Friend --

Thanks to Republican obstructionism in Congress, the nation
was forced into the sequester last Friday -- a series of
automatic and destructive budgets cuts that you and your
neighbors are just beginning to feel.

In the face of these devastating cuts, House Speaker John
Boehner went on TV and said, "I don't know whether it's
going to hurt the economy or not ... I don't think anyone
quite understands how the sequester is really going to work."

Really? We're not talking about some abstract numbers on a
piece of paper -- this is real.

The sequester will cut 10,000 teaching jobs, 70,000 spots
for preschoolers in Head Start, $43 million for food
programs for seniors, $35 million for local fire
departments, and access to nutrition assistance for over
half a million women and their families.

And the reason congressional Republicans let these cuts go
into effect is because they simply wouldn't support closing
tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires -- for
things like yachts and corporate jets. I wish I were kidding.

More than 340,000 OFA supporters have added their names to
support President Obama's balanced plan and call on
congressional Republicans to take action to stop the
sequester budget cuts right now.

Thanks, and keep it up.

Friend --

Today, because congressional Republicans refused to act,
devastating budget cuts known as the sequester are going into effect.

They're self-inflicted wounds, and they didn't have to happen.

Congress can stop all of this right away -- and pursue a balanced
approach to deficit reduction.

That's what the vast majority of Americans want, and yesterday,
more than 100,000 Americans called on Congress to be reasonable
about the budget.

Friend --

Brace yourself.

If congressional Republicans don't act by tomorrow, we're
going to be hit by a series of devastating, automatic budget
cuts called the sequester.

It's a sledgehammer to the budget, our economy, and
millions of Americans across the country -- and the most
frustrating part? It doesn't have to happen.

The majority of Americans support President Obama's
balanced approach to deficit reduction -- add your name
if you do, too:

So far, congressional Republicans are refusing to
compromise -- all because they don't want to close tax
loopholes for millionaires, billionaires, vacation homes,
and corporate jets. Seriously.

This has very real consequences.

On the chopping block are 10,000 teaching jobs, more than
70,000 kids' spots in Head Start, $35 million for local fire
departments, $43 million to make sure seniors don't go
hungry, and access to nutrition assistance for 600,000
women and their families. That's just a few of the things we'll
lose.

President Obama has put forth a balanced deficit reduction
plan with smart spending cuts that protect the critical
investments needed to strengthen middle-class families and
our economy.

We need to send a strong signal about where Americans
stand on this issue.
