sure you saw this. To avoid a government shutdown, Democrats and the
Tea Party might "compromise" by cutting Social Security benefits. </div>
<div>This all plays out next week, and we're getting prepared now. </div>

<div><strong>YESTERDAY'S EMAIL:</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">John,</div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">The Tea Party in Congress is crazy.</div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">That's not really news. But the fact that they're less than a week from shutting down the government is news. </div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>ABC
News reports a tragic potential ending. The "compromise" to end a
government shutdown might be to cut Social Security benefits.</strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">Progressives
have worked hard to protect these benefits -- and we're urging
Democrats in Congress to stand strong in the event of a shutdown.</div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>We need to know what kind of army we'll have next week if we're battling to protect Social Security. Are you in? </strong></div>
<div style="padding-left:60px;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/19275?t=2&akid=15199.981582.wuU31X">Yes -- please keep me informed of next steps!</a></div>
<div style="padding-left:60px;"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/19275?t=3&akid=15199.981582.wuU31X"><span>No -- this does not interest me.</span></a></div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">ABC News reports: "The president said he
believes there are areas of common ground between the parties on reforms
to entitlement programs."</div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">Republicans in Congress said they'll only
accept deep benefit cuts. But we polled red states like Kentucky and
Texas, purple states like Colorado and Iowa, and blue states like Hawaii
and California.</div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>Republican, Democratic, and Independent voters oppose cutting Social Security benefits. </strong></div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;"><strong></strong><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/19275?t=4&akid=15199.981582.wuU31X">If
you agree that the Tea Party should be the one making concessions --
not Democrats agreeing to benefit cuts -- click here so we know you're
with us next week.</a></div>
<div style="padding-left:30px;">Thanks for being a bold progressive.</div>
