After looking like they had the White House backed into a corner on the Stimulus Package, only to then talk about caving to BushCo's demands, it looks like the Senate Dems are willing to play hardball to get a stimulus package passed that would spend taxpayer money wisely and compassionately by getting dollars into the hands of people who spend it and need it the most.

Please call your Senators right now, especially if they are likely or moderate BushCo voters, to tell them to put unemployment insurance benefit extensions, food stamp increases and money for LIHEAP in the stimulus package. Those are among the proven ways to get the biggest bang from our stimulus buck.

The vote will happen 5:45pm so spread the word.

Put that BushCo Anger to Good Use!

They are the 852 million people who go to bed hungry every night. They are people just like you, but because of poverty they must walk to accomplish the most basic tasks:

They walk for food.
They walk for water.
They walk for firewood.
They walk to escape violence.
They walk to seek shelter.
They walk to farm their fields.
They walk to find employment.
They walk to go to school.

I'm walking the CROP Walk with a group from my church this Sunday. I have no friends (who aren't walking on Sunday) in real life and most of my neighbors do their best to avoid me so I'm counting on readers of this blog to donate and spread the word around blogtopia (hail, skippy) so that others donate too.

Chris Dodd has been a leader in the fight to restore America to some sort of sanity once the maniacs who currently run the joint without restraint are done. Now he's speaking out against the Levin-Reed Amendment. Good for him. It's a terrible bill. But here's the thing: speaking out to potential supporters in emails asking for our contact info and a donation is not enough. That's why I called Chris Dodd for President (202.737.3633) and politely suggested that the Senator take a stand on the floor of the Sentate and filibuster this bill until he drops or it drops and a better one has been offered in its place. The young man who answered the phone told me that I was the third person who called with the suggestion.

If you've seen this post at Firedoglake or were lucky enough to be at the Yearly Kos Coffee with the Troops discussion in person, then you know that the vets on the panel asked us all to get out and be part of the movement that is trying end this war.

If you live near Reading, PA, or near Philly, you'll have a great chance to do exactly that this Tuesday, August 28th at 6PM.

Please come out and be part of national Take a Stand Day.

H.R. 811 is Rep. Rush Holt's well-intended but

deeply flawed bill that will do more harm to the cause for free and fair elections than it will help. A group I volunteer with, the Coalition for Voting Integrity, is sponsoring a call-in day today to wake up Congress to the fact that doing nothing right now is a better option than passing this bill, which will codify the use of touchscreen machines among other dangerous failings.

You know the drill: We need you and five of your friends and family to make a call or send a fax to your Congressperson, telling him/her to vote NO on H.R. 811 until crucial improvements are made.

Now is the time in the federal budget process for us to contact Congress with the simple message that we want the largest possible pool of money created for domestic discretionary spending. ($450 billion is the target number.) To get what we need, pressure must be put on Congress members now. Click through to find out how.

Click on the Change America Now icon above and send a CANgram to your Member of Congress. You can be part of the national roll-out of support for the four economic planks of the 100-Hour Agenda by getting your Congressperson to help pass them as quickly as possible when the 110th Congress hits D.C.

Do you live in a deep-Red county with no hope of change? Is your county going Blue with or without you? Don't feel left out. We need your help in three of the hottest counties in nation. From the comfort of your home, you can pick up the phone and make two hours of calls using a web-based dialer program. On November 8, you'll be able to say that you helped bring change to Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties in suburban PA.

PA Action is working with US Action and Women's Votes to get likely progressive female voters to the polls on November 7th.

The field plan involves direct mail and an intense canvassing plan as well as at least one contact by phone. If we can get 375 people around the country to make two hours of calls (about 150 calls), that will free up 750 volunteer hours for us and we can focus on the face-to-face contacts and the last three days of dragging people out.

PA Action, working with Women's Voices Women's Votes and US Action, is running a non-partisan campaign on the phones and on the ground to turnout likely progressive female voters this election. You've probably read about WVWV over at MyDD. As Matt said in that post:

Right-wingers have two giant fears. The first is if evangelicals stop voting, as they did from the 1920s until the late 1970s. The second is if single women start voting.

That second part is our plan and you can help from the comfort and convenience of your home. We need four hundred people to each call one hundred names on our list. That's about two hours of work per person. Trust me, it goes by more quickly than you may imagine. The script is short and direct. The focus voters are people we need to get to the polls if we want to see some change in the direction this country.

Please make the jump and find out how you can spend a couple of hours helping to get this country back on track. Read More
