Debt Limit: Contact Congress

It is crunch time for raising the debt limit. Folks in Massachusetts need to contact Senator Brown and urge him to buck the Republicans in the Senate and support a compromise bill. Tell him that you support the president.

This issue directly affects the well being each and every one of us. The ramifications for the national economy and for the economic vitality of every American are severe. Anything that we can do as citizens to help bring about an adequate resolution is a step in the right direction. Do not delay. If you use social media, I urge you to contact your friends and encourage them to contact their members of Congress as well.

You can reach Senator Brown here. I included the following text.

I support President Obama's approach in the debt limit negotiations. The debt limit needs to be raised and new revenues must be part of the package. I fully understand that this issue affects me and my family directly and in a very real fashion. My vote across the board in 2012 rides on this issue.
You can find the contact information for any member of Congress here.

For extended information on the debt talks, check out Talking Points Memo.

Thanks and good luck to us all.
