Have you called your Senator today?

By now everyone has heard the Republican Party’s “Giant”, the great bloviator, Rush Limbaugh tell everyone in Dittoheadland that he wants the Obama stimulus plan and his administration to fail. He’s even gone so far as to order his mindless minions to call their senators and tell them to vote AGAINST the plan. If what happened to Congressman Phil Gingrey is any indicator of the power of this pompous ass, then Democratic minded people need to spring into action.

Take time now to call Senator Kay Hagan at 202-224-6342

Senator Richard Burr at 202-224-3154 (Yes, you need to call him too and let him know there are more people in this state FOR than AGAINST!)

Now call Governor Beverly Perdue 919-733-5811 from an email from Moveon.org….

Now can you call and ask your governor, Beverly Perdue, to publicly urge Congress to support the stimulus? The stimulus would help states struggling with budget shortfalls so they don't have to make massive cuts to critical services. Gov. Perdue can influence your state's members of Congress by publicly speaking out in favor of the stimulus.

Although just watching the main stream media would lead most to believe that the majority of Americans in general and the Republicans specifically are against this stimulus plan, Republican Governors are FOR Obama’s plan. From Fox News….

But some GOP governors, facing budget shortfalls in their states, are calling for the massive stimulus.
Dennise Casey, deputy chief of staff for Douglas, said Vermont is facing a $200 million shortfall in fiscal year 2010. While she would not specify whether her boss supported the House or Senate version, she said he is not calling for any specific revisions.
She said the governor is not alone in focusing on infrastructure and Medicaid funding for his state.
"It's not unanimous support among Republican governors, but certainly there's a great deal of them who are working to help support this recovery package," Casey told FOXNews.com.
Republican Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, for instance, worked the phones last week to try to win support for the plan from his state's congressional delegation. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP nominee for vice president, was also planning to push for her state's share of the package.
Stephen Wayne, government professor at Georgetown University, said Obama's reaching beyond the Beltway to build a broader consensus he hopes will eventually push through a stimulus plan.
"It's the style of the man, and he wants this to be the style of his presidency," Wayne said.
The bipartisan NGA released a statement last week broadly supporting the package, citing fiscal conditions in the states "not seen since the Great Depression."
"Governors encourage Congress to complete work on the recovery package as quickly as possible," the statement said, adding that governors were eager to use federal dollars to "preserve core services, create new jobs and increase the nation's competitiveness."

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country…..this is more than a typing test, this is a call to call!
