There are 3 bills that need to be defeated and it is coming down to the line on these bills. They are:
1. DREAM Act: (Sen. Baucus is leaning no and needs to hear from us tomorrow.)
2. The Obama Tax Compromise
3. The Omnibus Spending Bill: (Both the FDA-Soros-Monsanto Food Takeover Bill and the Tester's Land Grab Bill are a part of this omnibus bill which needs to be defeated.)
We are loading this email down with information for you, which you can read below. But, for those who prefer brevity and for us to cut to the chase, here is is what you need to do.
The sad fact of the matter is that the phone calls and faxes alone are not working. We need more action and we need it now! If you are truly committed to our core values and you truly do not want to see even more out of control spending in DC, we need you to sacrifice more of your time. So, continue making phone calls, get your friends and neighbors involved, and then do as many of the following as you possibly can.
So, here is what is needed the very most:
1. Go to your Congressman's local district office. Tell them in person that you do not want these bills to pass. Leave a note, hand write it on the back of your Christmas shopping list if you have to, to tell them you are serious about not passing these bills.
2. Now, go to both of your Senators' local district offices. Again, tell the staff at each office that you do not want these bills to pass. Leave a note at each of these offices.
3. Go online to your local newspaper's website. Find the articles about these bills and leave your comments about why your Congressman and Senators (use their names) should not vote for these bills. As unbelievable as it may seem, their staff gives this as much if not more credence than your personal phone calls and office visits. (Go figure!!)
If you cannot go to one of these offices because of your work schedule or you are simply unable to drive, we understand. At the very least do the following and encourage everyone you know to do the following as well:
1. Call both of your Senators and tell them to vote NO on these bills. Tell them to support filibustering the bills to prevent them from a final floor vote.
2. Call your US House of Representative and tell them to vote NO on these bills. Tell them the elections were a mandate for fiscal responsibility and a yes vote on these bills is a yes vote for fiscal irresponsibility.
3. Call Sen. Mitch McConnell and Speaker Designate John Boehner and tell them to have their caucuses vote no. Remind Speaker Elect Boehner that he ignored the will of the tea party when he appointed the "House Leadership" so now we hold him accountable for all of the upcoming votes.
4. Sign our NoTaxCompromise.com petition.
5. Change your facebook status and ask all of your virtual tea party to do what you have done.
Once you have done these things, please let TPP know that you have. We need to have an idea of how many calls, office visits, protests, and newspaper posts are being made so that we can report it to the national media when asked. You can use this form to report back to us.
