“The Truth About Sequestration:
Deficit Reduction & You”

On January 2, 2013, most federal programs will be slashed across-the-board. Under sequestration, core government functions will be reduced to historically low levels. Participants learned how these cuts came to be, what sequestration is, and what can be done to prevent it, in this new WAND webinar.

Featuring Emily J. Holubowich, this program outlined the devastating effects of sequestration on non-defense discretionary spending. Millions of jobs will be lost, and critical services upon which Americans have come to rely will be eliminated. While sequestration is the law of the land, Congress and the President do have the opportunity to work together to prevent it by seeking alternatives to reduce the deficit; like responsible reductions to our bloated Pentagon budget. To muster the political will to make tough choices, lawmakers need to hear from constituents that indiscriminate cuts to important domestic priorities are not acceptable.
