Hello BlogsUnited-ers! Campaign for America's Future is seeking to turn up the heat on conservative obstructionists in the Senate. Any help that state-focused bloggers can give, to shine a light on how their senators are standing in the way of real progress, would be enormously helpful in jacking up the pressure.
Please check out the film short below -- starring Jason Alexander -- and the related email sent to Campaign for America's Future supporters. Thanks! -- Bill Scher, CAF Online Editor
No progress on ending the war. No progress on new energy. No progress on health care costs. Why is the new Congress gridlocked?
Conservatives are working hard to spin this as the fault of a "do nothing Congress." But that's like someone mugging the postman and then complaining that the mail isn't delivered. The fact is it's the conservative minority's own filibusters and vetoes that are systematically killing progress.
It's gruesome stuff. You'll see the right in action -- gleefully suffocating stem cell research, strangling children's health insurance, even axing decent rest and rehab for our soldiers.
We can't let the right-wing get away with railing about the lack of progress even as they conspire to block it.
We're done with the right's pernicious schemes. We're not buying the lies and the spin. We can overcome the dark spirits by exposing their plot to the light.
