Blakey: Sequestration Crisis Should Be Top Priority

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "It's a shame that tonight's debate didn't address the 800 lb. gorilla in the room in today's politics – the upcoming "fiscal cliff" and sequestration cuts that will together plunge our economy into recession and threaten our national security."

"Both campaigns have public positions on these issues – this debate was the perfect opportunity to contrast the two positions and offer the American people a choice.  Regardless of the winner in November's election, if sequestration isn't fixed, American citizens will be on the losing end of this poorly-conceived idea.  We need quick action in the lame duck Congress to stop this looming threat.  These debates should be used to provide clarity on the most pressing issue of our day."
