House GOP Leaders Call for Democrats to Post Massive Omnibus Spending Bill Online

Now we just need to make sure none of our Republican Senators vote FOR the stimulus.

To our Senate Republicans: Filibuster time guys. Use the fact that it's not open and transparent to the public as a rallying call to hold off on the thing until it's posted online! Stand on your conservative principles.

House GOP Leaders Call for Democrats to Post Massive Omnibus Spending Bill Online
In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Republican leaders yesterday formally asked that the massive FY 2009 omnibus spending bill be posted online immediately. Posting the massive bill online would allow the American people to study the contents of the bill between now and the week after President’s Day, when the $500 billion legislation is scheduled to be brought to a vote, and would be consistent with President Obama’s call for greater transparency in government, Republican leaders noted.

Another group working to stop the stimulus

I'm working with TCOT (http://moveovermoveon.posterous.com) and WAM (www.wam08.org) and keeping up with www.nostimulus.com, to try and stop the stimulus, but that doesn't mean I can't promote other groups who are working hard to fight this thing! We need millions of people contacting their Senators. The more groups like the three I mentioned and the one below, the better our chances of reaching people who are sleeping through what could turn out to be the greatest threat our country has ever faced.

ACTION ALERT: Tell Sen. McConnell to Rally Against the Obama Debt Plan!

Great American Patriots!

You have a chance to make a difference this week. In just three days our group "I Say No to the Stimulus Package" has over 1,250 members and growing!

Now here's what we can do- This week the bill will enter the Senate.

We need the Republicans in the Senate to unite against the bill. Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell must rally the troops to say no to the stimulus package. We've put together an Action Alert on TCU describing what YOU can do.
