Last chance to take action on economic recovery
The U.S. Senate just passed their version of the economic recovery plan by a vote of 61-37.
We need a plan to fix our economy – now – and this vote is an important step forward. Unfortunately, the Senate bill is a mixed bag. It cuts funding from state education and health care programs, and would save or create 500,000 fewer jobs than the House bill.
A timid plan isn't what we need – the latest news is that we lost nearly 600,000 jobs in January, the worst month in 35 years. What we need is the boldest action possible to create the most jobs and get Americans back to work right now.
We have one last chance to make it happen. Starting today, leaders from the House and Senate are meeting to merge their two bills and create a final version - then they'll vote on that bill, possibly as early as Thursday.

Will you contact your representatives and urge them to support a bold economic recovery plan that creates the most jobs possible?
Last week, we heard from the Hill that phone calls and emails – including yours - helped stave off even bigger cuts to the jobs bill. You made a big difference – and now we have one last chance to make sure Congress hears from us.
Contact your representatives today!

"Rock the Vote.." What a biased organization.. Good bye.
Not that this will ever be seen on your blog, because you'll moderate it out of existence, but RockTheVote is making a mockery of the voting system by encouraging voters to vote with liberal hype and extremely biased mailers that do not represent the voting public as a whole.
Shame on you, RockTheVote.
This bill will create work, not jobs. This will just prolong our current situation not better it. As we stray further and further away from what our country was founded I cringe.
By the way how are they going to pay this back? Either massive taxes or massive printing of bills. Either way we will all have less money. I hope we young people are ready to shoulder the massive burden of these bailouts in addition to the already staggering social security problem.
