Pledge to Help Put Families First
One day. One important issue. Tens of thousands of phone calls. WILL
YOU TAKE PART?
States across the country are facing the worst budget crisis in 50
years. Public service employee jobs and our families' benefits are in jeopardy. And some of the important services we provide to our communities are facing serious cuts. Across the country, working families are uniting to ask our representatives in Congress to Put Families First by taking action to help states avoid drastic cuts to health care and other public services.
IT'S EASY TO PARTICIPATE
Pick up your phone and participate in the Put Families First ALL CALL DAY on Wednesday, May 7. Sign up to participate now at
http://www.putfamiliesfirst.com.
Join tens of thousands of people nationwide - all calling our members of Congress on the same day to urge them to send more of our tax money back home to our states to support Medicaid and other priorities.
In addition to preventing millions of people from losing their health coverage, the federal money will help ease states' budget crises and make public employees' jobs, benefits, and services more secure. If we all join together to make our voices heard, we can win!
1. Mark your calendar for ALL CALL DAY.
2. Tell us to count on you by signing up at
http://www.putfamiliesfirst.com. We'll send you an email reminder
when it's time to call.
ALSO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Across the nation, schools are suffering. Tens of thousands of teachers have received pink slips and looming budget deficits only promise worse to come. Yet in Washington, Congress seems unaware of the problems at home. They're talking about cutting taxes andcutting budgets -- not about how to keep the schools and essential services going.
The final vote on these budget cuts will come in just a few days, and we're leading a campaign to bring focus to who is getting hurt -- especially to the cuts that will hurt our kids and fail our schools.
Please join us and sign a petition to Congress, asking key
Congressional leaders to lead the fight against tax and budget cuts, and to save education and other basic services from drastic cuts. Just go to:
http://www.moveon.org/saveschools/
With this petition, we're also collecting personal stories about the
impact budget cuts have already had on schools in your area. Tell
Congress about teachers who have been fired, about schools closed, about the impact on your own children or grandchildren. Instead of proposing a plan to support the states and our schools during this
difficult time, the Bush administration is cutting back billions in
federal support, just when it's most needed. We've got to expose
the real-world pain of these cuts.
