“November Speaks Event” in Washington, D.C. and virtual march


This is time sensitive material so I am posting it today. Besides signing the virtual petition, remember the Congressmen who can be most likely influenced includes all members of the House and the Senators who are up for reelection in 2012.

The Lame Duck Session is now a reality, with both the House and the Senate set to return Nov. 15th for a one week session, followed by a one week break for Thanksgiving, and at least one more week at the beginning of December. AFP activists will travel to the nation’s capital to tell Congress that November has spoken and Washington can’t ignore the American people in a lame duck session.

Save the Date—U.N. Climate Change Conference in Cancun, Mexico—Dec. 2nd

The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 16) will meet in Cancun, Mexico from November 29–December 10 2010; and Americans for Prosperity is taking our Hot Air Tour there to meet them on December 2nd. The COP meetings are a series of conferences aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions; transferring wealth and technology from developed to developing nations; and raising the cost of traditional energy in order to prop up politically popular new sources.

National Review—An Opportunity, Not an Endorsement

Over the past several years, we’ve had the honor of working with millions of free-market activists across the country. You have taken time away from your families, your work, and your lives to get involved in the public-policy process in an unprecedented way.

Washington ignored your concerns and pushed forward with a big-government agenda of out-of-control spending, regulation, and taxes. Voters decisively rejected that agenda in this election.

We caution Republicans, however, against interpreting this election as an endorsement of their recent performance, which has too often fallen short of their professed principles.

This election provides an opportunity for Republicans to prove themselves worthy of the support of grassroots free-market activists. Indeed, this may be the best opportunity they will have for a generation.
