What YOU in California Can Do To Help the Democrats Take Back Congress

Chris Bowers over at MyDD.com has joined with MoveOn.org to issue a Call to Action to the Netroots: Use It Or lose It! As many polls and political pundits indicate that Democrats are poised to win majorities in next month's midterm congressional elections, California Democratic congressmembers are sitting on rather large amounts of cash on hand whch would be better served helping Democrats in Republican leaning districts.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP THE DEMOCRATS TAKE BACK CONGRESS!
Call safe Democratic Representatives in your state and ask them to give 30% of their campaign funds to Democratic challengers and / or party committees!

Tips for good calls
1. Be Polite
2. Be prepared for pushback
3. Tell them that this is an extraordinary situation because so many Republican seats are in play
4. Tell them that other Democrats have given more than 30%
5. Give them a way to contact you when they decide how much to pledge
6. Call the following Los Angeles area Democrats

Name (district)      Opponent        Campaign Number   DC Office   
Howard Berman (CA-28) Token Republican 818-366-4293 202-225-4695

I have already made my calls. You can do it, too!

If anyone can get a better number for Solis and Napolitano, please post it in the comments. Thousands of people all over the country are making these calls. The staffers I spoke with in Schiff and Becerra's office seemed impressed by the activity.
