American Jobs Act Tool Kit
Standing Up and Fight for The American Jobs Act
On Sept. 8, 2011, President Obama annouced the first real plan to get our nation back to work and our economy back on track. The "American Jobs Act" would help get laid-off teachers, firefighters, police officers, Steelworkers and so many others back on the job. It would rebuild our roads, schools, rail, energy, communications, transit and other systems.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn good. And we can't afford not to push for its passage. Check out the president's speech below then visit this page for fact sheets, slides and other information about the plan. Pass on the info. And check back here often for updates.
