Hunter --

President Obama is in Dallas today urging Americans who 
support the American Jobs Act to demand that Congress pass 
it already.

Though it's been nearly a month since he laid out this plan, 
House Republicans haven't acted to pass it. And House Majority 
Leader Eric Cantor is out there actually bragging that they won't 
even put the jobs package up for a vote -- ever.

It's not clear which part of the bill they now object to: building roads, 
hiring teachers, getting veterans back to work. They're willing 
to block the American Jobs Act -- and they think you won't do 
anything about it.

But here's something you can do: Find Republican members 
of Congress on Twitter, call them out, and demand they pass 
this bill.

Be the first to use our new tool and tweet for jobs:

Here's why we built this new tool, and why it's important.

If you've written letters or sent email to Congress before, you 
know it can be a frustrating experience -- sometimes it takes 
them weeks to respond, and sometimes they don't respond 
at all.
 
But many members of Congress personally receive the 
messages sent to them on Twitter, so you have a better chance
of getting your message directly to them.

And even if they don't respond, your message will be public -- 
front and center for everyone who follows you or your 
representative. That means their staff, other constituents, 
and the media will see the mounting pressure.

So tweet for jobs now:

If you don't use Twitter, you can also contact someone else 
who needs to hear from you about this bill: The editor of your 
local paper. We have a tool that lets you send a letter to the editor, 
and even gives you facts and tips to help you write the most 
effective note you can. Write one now:

The American Jobs Act is not controversial legislation.
 
Ideas like rebuilding our roads and bridges, repairing our public 
schools, and keeping teachers in our classrooms are all ideas 
the Republicans have said they would support or have even 
proposed themselves.

But they're so dead set on preventing anything from getting 
done on President Obama's watch that they will reverse, deny, 
or ignore what they've said and done in the past -- even if it 
costs more American jobs.

And remember: They're willing to cost you and any other 
American your job, or your chance at a new job, because they 
think that doing nothing won't cost them theirs. Tweet at 
Republican members of Congress now and tell them you 
want a vote on the jobs bill right away:

Or write a letter to the editor:

I know we've been asking a lot of you lately, and all of us here 
would have loved to give you a break this week after all the 
emails we've been sending. But the reality is that we're building 
a grassroots organization from the ground up even as we're 
supporting the President in battles that need to be won right now. 
And that means we've got to be willing to stay focused week 
after week from now through the election.

Thanks again to all of you who donated to the campaign before 
the end of the third quarter, and for everything else you do to 
have the President's back.

Thanks,

Messina
