URGENT!  It's time for everyday New Yorkers to speak up and speak out to our US Senators and Representatives!

Add YOUR name and voice to our "Do your job -- Stop Debt Default!" campaign!

Unless Congress acts immediately, the US government will soon default on our debt payments, causing our state and national economy to crash, the global economy to become unstable, and millions of everyday New Yorkers and our families to suffer economic loss and hardships. Some radical politicians are blocking legislative action unless they get their way to impose severe spending cuts on social programs that help millions of everyday people with our basic daily needs. They are holding out just to protect and extend tax cuts for large corporations and the ultra-rich.

It's time for congressional factions to stop this nonsense and their political hardball games, and take action together NOW to stop a debt default catastrophe!

Some members of New York’s congressional delegation are fighting hard to prevent debt default and avoid harmful cuts to social programs. We stand with them, and salute them for their efforts and leadership -- "we've got your back!"

However, other members remain intransigent, and are blocking agreement between the Senate, House, and President. We call on them to reasonably negotiate with their colleagues, and to prioritize the basic needs of everyday people over the excesses of those who already have more than enough yet don’t contribute their fair share.

Sign this petition, and spread the word to other everyday New Yorkers!

Initial deadline is Mon. May 22, with rolling daily deadlines for additional signatures thereafter.
