Pass the American Jobs Act
America faces a jobs crisis, the worst we’ve seen in generations. Unfortunately, some politicians in Washington would rather let millions of Americans go without jobs than to reach across the aisle and vote for President Obama’s American Jobs Act.
Your senators could be voting on the American Jobs Act as early as tonight. With millions of Americans unemployed or underemployed, it’s critical that our elected officials stop playing partisan games and pass this bill.
Why You and Your Senators Should Support the American Jobs Act:
- It will create nearly 2 million jobs and prevent 280,000 teachers from losing their jobs. (Moody’s Analytics, 9/9/11; Executive Office of the President, 10/4/11)
- It makes immediate investments in rebuilding and upgrading America’s highways, transit, rail, airports, bridges, ports, schools and communications and energy infrastructure. (The Center for American Progress, 9/22/11)
- It prevents 5 million Americans from losing their unemployment benefits. (The White House, 9/9/11)
- To make sure the wealthy contribute their fair share to fixing our economy, the American Jobs Act is paid for by a 5.6 percent surtax on millionaires. (S. 1660, introduced 10/5/11)
