TODAY... Tuesday, April 21st young people nationwide are calling their Senators to support the Obama budget. We voted in record turnout numbers not only to cast a vote for Obama, but also because we were passionate about issues that deeply affect us like making sure everyone has access to health care, that education is accessible and affordable to all and that there are green jobs that both decrease our dependence on energy and create real jobs in our communities that we sorely need.
Now we are going from the Ballot to the Budget!
Here are several ways to directly engage your networks and put out the word about the upcoming National Call In Day:
- Call 1-888-299-1447 TODAY and let your Senator know you support the President’s budget
- Recruit 5 Friends to call their Senators!
- Update your status to highlight the call-in number (888.299.1447) and WHY you are calling
- Repost this to share and invite Friends to join this From the Ballot to the Budget: April 21st National Call-In Day Facebook Group:
- Let's make this a top lister at D'Kos (rec this diary) and twitter trend: post your update to read "I'm calling my Senators for (insert your reason here... eg, quality, affordable health care) at 888.299.1447 #budget #genalliance"
This is an opportunity for the Millennial Generation to get involved in passing this budget and receive the support our communities need. Many progressive youth organizations are getting down on the call-in day, like US Students Association, Campus Progress and other members of Generational Alliance. So TODAY you can join us, April 21st, join young people nationwide in calling 888.299.1447 to tell Congress "PASS THE FEDERAL BUDGET & BRING CHANGE TO OUR COMMUNITIES!"
PS: Its my first time doing a national call-in voice over, so when you call 888.299.1447 you'll get to hear yours truly prompting the call to action!
