Finally!
A powerful
organization exists that acts as a "loudspeaker" to make your voice
heard in Congress. TrueMajority is a grassroots education and
advocacy project of Priorities, Inc., a non-profit organization
founded by Ben Cohen, Co-founder of Ben and Jerry's. TrueMajority
sifts through all the stuff going on. When your voice counts to
create a just and sustainable world, you get an email alert. Then
just by clicking one button a fax is sent to your congressperson in
your name. It takes about 2 minutes a month and it's free. To
register, go to truemajority.com.
TrueMajority's
underlying philosophy is contained in the TrueMajority
Principles, a positive blueprint for moving forward in the post Sept.
11th world. These principles reflect the American values of
compassion, charity and justice--the same values we must adhere
to in order to build a safer, more secure home and world. These
principles are also revenue-neutral, meaning the investments proposed
are entirely funded by reductions in unnecessary spending on Cold
War-era weapons that no longer contribute to our national security.
The
10 principles that guide TrueMajority are as follows:
1.
Attack poverty and world hunger as if our life depends on it. It
does.
2.
Champion the rights of every child, woman and man.
3.
End our obstructionism to the world's treaties.
4.
Reduce our dependence on oil and lead the world to an age of
renewable energy.
5.
Close the book on the Cold War and ease the nuclear nightmare.
6.
Renounce Star Wars and the militarization of space.
7.
Make globalization work for, not against, working people.
8.
Ensure equal treatment under law for all.
9.
Get money out of politics.
10.
Close the gap between rich and poor kids at home.
TrueMajority's
principles are endorsed by Greenpeace, Rock the Vote,
Physicians for Social Responsibility, Peace Action, the National Head
Start Association, Global Exchange, The Interfaith Alliance, The
Nation magazine, Sojourners, Rainforest Action Network, Women's
Action for New Directions (WAND), Service Employees International
Union (SEIU), National Council of La Raza, and a long and growing
list of Americans.
Once
you register at TrueMajority.com,
you can go to their "Take Action" section and send faxes on the
issues you care about to members of Congress and national leaders.
After you register, they will also send you email alerts on critical
issues. With one click of a button you can either send their
suggested faxes or edit them yourself (and they will still send them
for you.) Faxes have been found to be much more effective than simply
sending emails or signing petitions. You are always free not to
participate in any specific issue or remove your name from the list.
Priorities Inc. is comprised of
the following 4 entities:
1) Military Advisory
Committee - A dozen distinguished military analysts and experts on
the subject of excess Pentagon spending.
2) Business Leaders for
Sensible Priorities - a group of 500
corporate leaders including the current or former Chairpersons or
CEOs of many large companies
3) Religious Leaders for
Sensible Priorities - leading religious
leaders of denominations representing 30 million Americans, including
the Presbyterians, Methodists, Jews, Buddhists, National Baptists,
and American Muslims
4) Entertainers for
Sensible Priorities - world-renowned leaders from
the creative community, including Paul Newman, Ted Turner, and
others.
