Friends--all of you know my political leanings, and most of you share at least some of those opinions. I feel very strongly that the new Congress needs to act quickly on several important issues, including the minimum wage, fiscal responsibility, stem-cell research, dependence on oil, and the war in Iraq. The following text and link are provided by MoveOn.org in an effort to petition members of Congress and the Senate to act on these issues in spite of lobbying efforts by big business. Please take a moment or two to include your name on the petition.

As you may have heard, Nancy Pelosi is hoping to start off big with her "100 Hours Agenda."
It's a bunch of progressive proposals, including cutting oil subsidies to invest in clean energy, getting cheaper prescription drugs for seniors, and raising the minimum wage. Naturally, the big drug companies, oil companies, and business lobbies are fighting hard to stop her.
MoveOn has started a petition to Congress so we can show our representatives we're ready for some real progress, and they should act quickly to pass the 100 Hours Agenda. Plus, the total signature count and some of our comments will be read out loud on the floor of Congress during the debate -- so the more we get, the louder our voice will be.
You can join me in signing today at: http://pol.moveon.org/100hours
Thanks!
