Urgent: Tell your senator to help kill pork-barrel spending!

Hey, everyone! Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina needs your help!

Sen. DeMint is trying to pass an amendment (a rider on another bill) that would place a BAN on pork-barrel spending (which is when your representatives in Congress hand out your tax dollars to benefit their campaign contributors).

The really exciting thing about the DeMint amendment is that if it passes, it'll help keep some money in the Social Security trust fund so that we might actually get some of our Social Security when we retire!

PLEASE call your two senators tomorrow. Each call will take thirty seconds, maximum. All you have to say is something along the lines of, " "Hi I'm a young voter in Pennsylvania and I hope Senator ____ will vote YES on DeMint's budget amendment."

You DO NOT have to try to convince the staff member who answers your call why their senator should support the amendment. All you have to do is register your support. TRUST ME, it will matter.

Sen. Arlen Specter's number is 202-224-4254
Sen. Robert Casey's number is 202-224-6324 or toll-free 866-802-2833

(If you're not from PA, email me at MRitter1776@gmail.com and I'll be glad to help you find contact info for your senators!)

You can also email them using this easy form! http://www.secureourfuture.org/issuealerts.php

If you're feeling REALLY ambitious, we also really need people to call these senators, all of whom are on the fence and can be swayed wither way, depending on how much public support they see for the amendment.
Sen. Olympia Snowe (Maine) 202-224-5344
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island) 202-224-2921
Sen. Joe Lieberman (Connecticut) 202-224-4041
Sen. Barack Obama (Illinois) 202-224-2854

THANK YOU!
