I have Rep. Canseco as my congressman, I will call his office.

I know he will vote however the Republicans tell him how to vote.., Call your Congressman. Mas later, Walter
Hi All: This e-mail comes from my friend Monica Alleman. It asks that you call Rep Henry Cuellar (Tel. 202225-1640) and ask him to stop supporting the Budget Amendment Proposal HJR2. This proposal adversely affects and cuts domestic programs. If many of us call, like I did, Rep Cuellar could change his mind....Jose M. Pena

If you live in Henry Cuellar's district please call today. Tell his office that you are against the Balanced Budget Amendment proposal HJR2 and want Henry Cuellar to withdraw his support. I promise that if the office recieves several hundred phone calls, he may reconsider his choice to support the proposed 50-70% cuts to our domestic programs. I am sure that they will be taking the vote on this by Thanksgiving. Please call today or Monday at the latest. Also, their office will take voice mail over the weekend and I would love for them to go to their voice mail and find it full of messages from his constituents. The phone number is at the bottom of the e-mail to call Henry Cuellar's office in Washington. This is your chance to make sure that your voice is heard in Washington. In case you are wondering how I receive the e-mails which give me this information. It's because I'm on the e-mail list serve for sevearl groups here in Austin such as the Center for Public Policy Priorities and I attend coalition meetings such as "Cover Texas Now" and "Kids Well Texas" which keep me informed on how to protect Medicare and Medicaid funding. Unfortunately, I can't call his office because I don't live in his district but I forwarded this to those of you who I thought either might live in his district or might know people who live in his district. Thanks and have a happy Thanksgiving. Sincerely, Monica Alleman

IF YOU LIVE OR WORK IN HIS DISTRICT, HE NEEDS TO HEAR FROM YOU!


Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, a member of the so-called blue dog Democrats, announced to the press that he supports the latest Balanced Budget Amendment proposal, HJR 2.

He supports it even though this BBA would require DEEPER CUTS than the US House Ryan budget proposal from last summer, and deeper than the more recent Republican Study Committee (RSC) budget.

Here are some key facts about this BBA:

It cuts even deeper than the RSC Budget, which makes Medicare into a voucher program worth about one-third of its current value--even deeper cuts to Medicare than the Ryan budget, Raises the Social Security retirement age to 70,

cuts Medicaid in half over the coming decade, and does the same to other core programs for the poor by 2021, cuts domestic discretionary spending ( that means everything from veterans medical care to border security to medical research to education) by about 70 percent more than two-thirds, just like Medicare.
