ALERT: The 124 House Members Who Need Your Calls On The Back To Work Budget

There are 124 member of Congress who need to hear from you now about your support for the Congressional Progressive Caucus Back to Work Budget. Between now and an anticipated vote on Tuesday, these offices need to be flooded with calls from constituents saying, "Please vote for the Progressive Caucus Back to Work Budget."

This list includes some members who already support the budget, but want to be able to claim grassroots support for their efforts from their constituents. Others on this list are either on the fence or are right now outright opposed. If enough of us call, we could move some "no" and "maybe" votes to the "yes" column.

Why is this important? You already know: The House of Representatives will make a choice next week between the Republican-backed budget by Rep. Paul Ryan that will slow the economy and kill jobs, and the Back to Work Budget that is squarely focused on growing the economy and creating jobs. And, as economist Paul Krugman points out in his column today, it does so without "Ryan-style magic asterisks" and cuts to vital services and investments we must make to grow the economy.

So get your cellphones (and landlines) out. The question for your member of Congress: "Will you support the Progressive Caucus Back to Work Budget so that Americans can get back to work?" (You can also show your support by signing this petition.)
