Dear Friends,

President Obama asked Americans to contact members of Congress and ask them to reach a fair resolution of the looming government default.

He rightly noted that both political parties bear some responsibility for running up the federal debt – so it’s up to both to end this stalemate.  Since the President's speech I've heard from thousands and thousands of folks who responded to his call.  I also sensed growing support in Congress to avert a first-ever government default early next week.  Thus I’m optimistic about quick passage of some $2.7 trillion in savings and spending cuts – cuts that wouldn’t hurt Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

Such a solution strikes me as a fair compromise – and, exactly the kind of thing I think we need right now.

Thanks for your thoughts,
