Rep. Coffman: Stand up for the middle class

Instead of playing politics with the federal budget and creating fiscal uncertainty, we call on you to grow the middle class by ending the sequester, investing in jobs and education, and closing corporate tax loopholes.

Why is this important?

Congress has 5 days scheduled before the Sep. 30 budget deadline to avoid a government shutdown. But some Republicans won't even negotiate unless Obamacare is defunded — and they're using the deadline to gain leverage.

We need Rep. Mike Coffman to stop playing games and stand with the middle class during the budget debate. Unless we act quickly and hold him accountable, he and other House Republicans will keep proposing more cuts to education, healthcare, and other vital services.
