Congressman Braley,
We members of the Pocahontas County Democratic Central Committee ask you to join Representatives Grayson and Takano in sigining this letter to the White House:

The letter has also earned the endorsement of many groups fighting for middle-class Americans, including: Social Security Works, The National Nurses United, Democracy for America, Credo Action, MoveOn.org Civic Action, Bold Progressives, the Strengthen Social Security Coalition, Progressive Democrats of America, Working Families Party, Rebuild the Dream, Progressives United, and United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America.
