Don't Let the Trillion Dollar No-Stimulus Bill Pass the Senate! Take a stand against the Pelosi-Reid-Obama big-government pork-barrel spending bill by signing our online petition TODAY! Last week, the trillion dollar, unprecedented explosion in federal spending misleadingly called a "stimulus" package passed a vote in the House, but all the House Republicans and 11 House Democrats stood up to Nancy Pelosi and voted 'no' to bigger government, more debt, and more wasteful programs.
This bill is not inevitable!
The bill needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate. We have the public on our side, and with enough grassroots pressure we'll win!

Thank you for posting this link. My senators have heard from me and even a few that aren’t my senators.
[Mr] T
Contacting our rulers to beg for mercy is a wasted effort. In fact they enjoy your howls as they drink the swill of socialism.
They pushed this same scam under Bush with an assist from McCain, all trators to our country and constitution.
Our founding fathers would already be firing shots to be heard around the world.
We are standing by as our children and grandchildren’s freedom is being sold down the road.
THANK you!
I am sure that he has had to heed the “over four hour” warning by now!
Signed.
Thanks! Obama is in panic mode. His poll numbers are dropping and so are the numbers on his pork bill!!
Keep up the pressure folks!
THanks for the ping & your work. I signed the nostimulus petition after a friend I work with (not a FReeper) emailed it to me the other day.
BTTT!
Inundating the 4 holdouts with calls is holding their feet to the fire.
This isn't a site where members beg for mercy from turncoats and liberals.
And they are not our rulers, they are our employees. (Don't fall for their self adulation)
We are standing by as our children and grandchildrens freedom is being sold down the road.
Speak for yourself. Others on this thread are doing something about it.
I'm sure by now you've heard of the almost one trillion dollar stimulus package moving through the U.S. Senate.
But it's not really a stimulus bill. It's a big government, big corruption, and big pork bill.
Among many other wasteful, non-stimulative projects, it includes $650 million for digital TV coupons, $1 billion for climate satellite and habitat restoration programs, and $600 million to replace a portion of the federal government vehicle fleet.
In the video below, I lay out in stark terms exactly why this bill, as currently written, is not worthy of our support. Please take a moment to watch.
The Gallup Poll found that 54% of Americans either want to see major changes to the current plan, or they outright reject it. Other surveys are also indicating that public support is plummeting. Politicians can call it stimulus and they can call it change, but it's just more of the same - and the American people are starting to realize it.
That's why the time to act is now. With so much at stake, our elected officials need to hear from us.
Here is what you can do - pick up your phone and call your Senators right now at 202-224-3121. Let them know exactly what you think about how they intend to spend your hard-earned money.
The Senate is voting at the end of this week, so please make the call today.
I’ve signed up!
I tried ALL DAY to call Snarlin Arlen, but got a busy signal every time. I sent an email, but will continue trying tomorrow.
Thanks. You may find secondary office locations where you can get through and have a real human conversation.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks, done.
Will do.
SIGNED!
