From Barefoot and Progressive:
A month after President Obama’s Jobs speech and his somewhat tepid expression of support, Democratic Congressman Ben Chandler today released this press release — a refreshing (and Awesome!) development:“The American people’s top priority is job creation, and strengthening small businesses, rebuilding America and putting people back to work is a crucial part of growing our economy,” Congressman Chandler said. “This legislation is paid for in full and includes elements – the payroll tax credit, rebuilding our schools, a focus on improving infrastructure, and long-term deficit reduction – which I think both sides of the aisle can agree will get our country on the path to economic recovery. There is no time to waste: Congress must act now to create jobs, strengthen our middle class, and expand our economy.”
With even spineless repug-lites like Benny Boy coming out in favor of President Obama's jobs bill, the only obstacle is, as usual, congressional repugs.
And there's only one way to move them.
Zandar:
Until they're convinced that they will be punished more for not supporting the jobs bill, I doubt they will budge an inch. You can give Republicans where you live a Twitter nudge with the Tweet For Jobs page on the Obama '12 site.
Unless you think doing nothing about the jobs situation in this country is okay, that is.
Remember: If you don't ask, you don't get. The squeaky wheel gets the greese. Do it for your grandmother - Tweet For Jobs.
