As progressives we have been docile during the last 18 months and we keep pointing fingers at the White House and Democrats about the lack of action on critical issues. Yes this criticism is often valid but what have we done recently as indviduals to push them to carryout the changes we want?
I believe that the recent no votes against the jobs bill and the extension of unemployment benefits should serve as a rallying cry for us and the unemployed.
Please contact the White House, Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi and demand that lawmakers should not return to their districts for vacation until they vote for the jobs bill
I do not know if this is too late but at least let us give it a try
As activits and concerned citizens, we know that change comes from the bottom to reach the top.
Can we at least organize, blog, twit, phone etc and demand that the White House and the Democratic leadership MUST demand that congress should not go into reccess until they have signed the jobs bill?
Let us demand that Senator Reid must make the GOP actually filbuster the jobs bill. We should make these demands to President Obama and his team. I am sure that it will look very "good" to the American people to see the GOP fillibustering a jobs bill
Do you believe that this is too high a hurdle to climb through?
If you have some time please pass on this cal to action.
Thanks a lot
