Local MoveOn members will gather outside U.S. Rep. Don Manzullo’s (R-16) office at noon, Tuesday, July 26, to protest the ongoing debate over the debt ceiling.
In an e-mail sent at 2:10 p.m., Monday, July 25, the Rockford Tea Party encouraged its members to attend the protest in support of Manzullo. “Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, July 26, at noon at Manzullo’s office to support him and his efforts in Congress to oppose tax increases, which MoveOn wants to force us all to accept,” the e-mail said.
Manzullo’s office is at 415 S. Mulford Road, Rockford.
An e-mail from local MoveOn organizers stated the following:
“This weekend, it became 100 percent clear that Republicans would rather see America default, Social Security checks stop going out, the stock market plummet, and unemployment soar than give 1 inch on their position: that the very richest people and most profitable corporations shouldn’t pay one penny more in taxes.
“Even after the president offered Republicans a debt-ceiling deal most MoveOn members probably consider unconscionable — with trillions in cuts, even to Medicare and Social Security — Speaker [of the House John] Boehner [R-Ohio] still walked away from the table.
“Our only chance to move the Republicans is to make sure that the dire consequences of their actions are laid directly at their feet. So with other leaders of the American Dream movement, we’re putting out an urgent call for every patriotic American to show up outside Republican congressional offices on Tuesday at noon to deliver a crucial message: ‘Don’t destroy the American Dream.’”
