Tell the Super Committee to end the big oil bailout

Every year Congress hands out billions in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry — money that wealthy oil, gas and coal companies don’t need. Those billions could be used instead to pay for important domestic programs at a time when Congress is grappling with ways to reduce the deficit.

With our country facing massive cuts to education and health care programs, we can’t afford to waste tens of billions of dollars in giveaways to the oil, coal and gas industries. Eliminating these handouts could reduce our national debt by $121 billion over the next decade.

A congressional “Super Committee” is working to propose $1.5 trillion in cuts by Nov. 23. Will you join me in telling the Super Committee to end the $121 billion in subsidies to the oil, gas and coal industries? Just click here to sign on:

Stand with Occupy Wall Street – #occupy #ows #usdor

Dear Friend,

Not a single banker has gone to jail for crimes that led to the financial meltdown. But now over 1,000 protesters have been arrested in the inspiring Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City.

The occupation of Wall Street has inspired a nationwide movement in the spirit of Wisconsin.

But there has been a powerful backlash against peaceful protesters who are using both their right to public assembly and tactics of nonviolent civil disobedience to call attention to the fact that our government has bailed out the wealthiest Americans but has done little to help middle and working class Americans who have lost their jobs and had their homes foreclosed on.

The protest is building momentum with a huge solidarity march today that CREDO members, progressive organizations and labor are joining. However the very existence of Occupy Wall Street could be endangered by strongarm NYPD tactics aimed at intimidating protesters and ending their three week stand against the big Wall Street banks.

I told Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to respect the Occupy Wall Street protesters’ constitutional right to peaceful assembly. You can, too, at the link below. http://ping.fm/B5SKv
