It's Happening Today

February 05, 2009

President Obama's Jobs and Economic Recovery bill is under attack. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has introduced amendments to the bill that slash state and local public services and reduce funding for Medicaid. Even if you've already taken action in the past few days, we need your help — again. These amendments will be voted on TODAY. Please call your senators right now by using our click-to-call tool. Tell them to vote "YES" on the Obama jobs and economic recovery bill and "NO" on amendments that slash funding.

Rush Limbaugh and the right wing are trying to sink the economic recovery bill. They want President Obama to fail — and they don't care if they take the entire country down doing it. You can stop them. Call your senators right now. If you get a busy signal or no answer when you call the Capitol, please keep trying until you get through. And please let us know how you made out by reporting your calls.
