Received this e-mail from U.S. Senate candidate and Congressman Ed Markey (D. MA-5):
Paul Ryan and the radical House GOP have done it again -- releasing a budget proposal that will end Medicare as we know it.
Twice before, they’ve tried to pull this. They want to throw our seniors into a sea of private insurance sharks with just a voucher and well wishes. They want to turn Medicaid into a block grant that will barely cover services.
Ryan and his radical GOP pals must think that if they keep introducing the same plan over and over, eventually our resistance will crack.
I’m teaming up with my friends at the DCCC to prove them wrong. We’re gathering grassroots supporters to oppose the Ryan Budget 3.0 -- and I need your help:

We are planning to send our responses straight to Paul Ryan. So click here, add your name, and tell Ryan and the House GOP: Don’t destroy Medicare!

This budget is page after page of terrible policies that the radical right and all of their corporate friends love, but leave middle and low income Americans in the lurch.
Besides jeopardizing Medicare and Medicaid, the plan gives huge tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. It defunds health insurance programs that cover millions of Americans.
This budget is good for Big Oil, good for special interests, and bad for middle class Americans.
Help us let Paul Ryan know that the American people are dead set against his radical budget plan. Add your name right now:

We know where we stand: with seniors, with the uninsured, with working families all across the country.
Thank you for standing with me.
Ed
