THE POLITICAL FRONT: PROTEST BUSHS' 2007PROPOSED BUDGET!


On Tuesday, President Bush introduced his proposed budget for 2007. Morally speaking, it's a disaster: it cuts billions from Medicare and education while giving tax cuts to the very rich.1 It even leaves out the funds required to properly rebuild New Orleans. We called last year's budget a "reverse-Robin Hood budget"—but this one's even worse.
So what can we do about it? Well, we'll fight it like hell—because these cuts are just wrong. And as we near the 2006 election, we'll use it to explain why politicians who would rather help their rich friends than the rest of us should be forced out of office.
This budget cuts billions from Medicare and education while giving a whopping $1.35 trillion tax cut aimed at the wealthy. This'll be one of the big fights of the year: can you PLEASE write a letter to the editor of your local paper to frame the new budget from the beginning?
