ASLforLife. I relate to you. It can be so exhausting explaining very simple concepts in contacting lawmakers. That tells lots about our society. However, I do see very similar concerns in the mainstream.

Huh?

Already made a decision? They voted? Is it on the news? You are quick!

Oh man… what should we do next?

All right.

The Senate made a decision, to our dismay. The $13 billions was trimmed off, as well as other needed $$ for education.

So, the next round is to see which version is more desirable… House version or Senate version. The goal is to have the stimulus budget on Obama’s desk by George Washington’s birthday.

For Hoosiers (people who live in Indiana):

Senator Evan Bayh: http://bayh.senate.gov/contact/email/

Senator Richard Lugar: senator_lugar@lugar.senate.gov

When I called them yesterday, both of their voice mails were full. So I emailed instead.

I emailed both of my senators here in MI… Senator Levin’s phone line was timed-out several times. Senator Stabenow’s voicemail was full.

Just to let the Michiganders know!

Try calling them anyway and if that fails,

go here at:

For Senator Levin: http://levin.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm

For Senator Stabenow: http://stabenow.senate.gov/email.cfm

I chose the topic “Economy” in the drop down field.

Thanks, I gotta do it. This is so important to be called out to everyone! I copied and pasted it in my email and forwarded it on to all of my friends and asked them to pass it to everyone they know!

Thank you for the important reminder! Thanks, Karen, for doing this in ASL version.

I also want to thank Peter aka CoolPJR for alerting me via YT.

I will make the phone calls today and alert others here as well.
