Organizing For Action-Washtenaw volunteers and supporters will be asking Congress to move forward finding a responsible and balanced approach to avoid the harsh cuts of the sequestration. Our students, teachers and first-responders should not be held back because of the inaction and unwillingness of Members of Congress to create a balanced deficit reduction package. Supporters from across the area will come together and say now is the time to produce a balanced way forward avoiding the sequester cuts that could unnecessarily affect women's health care, child care and food safety. OFA supporters are making their voices heard that Congress needs to act now to make smarter cuts that don’t hurt our middle class and our communities. This is the agenda that Americans voted for last November and it's time for Congress to move forward a package that helps create a stronger economy and a more secure middle class.
