1) Take Action: Don't let BP get a $10 billion
tax break for destroying the Gulf!
http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/nobptaxbreak/?rc=LA_042122011_BP_a2
Okay, just when you thought things couldn't be more screwed up... BP is getting
a $10 billion tax credit as a result of the spill. Full details at the link,
but... do we even have to explain how insane this is?
$10 billion is the equivalent of the entire budget of the EPA. The idea that
BP is enjoying a windfall as a result of this catastrophe is completely, 100%
insane.
Click, learn more, take action, and tell BP to pay. Destroying the Gulf
shouldn't lead to a tax windfall.
Tell BP to pay its fair share.
2) Take Action: Don't let the Republicans Kill Medicare
http://www.credoaction.com/campaign/dont_kill_medicare/index.html?rc=LA_041222011_Medicare_a2
For nearly 50 years, Medicare has been a cornerstone of our nation's commitment
to our seniors, and along with Social Security, an invaluable tool for keeping
them from falling into poverty.
And now the Republican Party wants to kill it.
Led by Representative Paul Ryan (aka, "Privatizing Ryan"), the party is pushing
to eliminate Medicare as we know it, and replace it with a ludicrous privatized
system where seniors are given vouchers to try to buy coverage from private,
for-profit insurance companies. The very same companies that have over and over
again denied coverage to senior citizens.
Don't let them kill Medicare. Don't let them rip a gaping hole in the senior
safety net. Write Congress today, and demand that your officials pledge to
support Medicare -- not destroy it.
