Two Worthy Actions On The Radar Screen
Wisconsin Wave
During the Tuesday, August 9th recall elections serious questions were raised about the integrity of the electoral process in Waukesha County. While not as startling as the violations that occurred during the Supreme Court race last spring, these reports of voter suppression, intimidation, and results tampering continue a longtime trend and are alarming enough to require immediate attention.
Please call Eric Holder at 202-514-2000 or email him at AskDOJ@usdoj.gov
Tell him that only an independent, federal investigation can determine whether or not there were fair elections in Waukesha County on August 9th and in past elections. Will you take action on this issue today?

Rebuild the American Dream
Momentum is already gathering behind the Contract. Yesterday, joined by 100 members of the American Dream movement, Rep. Jan Schakowsky unveiled her "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act" in Chicago. It would create 2.2 million jobs by putting people to work rebuilding infrastructure, teaching our children, and protecting our communities, and pay for it by taxing millionaires and billionaires.
