Jane Hamsher, FDL, asking for progressives' help on war supplemental

[MzNov]

$100 billion to bail out EUROPEAN BANKS??


"
Dear xxxx:

Rahm Emmanuel is pressuring progressives to change their vote and abandon their principles. You can help fight back.

Your Representative is getting intense pressure from Emmanuel to pass more money for the war in Afghanistan, as well as $100 billion to bail out European banks, not to mention an amendment to block the release of detainee torture photos.

Your Representative voted the right way the first time. Give them a call and ask them to hold firm:

If 39 Democrats commit to vote against the bill it won't pass, and 10 have already agreed to do so. We need 29 more.
For once, the votes of progressive members of Congress actually matter when it comes to funding the war. But they are being heavily pressured by Congressional leadership to toe the line.

Please call your Representative's office and let them know you support their commitment to bringing our troops home safely, and urge them to vote against this bill.

We've got the phone number for your Representative here:

After you call, please forward this email to friends in your district, and ask them to call too. A few hundred phone calls at this crucial time may make all the difference!
Thank you for help.
