Senator Bernie Sanders and Shared Sacrifice

An articulate and compelling letter to President Barack Obama by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, asking the President to reject draconian Republican budget cuts and to place a fair share of the burden on corporations and the super wealthy. It is imperative that as many people as possible sign this letter so that the President knows just how important this matter is. As it stands, the overwhelming majority of Americans believe that a good way to help balance the budget is for the super rich to pay their fair share. Republicans, however, have taken the upper hand in framing the issue in the national media and would have everyone believe that fairly taxing the rich would be unpopular and economically unwise. The facts are of course to the contrary.

Please take a few moments now, read this beautifully written letter to the President, and sign your name to it if you agree.
