Dear Friend,
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) released the GOP budget this week. It makes deep cuts to social safety net programs while giving tax breaks to the rich and corporations. Learn about the budget and more with these three important stories you don’t want to miss.
Best,

Wisconsin Republican Alberta Darling is running scared.
She represents a Republican district and she’s been in office for almost 20 years — She was supposed to win this recall election by a landslide. But she’s not.
The Republican war on working families has backfired and now Darling is neck-and-neck in the polls against Democrat Sandy Pasch. Winning here would be a huge upset and we’re on the air with a powerful new ad that exposes Darling for voting to give huge tax breaks to big corporations while cutting children’s healthcare programs.
It’s a powerful ad and there are just eight days left until the recall election.
We’re winning in Wisconsin, but it’s going to be close. Please contribute today and help make the difference. www.democracyforamerica.com
Thank you for everything you do.

Democracy for America
It’s clear again that House Republicans are intent on balancing the budget at the expense of middle class families and seniors. Republicans chose to recklessly risk downgrading the nation’s AAA bond rating, raising interest rates for car loans and mortgages — all to protect tax breaks for Big Oil and billionaires.
House Republicans’ political games have brought us recklessly and dangerously close to defaulting on our debt.
The clock is ticking and instead of meeting Democrats halfway, Republican leaders caved to the extreme right-wing.
We are just $43,969 short of hitting our goal to hold Republicans accountable this August when Members are back home in their districts.
Contribute before the critical FEC deadline Midnight Sunday to take the fight directly to Republicans.http://www.dccc.org/page/m/1d63c9b9/1b9dd8ab/4ce7f280/4e0cec5b/2604407106/VEsH/

WEEK IN REVIEW
Senate Democratic leaders invite President Obama and Vice President Biden to
Capitol Hill the week of July 5 to move deficit-reduction talks forward.
Democratic leaders say progress will depend on Republicans‘ willingness to end
tax breaks for the wealthy.
Senate Democrats ask Republicans to stop protecting frivolous tax breaks for the wealthy, such as loopholes for corporate jet owners, and work with Democrats to reduce the deficit
Defend the American Dream!
In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under attack.
Instead of creating much needed jobs, Conservatives are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich all while cutting funding for education, police, emergency response, and vital human services.
This is unacceptable. Wisconsin is proof of what happens when billionaires, like the Koch brothers, are able to buy out democracy for their own gain.
This is only the first battle in the right wing’s attempts to destroy the American Dream. We must stop it before it spreads to other states.
On Saturday, February 26, at noon local time, rallies will be organized in front of every statehouse and in every major city to stand in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin.
Show Solidarity with Wisconsin! Join the Saturday rally to save the American Dream.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Foundation team
