6,165 Phone Calls – Not Bad!

Last week, John Boehner had a chance to follow the Senate’s lead and put the bipartisan unemployment extension up for a vote in the House.

We asked you to call his office. You told him about the millions of families that are struggling to stay in their homes and feed their famlies because they’ve lost their lifeline. Many of you told your own stories.

After just a few hours, Boehner’s office phone went to an answering machine. Several hours later, his answering machine was full and many of you reported hearing a busy signal.

We’re not done. We’ve switched the settings on our calling tool to direct your calls to his district office.

Call Speaker Boehner at the number below to reach one of his three Ohio offices. Tell him you want a up or down vote in the House vote e on the unemployment insurance bill already passed by the Senate.
Call Speaker Boehner at (661) 263-4637
661 BOEHNER
State

WA is waiting for John Boehner to take action.

a message from Robert Reich


I’m sick and tired of a tax system that favors the wealthy at everyone else’s expense, so I put together a special Tax Day video that explains the problem—and what we can do about it.

I hope you’ll watch:

The first step toward solving a problem is understanding it. If, after you watch this video, you agree that it’s time to change things, please share the video with your friends.

Together, we can build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest 1%.

Thanks for lifting up your voice in our democracy.

–Robert Reich

Kick out the kids and pets. And whatever you do, don’t vacuum. Don’t vacuum? What if it breaks on carpet?…
