Dear MoveOn Member,
President Obama is working with Congress to pass an economic recovery plan, and there's a real struggle going on over whether it will focus on green jobs, health care, and clean energy—or whether conservatives will succeed in cutting many of the progressive provisions and forcing in big tax cuts for the wealthy.
So we're organizing "Economic Recovery Congressional Actions" at offices around the country to make sure that Congress hears our message. There's one in Livonia, and we really need a bunch of folks there.
Here are the details. Can you come?
Host: stephanie g—fellow MoveOn member
Where: Rep. Thaddeus McCottur's Office (in Livonia)
When: Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2009, at 1:00 PM

http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/event.html?event_id=89988&id=15359-8047867-BvBsttx&t=4It's especially critical that Congress hear from us now. Conservative lawmakers and lobbyists are in D.C. right now, fighting to take some of the crucial pieces out of the package. Congress needs to hear the message that Americans want real investments in health care, green jobs, relief for struggling states, and clean energy—not more tax giveaways for corporations and the rich.
