PLEEEEEASE SIGN!

Please help remind Obama that he's a democrat. He's lost his way. It's bizarre that this petition should come from a website called actboldprogressives. Not touching Medicare ever is not bold or progressive--it's a core democratic principle. What is this man thinking? He's ready to capitulate on an issue that every democrat wants him to stand strong on. And he does so at his own peril.

A special election in NY State just elected a democrat in an extremely red part of NY State. (It was so red that they even voted for Carl Palladino!) Why did Hochul (D) win? She said she'd never cut Medicare. Democrats can win on this even in the reddest districts because no one wants to cut benefits in a recession. So whose interests is Obama supporting if not the people's? The election should not boil down to HE GOT OSAMA SO HE GETS MY VOTE.

NY STATE SENATOR KATHY HOCHUL, WHO WE HOPE WILL TALK SOME SENSE BACK INTO DEMOCRATS IN DC.



President Obama: If you cut Medicare and Medicaid benefits for me, my parents, my grandparents, or families like mine, don't ask for a penny of my money or an hour of my time in 2012. I'm going to focus on electing bold progressive candidates -- not Democrats who help Republicans make harmful cuts to key programs.
