Defaulting on the American Dream

Can you drop by Rep. McCarthy's office and give her this message: Don't Let Them Default on the American Dream? Click below to get your "Don't Let Them Default" sign and drop it off here:

Drop By Today!
Dear MoveOn member,

In less than two weeks, Republicans could force America into default and crash our whole economy in order to protect tax breaks for corporations and millionaires—unless Democrats like Representative Carolyn McCarthy stop them.

In this moment of crisis, Rep. McCarthy needs a clear message from you: Don't Let Them Default on the American Dream.

Because that's what will happen if the nation defaults on our debt or Republicans get a debt deal that cuts Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits.

In the past two weeks, MoveOn members have signed a petition and made thousands of calls to the White House and their Democratic representatives urging them to protect the American Dream. But nothing will have quite the same impact on Rep. McCarthy as concerned constituents arriving at her office doorstep, letting her know she can count on our support if she holds the line.

Can you join with other members across the country in a rapid-response congressional drop-off today? It's simple. Just click on the link below to print out a "Don't Let Them Default" sign, which you can personalize with your American Dream priorities message for Rep. McCarthy. Then take it straight to her office.

Can you urge Rep. McCarthy to hold the line against Republican efforts to default on the American Dream?

Here's where you can go:

Across the country this weekend, over 25,000 MoveOn members and others met at more than 1,500 house meetings to begin the work to rebuild the American Dream.

But that work could be set back years by a national default or if Republicans strip away the victories won by progressives over the past 60 years. And that's where the negotiations seem headed, unless we can change them.

Many of the American Dreamers who took part in this weekend's meetings are already out in force at Democratic offices across the country with this clear message: Don't Let Them Default on the American Dream. Can you back them up by delivering it to Rep. McCarthy too?

Just print out your sign, write your personal message about what's most important to you about the American Dream that you want protected in these debt negotiations, and then drop it off at Rep. McCarthy's office today.

Can you urge Rep. McCarthy to hold the line against Republican efforts to default on the American Dream?

Thanks for all you do.

P.S. MoveOn members in Republican districts will also be out in force this week, delivering the message: Don't Default on The American Dream. Together, we've also raised funds for viral videos and a targeted advertising campaign and made thousands of calls to Republican representatives.
