Today's jobs report was worse than expected: 20,000 people lost their jobs every day in January!1
We're in crisis, and we need life support. President Obama's stimulus is really that urgent. But Washington is fiddling with partisan games instead of taking action.
Yesterday, conservative Democrats and Republicans delayed the Senate vote on the stimulus again. And now they're trying to gut the very job-creating investments we need—$100 billion cuts in education, energy efficiency, and help for struggling states!2
Senator Thomas Carper is one of the most influential senators in the current negotiation.
Can you call and ask Sen. Carper to speak out AGAINST cuts to the stimulus and FOR President Obama's plan? Tell him that if anything, the stimulus should be bigger, not smaller.

This spending is what will stimulate the economy. Period. Tax cuts for corporations and the rich will not.3 We can't keep having this tired debate while our country is bleeding hundreds of jobs every hour.
What's the cost of not acting? This is what President Obama said this morning:
"If we don't do anything millions more jobs will be lost. More families will lose their homes. More Americans will go without health care. We'll continue to send our children to crumbling schools, and be crippled by our dependence on foreign oil. That is the result of the inaction, and it is not unacceptable to the American people."4
Conservative senators want to cut precisely these investments. Here's what's under the knife:5
school construction
Head Start
energy efficiency
Amtrak
aid for struggling states to prevent local service cuts
Investing in education is a place where you don't have to choose between short-term stimulus and long-term investment. School construction and Head Start create new jobs and improve the economic future of our children.
Improving energy efficiency in buildings creates new green jobs, putting laid-off construction workers back on the job. And in the long term, it helps slow the threat of climate change.

there are some unanswered questions about it...i cant belive they cant find one man ....
Double Dime, I think he answered your question right here. He is a conspiracy theorist who only knows how to pass blame, not accept responsibility for his own party's actions, and sing the same old worn out tune. I still haven't seen one person come on these forums and agree with his rhetoric. I think he does more damage for his own party than he could ever know. Just about every other day, someone new is coming on this site and asking who he is and what he's about. He will always come back with the same old answer......9/11, Iraq, no ties, where's Osama, WMD, Bush is the devil, etc., etc., etc...I find him amusing because I have always had a heart for special needs people ;D
rofl ...u are a rethug lol
I'm confused.. how can 2 million blacks get into Washington DC in sub zero temps in 1 day when 200,000 couldn't get out of New Orleans at 85 degrees with four days notice.
LOL!!! That is hilarious. What's even funnier is that there were 2 million there, but only 14 missed work.
