Cornyn skipped the stimulus vote to hobnob with Wall Street donors. We've got to get this story out there. Can you chip in $25 to help air this radio ad across Texas? Contribute Dear fellow Texas MoveOn member, You're not going to believe this. In the midst of an economic crisis caused largely by Wall Street greed, our senator skipped this week's vote on the stimulus plan so he could meet with—wait for it—Republican donors from Wall Street.1 Sen. John Cornyn wasn't just fiddling while Rome burned—he was actually hanging out with the arsonists. He showed us that congressional Republicans aren't fighting for their constituents who got laid off or watched their retirement savings disappear or lost their health coverage. They're just looking out for their big-money corporate friends. We've recorded a powerful radio ad calling out Sen. Cornyn. It's already up in a few markets in Texas—and he's already lashed out at us for telling voters what he's really been up to.2 Now, we need to get the story out to the rest of our state. Can you chip in $25 to help air this ad? https://pol.moveon.org/donate/cornyn.html?id=15562-8058953-uYt72sx&t=3 When we voted in November, we sent our representatives to Washington first and foremost to get us out of this economic mess. But what have the Republicans done? They've acted like it's just back to business as usual, where you try to score political points and play partisan games instead of working together to help regular Americans. It's bad enough that every single House Republican voted against a bill that would create 3 to 4 million jobs at a time when we're losing a half-million jobs every month. But for someone not even to show up to cast their obstructionist "no" vote? It's insulting. Just think: If you were one of the tens of thousands of Texans who lost their jobs in the last year, how would you like to hear that instead of doing his job, your senator was out wining and dining the same people who torpedoed our economy in the first place? Let's make sure as many Texans hear this story as possible. We can't let Sen. Cornyn run off to Washington and New York and forget about us back here in Texas without paying a price. Chip in $25 today to help get this ad out there widely: https://pol.moveon.org/donate/cornyn.html?id=15562-8058953-uYt72sx&t=4 Thanks for all you do.–Justin, Noah, Marika, Joan and the rest of the team Source: 1.
