Robert --

Congressional Republicans have taken their partisan
brinkmanship to an entirely new level.

Unless they act by March 1st, billions of dollars in automatic
cuts -- the so-called sequester -- will start to take effect.
If it does, more than 2 million jobs could be lost, 70,000
children would be kicked off of Head Start, and 10,000
teachers' jobs would be put at risk.

With this fiscal crisis looming, what did John Boehner and
Republican leadership do? They went on vacation, calling
recess for the House this week even though Democrats
voted to stay and work to avert this crisis.

This is no time for recess. It's time for them to do their job.

Demand Republicans in Congress come back to the table
and work with the President to avoid this crisis. Sign the

The unbelievable thing is -- this crisis is completely avoidable.

The President has laid out a specific plan with detailed cuts to
avoid the sequester and reduce the deficit in a balanced way, and
Democrats in Congress have put forward a balanced approach as
well.

But Republicans in Congress would rather see our recovery and
middle-class economic security be put at risk than close one tax
loophole for big corporations and the wealthiest among us.

John Boehner and House Republican leaders need to hear from
thousands of Americans across the country that they must come
back to the table and work with us to avoid these automatic cuts.
The only way they'll do their job is if our overwhelming response
leaves them no choice.

Sign the petition now:

Together, we can do this.

Thanks,
