[Peace-discuss] Durbin in town on Thursday

[C. G. ESTABROOK]

[He should also be lobbied on this, from Roots Action. --CGE]

We need your help to stop the 'Super Congress' before it starts.

Last week's disastrous debt deal sets up a separate Kangaroo Congress, which can 
slash Medicare, Social Security and other necessities without repercussion. Even 
worse? It only requires a majority of seven out of twelve members to set our 
national priorities for years to come, and it's accountable to no one.

With anyone who voted against the debt deal unlikely to be appointed, we need to 
stop this Super Congress before it can start. That's why we're teaming up with 
our ally The Other 98%, looking for a member of the Congressional Progressive 
Caucus brave enough to repeal the Super Congress law now.

Sign our letter to end the Super Congress TODAY.

Sincerely,
Aimee, David, Sarah
and the Roots Action team
