Campaign for Jobs and Economic Recovery Now Update
On December 18, the Campaign for Jobs and Economic Recovery
Planning Committee held a Press Conference to kick off the local
campaign. The response was overwhelming - over 40 people,
from 18 different organizations turned out on short notice to
call on Congress to pass the Economic Recovery Package!
Read Coverage of Thursday's Kickoff in the St Louis Post
Dispatch article "St.
Louis officals say numerous projects could benefit from a
federal public works project."
The Proposed Economic Recovery Plan
This campaign is part of a national effort urging Members of
Congress, including U.S. Sen. Bond and Congresswoman Emerson, to
support this plan to create millions of jobs now through
smart public investments that will also ensure a stronger future
for the American economy.
Addressing the worst economic crisis the nation has seen
since the Great Depression, President-Elect Obama, during his December
6th radio address, outlined priorities to be included in his
economic recovery plan, including the single largest investment
in U.S. national infrastructure since the creation of the
federal highway system in the 1950s, as well as massive
investments towards making public buildings more
energy-efficient, upgrading and modernizing schools buildings,
and modernizing our health care system - investments that
will help create at least two and a half million
jobs. The plan is said to include careful, targeted
spending with strong "use it or lose it" accountability
measures.
Join us as we fight for an economic
recovery plan that will lay the ground work for sustainable
growth. Contact Aaron Burnett by calling 314-644-0466, or
reply to this email to join the
campaign! |
