    The document outlines talking points against a Republican-led budget that cuts over $50 billion from programs that help the poor and middle class, such as Medicaid, food stamps, and student loans, in order to provide $70 billion in tax breaks for the rich. It argues this "reverse Robin Hood" budget will hurt many Americans by leaving them without assistance to feed their families or better their future, and that most Americans oppose cuts to these vital social programs.

    Speak Out Talking Points

    • This is nothing more than a “reverse Robin Hood” budget. The Republicans are
    robbing the poor to pay back the rich.

    • The Republican leadership is pushing for over $50 billion in cuts for the poor and
    middle class to pay for $70 billion in tax breaks for the rich.

    • The programs that will take the biggest hit include Medicaid, food stamps, and
    student loans.

    • These Thanksgiving cuts will leave many Americans with empty plates.

    • These are the same programs victims of Hurricane Katrina and millions of other
    Americans depend on to feed and care for their family and build a better future.

    • The majority of Americans oppose cutting these vital programs.

    • We’re organizing a Speak Out to demonstrate the affect these cuts would have in
    our community.

    • We’re urging [Representative Last Name, or Senator Last Name] to vote "No" on
    the budget reconciliation bill if it still includes any cuts to vital programs like
    Medicaid, food stamps, and student loans.
