GOP will hold the House and take the Senate.  Prepare to be really buimmed out.

BREAKING: Buffett Rule fails in Senate

 Take back Congress from the 1%

Donate now so we can take back Congress for the 99%.

Today in a close vote, the Senate failed to pass the Buffett Rule, a
groundbreaking piece of legislation that would have made millionaires
and billionaires pay their fair share. So while the middle and working
class will be paying their fair share in taxes on Tax Day tomorrow,
many of the 1% will not.

The GOP obstructionists voted against the Buffett Rule, just like they
voted for the Medicare-killing Ryan budget. They're basically Robin
Hood in reverse - robbing from the 99% to give ever more lavish tax
breaks to the rich.

The majority of the country wants the Buffett Rule but they just
ignored us. They can't be changed, they can only be defeated.

So we've got a plan to defeat these right-wing zealots by registering
and turning out progressive voters this fall in key states and
congressional districts. Will you donate $5 right now to help us take
back Congress from the 1%?

With your help, we'll be working in:

•    8 of the 12 states key in deciding the presidential election;
•    Nearly half of the Congressional seats needed to win the majority
in the U.S. House, including some of the most progressive candidates
in the country like Ann McLane Kuster (NH-2);
•    7 key U.S. Senate races, including 2 of the top progressive
Senate candidates – Sherrod Brown in Ohio and Tammy Baldwin in
Wisconsin. And with Sen. Olympia Snowe stepping down, we have an
opportunity to pick up an additional Senate seat in Maine!
•    2 of the most competitive Governors' race in the country (NH and WV);
•    1 of the most important ballot initiatives in the country
(overturn Ohio's anti-voting rights law H.B. 194);
•    9 states with key state legislative races that could determine
control of a legislative body or deny a right-wing supermajority;

These are all states where USAction and our affiliates have been
long-time leaders waging issue campaigns, building coalitions and
creating a progressive infrastructure, and where we will continue to
do so long after Election Day. The core of the 2012 plan is based on
two paid organizers in each congressional district recruiting 400
volunteers and coordinating a 4-month volunteer canvass that can build
our base by contacting at least 7,500 voters that support us and
getting them to vote.

To be successful, however, we need to start these volunteer canvasses
by May 15th - that's just 1 month away! Your donation of $5 today can
help us fund these organizers and their outreach, and make the
difference in November. Then next year we can pass a Buffett Rule, and
bring sanity back to our government.

We need a Congress that works of, by and for the people — not just the
1%. Donate $5 now so we can take back Congress for the 99%.

Thank you for all you do,
David Elliot
