Meet your Republican Congress

[and-justice-for-all]

esterday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- a right-wing political group representing large corporations -- proposed what it's calling an economic recovery plan. Take a look:

* Privatize Social Security
* Cut taxes for the rich
* Log the national forests
* Expand offshore gas and oil drilling
* Privatize highways and waterways

Look familiar? That's what the agenda of a Republican Congress looks like and the Chamber of Commerce plans to spend more than $50 million to make it a reality.

Only people-powered campaigns can compete against that sort of money -- they're the only thing that ever have.

The Chamber can run ads now through Election Day, but nothing is more effective than committed volunteers talking to their family, friends and neighbors -- and that's exactly why DFA is launching Dean Corps. We'll organize people on the ground to talk to voters and get out the vote.

BEAT BACK A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS -- CONTRIBUTE NOW

With Dean Corps, we're placing trained staff on the ground in campaigns across the country. These organizers will recruit and train volunteers to make phone calls, knock on doors and get out the vote through Election Day.

DFA members have long been the boots on the ground -- putting grassroots campaigns over the top -- for candidates up and down the ballot in all 50 states. This week, DFA members contributed the resources to put an organizer on the ground in Texas to beat George Bush's hand-picked successor for Governor, Rick Perry.

Now, it's up to you to decide how many congressional campaigns we back up with staff on the ground -- Elaine Marshall in North Carolina? Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania? Ann McLane Kuster in New Hampshire? House races in California, Washington, Florida?
