February 3, 2011

The 112th Congress has a lot on its plate and at least one advocacy organization wants to help them keep track of it all. This week, MomsRising.org delivered to-do notepads to each Member of Congress that will help them keep their tasks (and priorities!) in order. The small, blue notepads feature a welcome message wishing Congress a “MOMumental” year. They were delivered with a letter thanking them for their service to our nation and its families.
 
MomsRising, an online and on-the-ground grassroots organization for moms and everyone who has a mom, asked their more than one million members to leave personal welcome messages, thanks, and hopes for the 112th Congress online which were delivered to members of Congress along with the notepads. The digital notepad can be found here.
