Barack_Obama's Blog

Mitch Stewart, Director of Organizing for America, recently sent the following message:

Members of Congress will begin debating President Obama's budget this week, with a vote likely set for next week.

What you do now will decide what kind of debate they have -- one that's dominated by special interests and partisan voices intent on keeping the status quo, or one that reflects the priorities of citizens like you.

Call your elected representatives now to let them know where you stand.

Last week, thousands canvassed their communities to talk with neighbors about the need for a new direction. Now, it's time to take that message to Washington.

We can't afford to ignore the long-term threats to our prosperity. Now is the time to build the foundation for a recovery that lasts.

Your representatives need to know you support:

• Renewable energy to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil
• Making health care more affordable for every American by cutting costs
• Improving education so our children are prepared for the jobs of the 21st Century

Get your representatives' contact information now and make your voice heard:
