10/23/11 Greenwich Resident Linda McMahon: Super Committee Consequences: Our Nation's Security and 40,000 Connecticut Jobs

Good Morning, In just 30 days, a Super Committee of 12 men and women in Washington are required to produce a plan to cut spending for our country -- the job 535 members of Congress, including members of Connecticut’s delegation, have failed to do for years. Like you, I know that Washington's runaway spending has led to staggering deficits that will create cascading economic and national security issues. At stake is the security of the American people; and for Connecticut, nearly 40,000 jobs could be on the line. Please take a moment to read my op-ed in CTNewsJunkie.com. In it, I address the consequences of Congress handing over its responsibilities to the Super Committee, threatening our national security and our already fragile economy. If you agree that Congress seems more focused on providing political cover for the professional politicians in Washington than for making the difficult decisions needed, then I ask you to forward this email to 10 of your friends and post your thoughts on my Facebook page. Sincerely, Linda
