Via DCC: "So be it."
"So be it."
That was Speaker Boehner’s response to the jobs that will be lost as a result of House Republicans’ disastrous spending bill. Everything from schools to public radio to reproductive health care to housing assistance for homeless veterans would face deep cuts. Job losses could top 800,000.
But when it came to Big Oil companies, Republicans refused to ask their special interest backers to pay their fair share. It’s just wrong. If the protests in Wisconsin teach us anything, it's that we must meet the Republicans’ push for an extreme right-wing agenda head on with the strength of Democrats standing united.
Time is short. If Republicans refuse to back down from their radical cuts by next week, the government could be forced to shut down.

Your dollars will be put to work immediately to hold Republicans accountable for asking families to sacrifice their jobs while Big Oil companies keep their tax breaks.
House Democrats have set a goal of raising $500,000 before Monday's February FEC deadline to make a powerful showing to the media, pundits, and most importantly, House Republicans that we will not sit silent as the tea party fringe and their special interest backers try to ram their radical agenda through Congress.
Contribute $20 or more to our GOP Accountability Rapid Response Fund today. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of House Democrats.
Now more than ever, we must hold House Republicans accountable for choosing the wrong priorities – putting billion-dollar special interests ahead of struggling middle class families.
