The Fiscal Showdown Event is slated for Monday, Decemeber 10 at 2pm at the Rep. Duncan's Anderson offices, according to Paulette Keffas-Chassin, who is organizing the event with the help of MoveOn.org. 

MoveOn is coordingating Fiscal Showdown events at Congressional offices all over the country that day.  

"The purpose is to make sure Rep. Duncan knows he represents constituents who do not want cuts to  Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, that the wealthiest Americans need to have their tax rates slightly increased - similar rate as under Clinton," she said. "We voted to end tax cuts to the wealthy in November. Rep. Duncan needs to know his Upstate constituents will not settle for a bad deal.
