WRITE YOUR SENATORS DEMANDING 'NO CAVE IN TO BLACKMAIL!'

What should Speaker John Boehner do?

Tell the president politely that America's problem is not that we are taxed too little but that we spend too much– and the GOP will not sign on either to tax rate or tax revenue increases.

This core conviction holds the party together.

Yet today the leadership is about to abandon this conviction to sign on to higher tax rates or revenues, while the economy is nearing stall speed. Yet, two years ago, President Obama himself extended the Bush tax cuts because, he said, you do not raise taxes in a recovering economy.

Why are Republicans negotiating this capitulation?

" Social Security historian Nancy Altman and Pepperine Law School professor Mark Scarberry have noted that, in fact, no such threat exists. They write....
