Take Action: Write your Senators today!
	Urge your Senators to vote for the Murray budget.

In a matter of days, the Senate is going to vote on a budget that we can believe in.
A budget that would give more children access to early learning, protect Social Security and most core safety net programs, expand access to affordable health insurance, end the sequester’s arbitrary program cuts, and improve tax fairness.
Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, did her part by developing a budget that stands in stark contrast to the devastating Ryan budget. Now it’s our turn to stand up for a better budget for women and families.
Please take two minutes to tell your Senators to vote YES on the Murray budget.
Need a reason to take action? We have five of them!
Senator Patty Murray’s budget would:

• Increase investments in early learning and home visiting programs, giving more children access to prekindergarten, child care, Head Start and Early Head Start opportunities.
• Protect Social Security and most core safety net programs, including SNAP (food stamps), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, and Supplemental Security Income.
• Permanently extend the improvements in the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit that lift millions of women and children out of poverty.
• Expand access to affordable health insurance and preventive care services by continuing to fully implement the Affordable Care Act.
• Replace the arbitrary cuts from the “sequester,” including for this year, with a mix of revenue increases and other spending cuts.

And a bonus reason!

• The Murray budget would close corporate tax loopholes and limit unfair tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, raising revenue needed to support vital programs and contribute to deficit reduction.

The time to act is now! Your Senators need to hear that you expect them to vote YES on the Murray budget.
Thank you for everything you do for women and families.
Sincerely,
