Events focusing on urging lawmakers to extent middle-class tax breaks that are set to end if a solution to avert the fiscal cliff is not found by the end of the year were held in lower Bucks County on Monday.
The crowds gathered outside the building that houses Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick's office in Middletown and later on the streets of Bristol Borough.
Outside the congressman's office, a group of more than 50 gathered to speak about how decisions by Republican lawmakers have impacted their lives.
Later in the evening, many of the same people met at the Christmas tree on Mill Street in the borough to attend a "holiday-themed vigil," according to the group that organized the rally, Pa. Working Families.
Doylestown businessman Det Ansinn and Pastor James Evans of the Norton Avenue Baptist Church spoke at the evening event.
Mike, please be your own man and not a puppet in 2013.
TP - You are correct. Many have no understanding of what the fiscal cliff is or the impact of it either way. Until our liberals stop giving people things without earning them, nothing in this country will change. We will continue to have generations of welfare, baby producing individuals expecting the gov't to take care of them. I have many times challenged the liberals I know to open their wallet and write a check for that poor person that depends upon gov't assistance since I don't want my hard earned dollars going towards supporting their lack of ambition and common sense. So far, not one has taken me up on the challenge. As they say and I believe after the election results, Americans are just getting dumber.
