If anyone is interested here are some numbers you can call to voice your concern over the House's government shutdown.

Chairman of the House Budget Committee Paul Ryan (202) 225-3031

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (202) 225-2815

Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (202) 225-2915

Speaker John Boehner (202) 225-0600

Tell House Republicans: Stop holding the government hostage to your extremist demands

Intransigent and irresponsible Republican extremists in Congress have precipitated a government shutdown that will cause widespread economic pain.

Pick up the phone today, and demand that House Republicans stop holding our economy hostage to their extremist demands.

Possible Script:
Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I am calling to say that Republicans must stop holding our entire economy hostage to their irresponsible demands.
It's time for Republicans to take responsibility as sitting members of Congress to ensure the basic functioning of our government. And that means working to restore funding to the federal government by immediately passing the Senate’s routine and uncontroversial government funding bill, which already incorporates cuts demanded by Republicans.

Make the Call

Then:

If your senator is a democrat call him or her

Tell Democrats: Don't cave to Republican extremists

Leaders of 12 powerful countries will meet behind closed doors to seal an extreme Internet censorship plan called the Trans Pacific Partnership. The TPP will make the Internet more expensive, censored, and policed. Even if you have the extra money to pay I can pretty much guarantee you will not like the censorship. They will be able to monitor internet use, censor content and even remove whole websites deemed unacceptable. The possible repercussions are infinite. This is some scary shit that will negatively affect all our lives.

Please take the time to sign this petition. Pass it on to your friends. I don't know if this can be stopped but it's definitely worth the effort to try. The TPP will change the internet forever. It will change it in ways that we can only imagine. And once this has passed the skies the limit. Don't doubt that stemming the flow of information and the easy access we now have to what is really happening around the globe is not a prime objective. Also just imagine what kind of content will be deemed worthy of censorship.

TELL THE MEDIA: IT’S TIME TO EXPOSE THE TPP
TO: NEWS DIRECTORS AT CNN, MSNBC, ABC NEWS, CBS NEWS, NBC NEWS

The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a massive new trade agreement being negotiated between the United States and 11 other countries. The TPP would undermine our nation’s environmental, labor and intellectual property standards and ship American jobs overseas while dumping our wages and benefits overboard along the way. The TPP has been negotiated behind closed doors with special access granted to corporate lobbyists while Members of Congress and the American people have been shut out. We respectfully urge you to give this massive trade agreement the critical attention it deserves in order to inform the American people and shine a light on an agreement that would fundamentally alter the American economy and threaten American jobs.
Why is this important?

The Obama Administration is negotiating a massive new trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) that would threaten American jobs and rewrite laws governing our food safety, access to medicine and intellectual property rights.

Yet the negotiation has been shrouded in secrecy. Special access has been given to corporate lobbyists, but the American people and Members of Congress have been shut out.

The television news media should be playing a vital role in informing the American people about the far-reaching and troubling implications of the TPP, but a recent study by the public watchdog group Media Matters found that there has been virtually no televised news coverage of the TPP in the past six months.

Given the secret nature of negotiations and the virtual blackout from television news networks, the American people remain largely unaware of the potential legislation and its effects on our country.

Our nation must have a thorough public debate before voting on another NAFTA-style trade deal.

It is vital that the mainstream television news networks provide full and balanced coverage of this major legislation so that the American people are informed about the potential impact of the TPP.

Recently, a bill was introduced in Congress to give the Obama Administration so-called “Fast Track Authority.” If approved, Fast Track Authority would prevent Congress from fully debating or amending the TPP before a required up-or-down vote.

So far, the Obama Administration is facing stiff opposition to their proposal from Democrats in the House and Senate. Proponents of Fast-Track embarrassingly could not find a single Democrat to co-sponsor the measure in the House. Meanwhile, Senator Harry Reid has joined me and 150 of my Democratic colleagues in declaring our opposition to Fast Track Authority.

While Democrats have been joined by 23 House Republicans, there is still a chance that proponents can push Fast Track Authority through. As some in Congress contemplate their position on Fast Track, it is more important than ever that their constituents be informed of this legislation and their representative’s stance on the issue.

Join me in urging the mainstream news media to use their unique position as a trusted source of information in order to inform the American public and allow democracy to work its will.
