OH WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH JUST BY CLICKING ON DAILY KOS E MAILS 23FEB14

JUST some of the results in February from clicking on Daily Kos e mails......

• You helped stop a war against Iran. The Menendez sanctions bill would have torpedoed the President’s negotiations, and nearly had a veto-proof majority in the U.S. Senate. But Daily Kos community members sent 142,661 emails to their senators, turned the tide and got enough Democrats to back off.
  
• You got Obama to drop Social Security cuts. As part of a larger team effort with coalition partners, over 240,000 of you worked for months to save Social Security and stop a chained CPI with emails and petitions. On Thursday, the White House announced that chained CPI will not be in the President's budget proposal—scoring a huge victory against the austerity crowd.
  
• You saved public wifi in Kansas. After reading it in a Daily Kos Recommended email, over 11,000 of you shared a community diary on Facebook that explained how the Kansas legislature was about to block cities from offering free public Internet. You made that story go viral, and within three days the bill was dead. Boom.
  

At Daily Kos, we're sick of fundamentalist bigots and right-wing billionaires dominating American politics. That's why we keep scaling up the nation's largest progressive community--to make sure that the progressive grassroots are heard in every fight.

Mission: Destroy Democracy - SumOfUs.org responds 22SEP13

I like SumOfUS.org , they are a small, bold progressive group that uses social media to challenge the greed of corporate America and promote social justice issues. They choose their campaigns wisely and provide the information and tools necessary for the progressive community to participate. Click the link above to go to their website and if you can make a donation, I did. Here is a bit about them....

Welcome to SumOfUs

SumOfUs.org is a new world-wide movement for a better global economy.

Here’s what we stand for:

• Governments that answer to citizens – not corporations
• Fair treatment of workers and the right of every human being to make a living, safely and ethically, for themselves and their family;

The right of ordinary consumers to products that are produced and marketed ethically, sustainably and transparently;

• The right of communities to manage and protect their own environment and natural resources;
• Business models that put people and the planet first instead of being driven by shortsighted greed.

Yeah, take that deep breath, close your eyes and imagine what kind of a world that could be – and then crash back to this one.

We’ve witnessed again and again what happens when powerful corporations get their way:

• Environmental and health catastrophes like Fukushima and the BP oil disaster;
• A global financial crisis that destroys entire economies;
• Rising food prices and starving children;
• Families from Kalamazoo to Timbuktu losing their houses and land;
• Poisons pouring into our air and water.

You name it, corporations are behind it. But rather than being held accountable – their CEOs are often walking away with bonuses. And these injustices are largely left to continue unabated.

But the world doesn’t have to be this way. And here’s the secret: We own the corporations that are causing all these problems. They rely on us to buy their products. They count on us to buy their stock. They need us to work for them. They need us to continue to elect governments that let them get away with murder.

We are SumOfUs.org, and we’re not going to take it anymore.
