The Congressional Black Caucus has stepped up. They are not going to allow the poor, the disabled and the elderly to be forgotten. They are fighting back against the Vampire Republicans who want to bleed America dry.

During a radio interview today, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, spoke on the over 40 members of the CBC will be voting ‘no’ on any plan that cuts government services — including the plan put forward by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Cleaver says the caucus insists on a clean vote to raise the debt ceiling — the same kind of vote “we’ve done repeatedly since 1917.” Cleaver explained, “we can deal with the deficit questions later, but let’s not send the most powerful nation on the planet into default.” Rep. Allen West (R-FL), the one Republican member of the CBC, has said he will support Speaker Boehner’s (R-OH) plan.

Toll free numbers for Congress -

1-866-338-1015

1-866-220-0044

1-866-311-3405

Just don't call West's office, except to explain politely why he's dead wrong.

Don't forget to call your Congressional Representatives, Senators and the White House to let THEM know that the CBC position is one you fully support.

Lets get those phone lines burning!

(All comments, photos, cartoons and videos nailing Vampire Republicans are more than welcome. Ahem...Yes, that was a bad pun, not a call for violence. Just so we're clear.)
