Subject: What recovery means for you

John --

The economic crisis is growing more serious every day, and the time for
action has come.

Last week, the House of Representatives passed the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, which will jumpstart our economy and put more than 3
million people back to work.

I hope to sign the recovery plan into law in the next few weeks.  But I need
your help to spread the word and build support.

It's not enough for this bill to simply pass Congress. Americans need to
know how it will affect their lives -- they need to know that help is on the
way and that this administration is investing in economic growth and
stability.

Governor Tim Kaine has agreed to record a video outlining the recovery plan
and answering questions about what it means for your community. You can
submit your questions online and then invite your friends, family, and
neighbors to watch the video with you at an Economic Recovery House Meeting.

Join thousands of people across the country by hosting or attending an
Economic Recovery House Meeting this weekend.

The stakes are too high to allow partisan politics to get in the way.

That's why I've consulted with Republicans as well as Democrats to put
together a plan that will address the crisis we face.

I've also taken steps to ensure an unprecedented level of transparency and
accountability. Once it's passed, you will be able to see how every penny in
this plan is being spent.

You can help restore confidence in our economy by making sure your friends,
family, and neighbors understand how the recovery plan will impact your
community.

Sign up to host or attend an Economic Recovery House Meeting and submit your
question for the video now:

Our ability to come together as a nation in difficult times has never been
more important.

I know I can rely on your spirit and resolve as we lead our country to
recovery.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

P.S. -- If you can't host or attend an Economic Recovery House Meeting, you
can still submit your questions for Governor Kaine and then share the video
with your friends and family this weekend. Learn more here:

Subject: Hilda Solis

 <http://emilyslist.org/r/41113/46764/>
Dear John,

 <http://emilyslist.org/r/41114/46764/> With nearly 600,000 jobs lost in the
past month, now is not the time to play partisan politics. But, that is
exactly what the Republicans are doing by holding up President Obama's
nomination of the woman who will stand up for working families: Secretary of
Labor-designate Hilda Solis.

  Republicans have been wandering in the wilderness for weeks on this
nomination. It's time to act. Hilda will add a necessary perspective as a
woman, a Latina, and a member of a working class family. We need to do
everything we can to get our economy back on track -- and Hilda Solis is
going to play a critical role.

 The questions have been answered, and it's time for the Senate to approve
this nomination. But Republicans are refusing to move forward, and they need
to hear from you. That's why I'm asking you to join us in calling on Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Mike Enzi, ranking member on the
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, to move this nomination
forward.

 Click here to join us in telling Senator McConnell and Senator Enzi to move
to confirm Hilda Solis as the next secretary of labor.
<http://emilyslist.org/r/41115/46764/>

 Over the years, we watched with pride as Hilda became a progressive leader
in the U.S. House, and we were thrilled when President Obama nominated her
to serve in his cabinet. A champion of issues concerning working women, I
know Hilda will bring her experience and proven track record of coalition
building to the Obama administration. She will take particular care to
consider the rights of all workers and the value of women in the workplace.
President Obama knows he needs Hilda Solis as a partner in his
administration while they work to better the lives of working men and women.

And now I need you to join me in raising our voices in support of her
nomination to this critical role.

 Click here to tell Senator McConnell and Senator Enzi to move to confirm
Hilda Solis as the next secretary of labor.
<http://emilyslist.org/r/41116/46764/>

 Thank you for standing with us and with Hilda so that she can provide the
leadership American workers need.

Warmest regards,


Ellen R. Malcolm
President

M=> Hey there, registered Calitics user -

If you have been watching Calitics or the news this week, you've heard about
the budget debacle going on in Sacramento.  For the last three days, we have
remained one vote short of the required two-thirds majority for a budget
deal, with only two Republicans being willing to join the Democratic caucus
in the Senate. You can follow our coverage of the Budget here:

http://budget.calitics.com
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102403604945&e=001bifLaeaVg52vC4mqec5VjUuKYq-QvjN

fiB5H4VMwkw==> 

To be blunt, the budget deal on the table is a mess. It consists of over
twenty bills in each chamber. It guts environmental protections on several
major projects, it offers gifts to corporations and a few powerful
industries.  It relies on cuts and borrowing far too heavily, and does not
provide the real long-term fixes of our revenue stream that we so
desperately need. And the spending cap that will go to the ballot in the
spring represents a major step backward, and progressives will have to
expend substantial resources to defeat it. Yet despite all that, only one
thing is really clear:

If we do nothing, the state faces systemic collapse.

Because Republicans refused for years to look at new revenues to balance the
state's budget, California is being hit harder by the economic crisis than
any other state. We face a $40 billion deficit, and already the state is
running out of money. Schools are looking at cutting classes and laying off
teachers. Tomorrow, if there is no budget, 276 infrastructure projects will
be halted - affecting 38,000 workers in the state, and the governor has
announced that he will issue layoff notices to 20,000 state workers. And the
state's credit rating, already low, will suffer further downgrades,
effectively costing taxpayers more money.

The media has now taken notice that the Republicans are trying to bring the
state down  
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102403604945&e=001bifLaeaVg50V4MNjC3c2OrxTiNK9-tv

ZBrFv6BzYfBgd8TKOuv6v7D-gVCuTNpNoH2DQdYhN_w==> with them. But the media has
little power if we aren't watching and if our leaders don't know we are
watching them. So, here is what we need to do:
1. Call Senator Abel Maldanado (R-Monterey County, 916-651-4015) and tell
him to give up his list of demands
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102403604945&e=001bifLaeaVg50zNEAo3siYPLadk_dXCzr

vzNH2LSGMOjmYRUWYnVudE6ZhaPxfq3298ZgfGTowaw==>  and end this hostage
situation. 
2. 
3. Call Senator Dave Cox (R-Fair Oaks, 916-651-4001) and tell him that the
state deserves better than a Senator who goes back on a deal
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102403604945&e=001bifLaeaVg51vosR6HVxQGwNyTfEgWg5

party's extremists.
4. 
5. Tell as many people to do the same thing. Use every tool at your
disposal, Twitter, facebook, or just word of mouth. The more people that
know about this Republican extremism threatening our state, the better.
The Senate is set to once again resume session, and we might be in for
another all-nighter. However, keep at it, because this is simply too
important to let Republicans play their dangerous games with the lives of
Californians.

Dear John,

 <http://emilyslist.org/r/44232/46764/0/ZGNuLm9yZw%3D%3D> We did it!
Progressives across the country raised our voices in support of Hilda
Solis's nomination as secretary of labor, and our efforts truly made a
difference. Today, Secretary Solis was confirmed by the Senate and will take
her place as a member of President Obama's cabinet.

 When I asked you to stand with us in support of Secretary Solis's
nomination, I knew we could count on you. Thousands of you joined us in
petitioning Senate Republicans who were standing in the way of this
nomination, and we're thrilled our voices were heard. I just spoke to Hilda
and she's very excited to get to work. She thanked me for our help in making
sure she got a fair confirmation hearing and specifically asked me to thank
everyone who signed our petition.

 Now President Obama -- and American workers -- will have a strong,
intelligent, and effective leader with a proven track record of coalition
building to fight for them during these tough economic times.

Click here to watch a video of EMILY's List staff delivering our petition
and to learn more. <http://emilyslist.org/r/44233/46764/0/ZGNuLm9yZw%3D%3D>

  Thank you for standing with us and for all you're doing to build a
progressive America.

 Warmest regards,
 

Ellen R. Malcolm
President
