MoveOn members are getting together in Chandler on Sunday to learn the most effective grassroots strategies for influencing Congress and plan our first visits to local congressional offices. Can you make it? > > > Yes, I'll be there > Dear MoveOn member, > On Sunday, we're holding Congressional Action Trainings around the country. There's one in Chandler, and we want you to come. > Here's why it's so important: President-elect Obama is calling for bold change on the big issues-starting with a plan to get the economy moving again. But he'll need the votes in the House and Senate to make it happen. > So we've got to make sure our representatives know we're counting on them to pass Obama's agenda. We'll start by learning the most effective grassroots strategies for influencing Congress-and plan our first visits to local congressional offices. > Can you make it to the training in Chandler at 3 p.m. on Sunday? > Yes, I'll be there! > When powerful corporate interests want to get legislation passed through Congress, they turn to lobbyists. But we don't have an army of lobbyists-just each other. And so it's up to every one of us to make sure that our senators and representatives do what's right. > That's why we've put together this training, in partnership with our friends at Wellstone Action. We'll cover everything you need to know to influence your members of Congress, with a special video and practice exercises. > Then, we'll plan for our first congressional visits. On Wednesday, January 14, we'll stop by local offices to call on Congress to pass Obama's economic-recovery package and ask for a sit-down meeting next month. > And to celebrate the New Year-and new leadership-we'll have a potluck meal. > Now's the time to get involved.
