Foreclosure King Voted to Run Our Economy as Treasury Secretary

The Senate just voted to confirm a former Goldman Sachs banker known as the "Foreclosure King" to run our economy as Treasury Secretary.

Every Democrat except one voted no on Trump's nominee Steve Mnuchin -- an important show of unity against Wall Street and Trump. This should be rewarded.

Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala D. Harris voted no on Steve Mnuchin. Can you call them to say thank you for opposing Wall Street in this key vote?

YES -- I'll call Sens. Feinstein and Harris to say thanks for opposing Wall Street banker Steve Mnuchin -- and to say keep it up! Show me the number and a script.

NO -- But I'll chip in $3 to run TV ads holding accountable the most vulnerable 2018 Senate Republican (Dean Heller from Nevada, a state with massive foreclosures) for voting with Wall Street against his constituents.

The one Democrat to vote yes was West Virginia's Joe Manchin. Right now, PCCC members in his state are calling him to express extreme disappointment.

Weeks ago, tonight's show of Democratic strength against Wall Street was not expected.

The PCCC was the first group to run TV ads in key Democratic Senate states calling on senators to oppose Mnuchin. Every Democrat in these states voted no on Mnuchin! (Thank you to thousands of PCCC members who helped put these ads on the air.)

We also aired TV ads in key Republican states. They all voted with Wall Street against their constituents.

It's important we hold them accountable -- so please chip in $3 to our TV ad making clear that vulnerable Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nevada) voted against his constituents.

And it's also important that Democratic senators see that their constituents approve when they oppose Wall Street -- so please thank Sens. Feinstein and Harris today. Click here to make a quick call.

Thanks for making your voice heard, and being a bold progressive.

[SDCPJ] Fwd: Gentle reminder about important Board of Supervisors meeting this Wednesday on CREP for San Diego County

Subject: Gentle reminder about important BOS meeting this Wednesday on CREP for San Diego County

Dear friends, below is what I sent off to the Board of Supervisors. Please take a sec (if you have already, thank you!) and send your own quick email encouraging them to support clean energy before they vote this Wednesday. I did not send the attachment however. That is for you and has a little more info it. To make it easier I sent my email to one of them and "CC" (not Blind CC) the others. Here is their contact information. Thanks!

To the Board of Supervisors,

This Wednesday, February 15, 2017 please vote to implement the Comprehensive Renewable Energy Plan for San Diego County. A major component of this plan is Community Choice Energy. Please vote in favor of conducting a feasibility study of CCE.  Better yet, if possible vote outright to support implementing Community Choice Energy in San Diego County.

It is imperative that steps are taken as soon as possible to lessen the worse impacts of climate change and to protect air and water quality. Transitioning to cleaner energy will greatly help with these issues and will have a positive financial impact on local economies as well. http://www.fosterra.com/news/cca-study-projects-1-billion-economic-boost/.    

In appreciation for all that you do,
