Congress is Home for Recess - Now What?


Congressional Recess Alert:
Make Your Voices Heard on the Issues Important to You

Last November, voters sent a clear mandate for a change in direction in Washington, calling for leadership that creates jobs and economic growth, reduces wasteful spending, slashes government red tape, and reduces our deficit.

We’ve seen encouraging progress in some of these areas — but there is much left to be accomplished.

With your members of Congress in your home town this week for the President’s Day recess, make sure they hear from you.

The issues we face as a country are daunting, and even more serious is the possible impact on every family and business across the country.

As you speak out, use your voice and story on the issue or issues that matter to you.

Click on the below to send a letter to your Members of Congress during the President’s Day Recess.

Common Sense Budget SolutionsWe support sensible efforts to reduce our federal deficit — but the president’s budget proposal attempts to do so on the backs of individuals and small employers by imposing $1 trillion in new taxes.  We need jobs and economic growth — not more taxes. Click here to reject the Administration’s FY12 Budget.
Health Care - Encourage Congress to repeal the most onerous provisions of the health care law.
Our efforts are especially important in light of a new CBO report that shows the health care law could cost 800,000 American jobs during the next decade.
Transportation - Without proper investment and attention to our infrastructure systems, the nation’s economic stability, potential for job growth, and global competitiveness are at risk. Click here to urge your members of Congress to make these vital investments to create jobs and spur our economy.What’s Most Important to You? You know our priorities, but it’s important that you make your voice heard on your priorities. Click here to send a personalized letter to Congress.

Thank you for your continued action and support.

Sincerely,


Bill Miller
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
