Take action!  1)  Tell President Obama:  "Give Mitt Romney HELL in the next presidential debates!" 2) "Legtimate rape" can't make you pregnant? Tell Boehner: Remove Akin from the Science Committee NOW;  3)  Tell Mitt: "Release your taxes";  4) Fight the Romney-Ryan plan to end Medicare;  1) Tell President Obama:  "Give Mitt Romney HELL in the next presidential debates!" In the first presidential debate, President Obama showed class, restraint and civility.  And Mitt Romney responded with lies, smirks, and interruptions. Mr. President, it's time to give him hell. It's a sad state of affairs when civility is a liability, and when Republican lies pass over the heads of debate moderators like gentle breezes.   But such is the state of our political system.  And with the stakes as high as they are, such is the need to fight back hard, call the lies, and take the gloves off. It's time to get tough. Send the President a message.  Tell him to give Mitt Romney hell in the next debates. --> Click here to sign this petition --> Click here to share this on Facebook --> Click here to share this on Twitter   2) "Legtimate rape" can't make you pregnant? Tell Boehner: Remove Rep Akin from the Science Committee NOW Sign your name to call on Speaker John Boehner to remove Rep. Todd Akin from the House Science and Technology Committee. Republican Congressman Akin told a Missouri news station: "First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare... If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."  It is outrageous that someone with Rep. Akin's views and appalling ignorance is on a committee devoted to overseeing science policy. This is something that John Boehner can and must change right now. The notion of "legitimate rape" is insulting. But this isn't the first time Akin went down this path. In 2011, Rep. Akin co-sponsored House bill H.R. 3 that proposed redefining rape to only cases of "forcible rape" to deny access to women's health services. Paul Ryan supported it too. Tell Speaker Boehner to immediately remove Rep. Akin from the House Science and Technology Committee. --> Click here to sign this petition --> Click here to share this on Facebook --> Click here to share this on Twitter 3) Tell Mitt: "Release your taxes"  Mitt Romney continues to refuse to release his tax returns, and the Obama campaign is hitting him hard. Please click here and support this new petition from the Obama campaign, telling Romney to stop hiding his returns.  Let's drive the numbers sky high on this.   This has Romney on the defensive, big time (and rightfully so), so keep pushing it hard, and share the heck out of this. --> Click here to sign this petition --> Click here to share this on Facebook --> Click here to share this on Twitter 4) Fight the Romney-Ryan plan to end Medicare As Budget Committee Chairman, Rep. Paul Ryan pushed a budget so radical, it would end Medicare as we know it.  Mitt Romney cheered it on, saying that his own budget plan "shares the same core principles as Ryan's impressive effort." And now Mitt Romney has raised the stakes dramatically by choosing Ryan as his running mate. Take action today, fight the Romney-Ryan plan, and stand up for Medicare. --> Click here to sign this petition --> Click here to share this on Facebook --> Click here to share this on Twitter Thanks for your support, and for fighting back!  Sincerely, John Hlinko and the Left Action team http://LeftAction.com http://Facebook.com/LeftAction http://Twitter.com/LeftAction     You have received this email because you took one of our actions, or subscribed to our email list.  If you did not subscribe, or would no longer like to receive email updates unsubscribe here.
