I just used TrueMajorityACTION's easy system to send a message to my senators and representatives, letting them know that I oppose the privatization of Social Security. Check this out:


Can Oreos Save the Country?

It's budget time again, and President Bush has released another budget plan that is hundreds of pages long and really hard to decipher. TrueMajority has plowed though the rows of figures, and it's just more guns and less butter.

Ben Cohen (the ice cream guy), says there’s an easier way to see how Washington really spends our dough. He’s a food guy, so he uses stacks of Oreos to show people where their taxes really go – and how easy it would be to spend them more wisely. He even made a short cartoon of his demonstration, and over a million people have seen it. (it’s at

Now TrueMajority has made it possible for you to take the budget and make it stack up more fairly. Think good schools make for a strong country? Move the money for just one new submarine into education, and you can hire 110,000 new teachers! You get the idea. Then just click the mouse to send your budget priorities to Congress.
