlikely to avoid a historic downgrade in the U.S. credit rating right now.³ That will trigger higher mortgage and credit card rates—hurting already struggling families.⁴

The Boehner plan is no choice, it's no solution, and we need responsible Republicans to vote no.

Can you call Rep. Chabot's office right now, identify yourself as a constituent, and say, "I urge you to vote 'no' on the Boehner bill"?
