As Mark noted the other day, the President gave an excellent jobs speech. He then followed it up with a nice rally in Eric Cantor’s Virginia district. Today, he sent the America Jobs Act to Congress. (For what it’s worth, I have already received about nine e-mails from OFA and pro-Obama organizations pitching the bill).
And in response, Eric Cantor has already said that he wants to chop it in half.
Go on the attack, Mr. President. Not vague wistful things about “some in Congress.” Your enemies are called Republicans. Draw the contrast. Every single day. You’re the good guy; they’re the bad guys. Tell people.
Pass. This. Bill. Now.
I’m betting he backs down……..just playing the odds based on what I’ve seen thus far.
Potifar, you can bet. Or you can get off your butt and do something. Write your Congressman. Write your Senators. Write a letter to the editor of your favorite newspaper. Or even comment on your favorite blogs, in a way that strengthens, rather than weakening, the fight against the plutocrats and their tame political party.
Very simple; email your Representative:
“Get it straight, vote the Bill………find a new job.
Your choice.”
