Weekly
Address: President Obama Praises Recovery Act Progress In his weekly address, President Barack Obama touted the gains the Recovery Act has made in a little more than 100 days. While the recession is still far from over, the Recovery Act has helped end the economic free fall, ease the rate of monthly job losses from 700,000 a month, extend unemployment and health insurance to those who have lost their jobs, and deliver $43 billion in tax relief to working families. As the Recovery Act ramps up throughout this summer and fall, it will be instrumental in laying a new foundation for America and American workers to compete and win in the 21st century. |

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY VILSACK TO HOLD RURAL COMMUNITY FORUM IN MICHIGAN WASHINGTON, July 10, 2009 - On Monday, July 13, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack will hold a rural community forum in Charlotte, Mich., as part of the Obama Administration's Rural Tour. At the forum, Vilsack will share information with local residents about the work USDA is doing to revitalize and rebuild rural America and ask local residents how USDA can be helpful in supporting and initiating other programs and projects to help the community participate fully and successfully in the new, 21st century economy. Vilsack will also highlight American Renewal and Reinvestment Act projects improving communities in Michigan and benefiting people throughout rural America. Last week, President Obama announced that Secretary Vilsack will lead the Administration's Rural Tour, during which Vilsack and other top officials will visit rural communities in states throughout the country. Vice President Joe Biden and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack kicked off the Rural Tour last Wednesday in Wattsburg, Pa., at an event announcing Recovery Act funds to expand broadband service in rural America. This week the Rural Tour continued with a forum in Concord, N.H. Rural Tour events are currently scheduled in Alaska, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. These upcoming events follow the rural listening sessions that Secretary Vilsack held earlier this year in Danville, Ind., Geneseo, Ill., Harrodsburg, Ky., Ludowici, Ga., Portageville, Mo., and Brush, Colo. USDA is encouraging all Americans to follow the Rural Tour's progress on a new website, www.RuralTour.gov or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/RuralTour. The USDA provides leadership on food, agriculture and natural resources and touches the life of every American. Secretary Vilsack and the USDA are working to promote a sustainable, safe, sufficient and nutritious food supply, ensure that America leads the global fight against climate change, and revitalize rural communities by expanding economic opportunities. WHAT: Rural Tour Community Forum with USDA
Sec. Tom Vilsack WHEN: Monday, July 13, 2009 WHERE: Country Mill Farm |

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS ACTION ALERT: Your calls today can make the difference! Dear Fellow CYD Members, As you all know, California is in a state of financial crisis. The current budget deficit is $26.3 billion dollars, and that number continues to grow the longer we go without a solution. The cuts on the table have included the termination of Cal Grants, suspension of Prop. 98 (which guarantees funding to K-14 education), raids on local government revenue, the obliteration of vital social programs, and a host of other measures that would saddle our generation with debt for years to come. The Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to avert these disastrous cuts as much as possible, but the Republicans are refusing to compromise. We need your help! Please see the message below from the California Democratic Party as to ways that you can be involved, and take a moment to make a difference. Sincerely, Julie Lind, Political Director A message from the California Democratic Party: BLUE TO RED PHONEBANK – YOUR CALLS TODAY CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!! Nothing is more effective than a personal call – from one Democrat to another. As we know, the Governor has proposed a cuts-only budget that will close California’s massive budget deficit by punishing children, the elderly and people with disabilities. His plan will also harm our precious natural resources. The Governor’s plan takes California in the wrong direction and will not promote long-term economic stability, let alone recovery. Republican legislators refuse to compromise and would rather protect corporate welfare than children’s healthcare. They must hear that their constituents want them to pass a common-sense plan that preserves the social safety net and the vital resources that our communities need. We want to generate BLUE County to RED County phone calls so that lawmakers know we are all watching and will hold them accountable! Legislative action on the budget is happening now and we must make our voices heard. Please take a few minutes to consider how you can help. There are two ways you can help make this phoning effort successful: 1. Log in and call from home! http://www.cadem.org/callavoter Call Democratic activists in targeted red districts to ask them to call their lawmakers and deliver a message as a constituent. These calls are extremely effective in pressuring elected lawmakers to listen to their constituents and think twice about supporting the Governor’s cuts-only budget. It’s simple and easy. Just log in and we provide the scripts and phone numbers
2. Organize a phone bank at your Headquarters! If you prefer to hold a traditional phone bank, we can provide scripts and lists for your club or committee to use. And please be creative, perhaps hold a lunch-time “budget hour” and ask activists to gather in a meeting place and use their cell phones to make calls over lunch. Or plan an after-work, social “budget hour” during which activists can make an hour of calls together after work instead of a hitting a happy hour. Email mollie@cadem.org for phone lists today! I urge you to take action now to encourage activists and club and committee members to get involved and pick up the phone! Please be sure to let us know what action your committee is taking and how we can help. It’s important that we act as a team and be creative. The time is now and the tools are available. Thank you for your leadership and activism! |
