Congratulations to everyone on a successful Pledge Project weekend last Saturday! Over 1,000 canvassing or tabling events were held across the country resulting in unprecedented support for President’s Obama’s direction on the economy.

To build on that success Organizing for America is giving us more tools and additional asks to keep the momentum going – please read the information below from Mary Jane Stevenson, the California OFA Liasion and take action. Thanks!

Fellow Organizers,

After winning a two-year campaign for the opportunity for change, we are now embarking on a four (and hopefully eight)-year campaign to accomplish that change. Please join me in these beginning stages of that campaign – as so many of you already have with your continued commitment to the pledge project. And now, as we help our President get a budget passed – a budget that is the essential blueprint for his agenda.

The vote on President Obama’s proposed budget is probably going to happen late next week. Let’s make sure that congress hears our voices!

OFA has a great new CALL TOOL for volunteers to call our supporters nationwide! We want to get as many people signing the pledge (online and offline) as possible, AND we want to be sure they are calling folks ON THE HILL non-stop.

Almost 50,000 calls were made yesterday across the country! In one day! To congressional folks! Every single district got called, and the AVERAGE per office was over 100. Let’s keep it going!

Here’s the link for people to call supporters and ask them to call their congressional representatives:
