Scuba,

There are two places where the action is for progressives right now: Occupy Wall Street and its associated protests around the country, and the congressional super committee that's set to determine the future of America.

Lately, the grassroots-driven Occupy Wall Street protests have really shaken up the conversation in America -- to the point that even the ultra right-wing majority leader of the House is holding a speech on income inequality this week.

But the decisions are being made in the super committee.

As members of Progressives United -- and with our friends at Democracy for America -- we need to make sure the outsider energy driving the protests reaches the inside decision-makers on the super committee.

Submit an instant comment to members of the super committee today -- tell them to make the rich on Wall Street pay their fair share.

In case you're wondering whether progressives' voices are having an impact on the super committee, consider this:

On Tuesday, Politico reported that the committee has received 175,000 public comments. Of those, more than 83,000 are from progressives who used our instant comment submission tool.

This is getting big.

And with the committee scheduled to give its recommendations next month, we don't have much time.

Help bring the energy of the Occupy Wall Street protests into the super committee -- act now.

For what feels like the first time in a long time, we progressives have the wind at our backs. We have to make our voices heard now.

Thanks for uniting as a progressive,

Cole Leystra
Executive Director
