Venice For Change is joining them in this fight.

But the Senate can still stop this disastrous deal from happening. They will only do it, though, if they hear an overwhelming outcry from all of us telling them that we need them to to go to the mat to stop the millionaire bailout-even if President Obama won't.
That's why we're joining with our progressive allies at the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Democracy for America, CREDO Action, True Majority and SEIU for today's emergency call-in day.
Call Sens. Boxer and Feinstein and tell them, "No tax bailouts for millionaires!"

They should have to vote over and over and over again against relief for struggling families so the American people can see that their millionaire donors are more important to them than their constituents. They should have to engage in an old-fashioned filibuster, and defend their position on the Senate floor all day, every day and straight through the night.
That is what the American people want the Senate to do. A new poll from CBS shows that only 26% of voters want the tax breaks for millionaires extended.
But time is short so if we want the Senate to fight, they need to hear from us today. Please call Sens. Boxer and Feinstein right away.
i've called for weeks and know the response i'll get from our CA senators....for me it's a done deal, the repugs will get their extension and the dems will let it happen....is there any bright side; what can be done...?....as good friend said to me....
ReplyDelete"The only way this bargaining over tax cuts for millionaires makes sense--and it would require OB trading away a key campaign pledge--is if the TPs on the issue make crystal clear that Obama did it only because the Goopers held millions of unemployed HOSTAGE, and that he gave in on it because the GOOPERS put tax cuts for multi-millionaires ahead of millions of unemployed who without a UI extension would be unable to pay the rent, send their kids to a doctor, or feed their families.
If this is multi-dimensional chess, then let it come with clear and simple take-aways for America."....btw, the cartoons are really cool.......
Robert, it's not a done deal at all. Dem Senators are having trouble rounding up the votes. Please make the call.
ReplyDeleteI contacted Sanders' office today to applaud his stand today - a brilliant publicity stunt that was all over Facebook, though I noted the news blackout in MSM sources (and even the political blogs I normally read).
ReplyDeleteI also contacted my California senators, as well as the office of Mitch McConnell, hoping that as someone who grew up in his state, I might not be entirely written off as a "California liberal loon". I told all three of them that I wholeheartedly supported Sanders' appeals for common sense, real leadership, ethics and service to return to Congress. I told them that I believe most of Congress has forsaken their constituencies to instead serve lobbyists and their corporate masters, and that I could not support a candidate or party who would do this.
