Today’s Downsizer-Dispatch . . .
Things are going well so far in March. We thought we’d share some of the numbers with you.
For starters, we’ve added 6 new websites to the “Read the Bills Act” Coalition. Check them out . . .
North Buffalo Journal and Review
Unorthodoxy.net
America in Danger
Patrick McCarthy (blog)
Homeland Stupidity
Joe Cochran – Philosophy and Politics
If you have a blog or website and would like to join the coalition, you can do so here.
Downsize DC campaigns are also being picked up and promoted by more and more websites and blogs — so many that we couldn’t possible list them all. Suffice it to say, the word is spreading!
Recruitment and messages to Congress are going well too.
Recruitment — 306 new Downsizers
Messages to Congress — 10,218
We need to step up both numbers a little bit to reach our March goals. If you haven’t yet registered to use our Congressional Contact System, please choose one of the campaigns below, and do so. We really need your help.
The total number of messages to Congress on the “Read the Bills Act” now stands at 64,383. You can add your voice by sending a message HERE.
Total messages calling for the repeal of the REAL ID Act now stands at 55,776. You can add your voice by sending a message HERE.
The campaign to cut Congressional pay whenever the federal government runs a deficit stands at 3,141. You can add your voice by sending a message HERE.
The campaign to deauthorize the occupation of Iraq stands at 7,194. You can add your voice by sending a message HERE.
As usual in the first half of a month, contributions are our lagging indicator. You could help change that by making a contribution HERE.
Have a good weekend, and thank you for being a DC Downsizer.
