We Did It -- House Votes to Invest in America!
We have scored an amazing victory. Thanks to our hard work, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that begins to re-invest in America. The Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill cleared the floor of the House with a solid majority, 276-140.
Please take a moment to send your thanks by sending the email below to your Representative. Let your Congressperson know that you support them.

Subject: Thank you for voting for the Labor-HHS-Education bill
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Thank you for voting for the Labor-HHS-Education spending bill. This bill includes badly needed investments in vital services for regular Americans.
I also urge you to vote to override a Bush veto, should the President issue one against this bill as he has threatened to do.
It's time to re-invest in America. Thank you for your vote. I urge to you to continue to do the right thing by standing against President Bush's threatened veto.
Sincerely,
|
