| Tomorrow the U.S. House of
Representatives is expected to vote on the American Priorities
bill, which provides funding for America's biggest priorities
— from veteran services and job training to health
services and education.
Not surprisingly, President Bush has threatened to veto this
bill because — get this — he says it
costs too much money. He can find billions to spend on
his Iraq debacle, but he can't find money to spend on America's
priorities? Please.
Call your representative right now at 1-888-460-0813. Tell your representative
to VOTE YES on the domestic funding bill and to
OPPOSE President Bush's reckless veto threat.

Hello, my name
is [Your Name] and I'm calling from [Your City],
[Your State].
I'm calling to urge my representative to
invest in vital needs here at home by voting for this domestic
funding bill. This bill includes badly needed
investments in vital services for veterans, children, health
care and Head Start.
I'm also asking my representative to oppose
the veto that President Bush is threatening if this bill
passes.
If we can find billions of dollars for the
Iraq War, we can find the money for vital needs back here in
America.
So I'm looking to my representative
to vote for this bill and oppose Bush's threatened
veto.

If president

America!
