On Thursday night, Nov. 10, 2005, the House Republican leadership cancelled the expected vote on the spending reconciliation bill—because they didn’t have the votes to pass it. Your calls and e-mails made the difference: Members of Congress got the message that cutting services for struggling families to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy few are the wrong priorities. And, this morning, at the last minute, Senate Finance Committee Chair Charles Grassley (R-IA) cancelled a scheduled mark-up of the tax cut plan, because in the face of moderate opposition, it couldn’t get through the Committee.

Please thank members of both parties who stood up for America’s families—and call on them to continue to do so. This fight isn't over yet—but the momentum is on our side! Congratulations!

We'll have more information in what lies ahead in a future update, but for today - Celebrate!
