The supercommittee negotiations have failed.

 The supercommittee negotiations have failed. Why? Because Republicans simply REFUSED to make billionaires and big corporations lift even one finger to help reduce the debt. In fact, they’re demanding TAX CUTS for their biggest benefactors, the top 1%.

Instead, here’s who Republicans think should shoulder the burden: Seniors on Medicare. Middle class families who want to send their children to college. Every American receiving Social Security. The unemployed and all those who are suffering the most in this economy.

There’s no other word for it but disgraceful. Democratic senators won’t stand for it. I won’t stand for it. And I know you won’t, either. It’s time to unite with one clear voice and demand that Republicans stop putting the wealthy at the head of the line.

We’ve ended up at this stalemate because these radicalized Republicans refuse to deal. If we don’t stand our ground now – and if we allow them to take the Senate in 2012 – we will lose our ability to stop them from unraveling our social safety net right out from under the Americans whose lives depend on it.

That’s why we’re speaking out, and saying “no more. It’s time for Republicans to listen to the vast majority of Americans and stop putting billionaires before the rest of the country. Americans need to support OWS and make their demands known at the ballot box this year. People must come out and vote their own interests or the American dream will be put on hold for generations. Your children will suffer as living and working conditions will revert back to the 20's.

This issue is that important folks. This is no time to vote a Party line. The Republican position on these issues are transparent in their aim to support and protect the wealthy. Stand up now before it is too late. Your children and grandchildren will either remember your courage or lament your stupidity.
