3000 phone calls more effective than millions of dollars put in by large banks

[Administrator2]

Here is an example of a massive success of coordinated grass roots effort.

Banks have spent over 100 million dollars to lobby the Congress to stop Financial regulation reform. But targeted and timely 3000 calls from grassroots to Sen. Scott Brown's office has changed the course of this entire debate.

Because of those 3000 calls, Sen. Brown decided to be the 60th vote for the cloture, ultimately resulting in financial reform.

So why did Brown buckle, after voting to uphold the filibuster on Wednesday?

For starters, he received 3,000 phone calls to his office over the last week, all of them by supporters of Organizing for America




Brown received around 900 calls on Thursday alone, a DNC source said.


This is what only handful of us can also help achieve when it matters the most. It needs coordination and timely action from the grassroots and all IV members.

Please call the senators, congressman and representatives from your area.

You may be surprised to find that their office staff is very cooperative. Support IV coordinate this effort.

Best Wishes for all.
