There won’t be anyone to pick up the phone at congressional offices this weekend, but you can write letters to the editor in time for the Sunday edition, urging members of Congress to vote against the Supplemental Appropriations Act.
- The war supplemental shouldn’t be held hostage to a $100 billion European bank bailout
- Conservatives don’t like the bailout
- Progressives don’t like the bailout
- Four billion in "Cash for Clunkers" is being added to the bill to force progressives to vote for it
- Let’s separate these bills and talk about them honestly
- The administration has committed itself to transparency. This is not transparent.
Rahm Emanuel is threatening Democratic freshmen if they don’t vote for the bill. We need 39 Democratic votes to defeat it. Already 32 have committed to oppose it. Please write your local paper and urge them to support your member of Congress in voting against the supplemental. (If you don’t know who your member of Congress is, you can look them up here.)
Write letters to the Editor and say "no" to the supplemental

Aren’t there some other things we could spend $107 billion on in THIS country?
How many kids would that fund health insurance for?
Done!
Jane, I can’t thank you enough for the incredible effort you’ve put into this.
Sent.
That is a cool tool!
Go Jane..will write
Nicely done with the video, ma’am.
Sent – was happy to note my congress critter Sam Farr is on board. Thank you Jane for your immeasurable leadership, as always. You give new meaning to the old saw: lead by doing. Hey Newt!
How many young Iraq vets and their families could that help?
We’re on suicide watch for a young vet who’s among the best and the brightest. They ripped his future apart with this war. His wife bears the burden of keeping him alive this hour, this day….
Fuck Rahm and his games.
IMF and Cash for Clunkers? Give me a break.
Support our troops is becoming a sick and twisted chant.
Best wishes for your young vet, openhope. That’s tragic.
Getting closer… Jane has an update!
