Pacquiao -- If Republicans in Congress don't act by Friday to stop the so-called sequester, there will be far-reaching consequences on our economy. These disastrous consequences are completely avoidable, and the President has a balanced plan to stop the sequester. Share the graphic below to make sure your friends know we need to stop the sequester -- the more people who spread this information, the better chance we have of convincing Republicans in Congress to avoid these harmful spending cuts: http://my.democrats.org/Stop-the-Sequester Not on Facebook or Twitter?

Another step toward equality

Pacquiao -- This is huge. President Obama just took another step toward equality for all. On Friday, the Obama administration filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act. I couldn't be more proud to have a president who stands up for equality and is willing to fight for the right of all people to marry, no matter who they love. Do you have the President's back while he fights for equality? Show him you do by donating $5 or more today: https://my.democrats.org/Marriage-Equality Together, we can do this.

Stop the Sequester

Pacquiao -- Congressional Republicans have taken their partisan brinkmanship to an entirely new level. Unless they act by March 1st, billions of dollars in automatic cuts -- the so-called sequester -- will start to take effect. If it does, more than 2 million jobs could be lost, 70,000 children would be kicked off of Head Start, and 10,000 teachers' jobs would be put at risk. With this fiscal crisis looming, what did John Boehner and Republican leadership do? They went on vacation, calling recess for the House this week even though Democrats voted to stay and work to avert this crisis. This is no time for recess. It's time for them to do their job. Demand Republicans in Congress come back to the table and work with the President to avoid this crisis. Sign the petition now. The unbelievable thing is -- this crisis is completely avoidable. The President has laid out a specific plan with detailed cuts to avoid the sequester and reduce the deficit in a balanced way, and Democrats in Congress have put forward a balanced approach as well. But Republicans in Congress would rather see our recovery and middle-class economic security be put at risk than close one tax loophole for big corporations and the wealthiest among us. John Boehner and House Republican leaders need to hear from thousands of Americans across the country that they must come back to the table and work with us to avoid these automatic cuts. The only way they'll do their job is if our overwhelming response leaves them no choice. Sign the petition now: http://my.democrats.org/Sequester Together, we can do this.

I'm counting on you

Pacquiao -- Last night I spoke to the American people -- and to Congress -- about the progress we've made and the road ahead. I've asked your representatives in Washington to act swiftly to build a thriving middle class by making America a magnet for jobs, equipping every American with the skills they need for those jobs, ensuring hard work leads to a decent living, and cutting the deficit in a balanced way. We've got a tough road ahead of us, but I know we can get there -- together. Today I'm asking for your help. Support Democrats with $5 or whatever you can afford. I'm counting on you: https://my.democrats.org/Help-Democrats-Fight Barack
