Several of us have written our local Congressional representatives and instructed them as follows:

Vote *against* Obama's "debt deal."

No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid!

No unconstitutional "super-Congress" committee!

The "deal" should cost Obama his re-election.

All who vote for it should be opposed in their next election.
