Next New Deal For Main Street

Wall Street has actually convinced a lot of us that what's good for the Dow Jones Average is good for us real people. But for eight years while bankers raked in billions, ordinary Americans have seen their real wages drop, jobs sent overseas, health insurance rates skyrocket, and now thousands are losing their homes.

We need our government to actively work for US in fixing this mess, so let's tell Congress it's time to start over and pass a New Deal for Main Street.

Million Doors for Peace

Thanks to the thousands of you who participated in the Million Doors for Peace weekend! Reports are still flooding in, but here's a typical one: "Thanks for organizing this event and giving me the opportunity to participate! I enjoyed the experience (and) I appreciate the simplicity and organization of the event. Thanks for your hard work!"

This video from our partners at Connecticut Opposes the War gives the flavor of the day. If you weren't able to join us this time, be sure to sign the petition online, below:

Senator Feingold Says Thank You

Thank you for all your work to stop the Democrats from caving in on telecom immunity. Last week, we won yet another improbable victory. Members like you sent over 29,000 emails and made over 15,000 calls to your Senators opposing immunity for phone companies that spied on Americans.

Senator Feingold has recorded a special thank you message to TrueMajority members for all your work.

Send a message to your Senator in support of Senator Feingold's efforts to strip telecom immunity from the final FISA legislation.

Victory in Florida

We won! You signed our petition calling on Burger King to pay workers just one penny more per pound of tomatoes and our partners at the Coalition of Immokalee Workers delivered over 80,000 petitions directly to Burger King Headquarters in Miami. Now, together with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, we've won a huge victory for workers in the tomato fields of Florida -- and we showed the power of a grassroots effort in winning benefits for workers.

Take a look at the New York Times story about our victory: Burger King Grants Raise to Pickers

We will continue to follow this issue as the workers continue to expand their victory. Thanks again for all you did to make this victory a reality!

And here's a photo of Lucas Benitez, left, of the CIW and Amy Wagner, Senior Vice President for Global Communications of Burger King, signing the agreement to work together to improve farmworker wages, and working conditions, while Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) looks on.
