President Obama is doing a SIX DAY BLITZ to push his budget...
He's out there doing town halls, TV shows and a primetime speech next Tuesday ~ he's counting on PUBLIC SUPPORT to get his/our agenda passed.

Here's what he's asking of us:

PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS ASAP ~ and SIGN UP so you'll get future ACTION requests!


(I'm not giving up until DUers make as many calls as they make posts!!!)

2. Not without us - especially with Bayh's group acting as obstructionists...
The push Obama is making is supposed to involve him AND us ~ the more calls voters make to their representatives, the better.

9. Thanks! You'll have to let us know if he does respond. I mentioned...
...in my message to Sen. Casey that I hoped rumors of his involvement weren't true.

12. My senators?
Kyl and McCain.

My rep is Gabby Giffords. I'll probably just give her a call to make sure though.

15. Can't hurt - my guy is Patrick Murphy, also a big supporter...
...but I called anyway ~ he's still on board. Our calls give them political cover if nothing else.

21. Is he...
Is Murphy that serviceman who did a lot of face time on behalf of Obama during the primaries/GE? I kinda liked what little I saw of him. What do you think his future prospects are?

22. That's him, a great guy and strong Obama supporter...
I've spoken to him many times, marched in parades with him, etc., and he's a very bright and authentic person ~ one I believe is in it for all the right reasons. He's well loved here and I think he'll go far. Haven't asked him what his plans are though.

13. Going Around Under And Through
The traditional media and their GOP allies.

They are about to get a hard lesson on the way things work now.

27. One of my senators sez that during the stimulus debate--
--she heard far more from conservatives than from the rest of us. This needs to change.
