Tell Boehner: Enough already with the damned 'Repeal Obamacare' votes
May 15, 2013
House Republicans have now voted 37 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, aka, "Obamacare." (source)
37 times. Even though repeal has no chance of passing the Senate, and certainly no chance of being signed by President Obama.
There is real work to be done, and yet Boehner and the House Republicans have chosen to focus instead on appealing to their lunatic fringe through a series of "Groundhog Day" votes. Enough is enough.

The latest, from Left Action:
MoreWant to defeat Michele Bachmann in 2014? Click here, tell her to "take a hike," and get ready to make it happen. The DCCC is making defeating her a top priority, and so are we.

Tell Harry Reid: Fix the Filibuster
Mar 06, 2013
Send Harry Reid a message, and tell him to FIX the filibuster.
The "gentlemen's agreement" Reid agreed to at the beginning of this term has been a colossal failure. Republicans have not reduced abuse of the filibuster, they've increased it.
It's time for Harry Reid to stop being played for such a fool. It's time for real filibuster reform.

Tell Canada: End the Baby Seal Slaughter
Feb 27, 2013
On average, sealers make less than 5 percent of their income from killing seals. So what brings in the other 95 percent? Seafood.
Here is how your boycott of Canadian seafood can help: Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans says it will shut down the commercial seal slaughter when Canada's fishing industry asks it to do so.

Tell Donald Trump: Drop Your Absurd Lawsuit against Bill Maher
Feb 13, 2013
(Note: For each message sent, Left Action will make a donation to help protect orangutans*)
Sometimes it seems like Donald Trump really must stay up nights, figuring out ways to be an even bigger clown:
MoreBack in October, everyone's favorite businessman who needs to fire his hair stylist challenged Barack Obama to present his college transcripts and passport records in exchange for a $5 million donation to the charities of the president's choice. Needless to say, the POTUS never took Trump up on his offer.

Take Action Against Gun Violence
Jan 16, 2013
President Obama has just asked Congress to take a series of steps to fight gun violence, and has taken immediate action himself by signing multiple executive orders.
**Write Congress TODAY, stand with President Obama, and demand action against gun violence**
Spread the word by sharing this, and let's keep up the pressure. Reasonable people can differ on the exact steps needed, but if we (once again) take no action, we should be ashamed.
