Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit AFT e-Activist Network.

The short explanation of this alert was:

When President-elect Barack Obama takes office, his administration will inherit a struggling economy in need of immediate attention.  The increasing depth and projected duration of the economic crisis point to the need for bold and significant action that will jump-start the economy expand employment and lay the foundation for recovery. President-elect Obama and Congress are putting together a stimulus plan—perhaps as large as $850 billion—to invigorate and stabilize the economy.

At this critical time, it is important that you reach out to your representative and senators and urge them to pass a stimulus package that can be signed into law soon after President-elect Obama takes office on Jan 20. Time is of the essence!
