The Redstate folks are encouraging folks to call Democratic members of Congress
To slow down the budget approval process, they are targeting 5 congressmen. Should we run a counter campaign?

We need to get the Blue Dog Democrats to slow down budget approval in the House of Representatives. The vote in committee is tonight.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

PICK UP THE PHONE.

CALL 202-224-3121.

Ask for one of these five Congressmen:

1. Alan Boyd of Florida

2. Bob Etheridge of North Carolina

3. Charlie Melancon of Louisiana

4. Chet Edwards of Texas

5. John Yarmuth of Kentucky

Tell them to vote no on the budget tonight. We can stop the budget if you will pick up your phone right now. The vote is tonight. See Paul Ryan in this video clip point out that Obama’s budget runs afoul of even European socialist rules:

2. I really hope the Democrats
can come together on a budget for Obama to sign.

Obama needs to be successful and the Democrats need to get on board. The Blue Dogs need to understand that if they stand in the way of Obama being successful they may be looking at having to deal with a Republican President in 2012.

I know this is still early in the process but I do hope that at the end of this they can agree to not be obstructionists.
