Incensed at reports that President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) may be nearing agreement on a debt-ceiling deal that would involve cuts to federal entitlement programs but no immediate provisions to raise taxes, labor and liberal groups are urging their members to rally against such a plan.
On Friday, a coalition of national groups including MoveOn.org, Democracy for America, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and the AFL-CIO organized an “emergency call-in day,” urging members in an e-mail to contact Democratic members of Congress and tell them to “keep their promises to reject any debt deal that slashes programs for seniors and working families while doing little or nothing to make the rich and corporations pay their share.”
Members of MoveOn.org are also planning on calling Senate and House Democrats’ campaign arms as well as Obama’s Chicago-based reelection campaign in opposition to any deal that would not include spending cuts but no immediate revenue increases.
The Service Employees International Union also sent an e-mail to 400,000 activists Friday calling on them to contact Democratic lawmakers and ask them to oppose any deal that “would make deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security benefits without asking for an ounce of sacrifice from corporations and millionaires.”

But it's good to see where the enemy is.
If Boehner can actually manage to stand firm, expect to see Barry soil himself.
We know where they are. It is just really good to get them in a concentration. Arty is more efficient that way.
And so they lay it out in stark relief. The parasites against the producers. The real question is are they now in the majority?
Tough darts!
We won the House!
Get over it!

Frustrated federal unions plan public appeal
“...If a lot of these proposals actually happen, I think it will drive many in the federal workforce out,” said Kelley. “Unfortunately, those in Congress who do not respect federal workers want exactly that.”
We will get some idea on their numbers when they take to the streets in their liberal lunatic rage...providing none of this goes their way.
This is complete Kabuki theater. These leftist groups pretend to have issues with Obama so that the MSM can claim that he somehow has become a “centrist”. It’s a complete and utter sham. They are in cahoots. I don’t believe a word of this stuff. We’re going to see a MILLION of these articles from the MSM leading up to the 2012 election to try to convince Americans that Obama isn’t the flaming Marxist that he so clearly is.
This explains it. Boehner said they had a deal then all of a sudden obama wanted a big tax increase. obama’s puppet masters called him.
Shared Sacrifices ? One class of person is sacrifices while one group is has nothing in the game and what is their shared sacrifice?
Love to see the libs eating their own.
*If* Boehner stands firm, I give Barry until Sunday (at the latest) before he demonstrates that today’s press briefing is in no way how he behaves when he’s REALLY irate.
