Starting today, our government will need to grapple with a set of
arbitrary budget cuts that will hurt the economy, make life harder for
middle-class families, and threaten our national security. That’s what
Washington means when it talks about the sequester.
Not everyone will feel the consequences of these cuts immediately,
but if sequestration is allowed to continue, it will make life more
difficult for Americans all across the country. That’s a fact that no
one disputes.
And the reason we are here is because some members of Congress have
made a choice to prioritize these cuts over closing tax loopholes for
the wealthy. But there is still time for them to make a different choice
and undo this manufactured crisis.
Today, President Obama discussed this situation and answered
questions from the press. “This is not a win for anybody,” he said.
“This is a loss for the American people.”
Help us make sure your friends and neighbors know what’s at
stake. Share this video of President Obama on Facebook or Twitter — or
even just forward this email to your friends.

PS — We put a page together that outlines President Obama’s solution
for resolving the sequester, explains what these cuts will mean for
communities across the country, and asks you to share your story. Check
