Call your Senators and Representatives; tell 'em you support Pres. Obama's budget

Did you sign on to Organizing for America's (OFA) "Pledge Project"? If so, the time has come to take action on that pledge.

OFA is asking all Volunteers For Change-Fresno members and anyone who signed the pledge to take the next step:

Call your Senators and Congressmen right away, and state your support for President Obama's budget.

Our representatives need to know that we support:

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

OFA is also asking our members and everyone calling to follow up by clicking the links provided below. So, it's three calls and one click to help bring about the change we demanded when we elected President Obama.

Here's the note from OFA:

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.

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.

Can you pick up the phone and let Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Sen. Barbara Boxer, and your district's Representative know where you stand on President Obama's budget?
