So, THIS is what they do with my supposed "Union Dues"! Well, they've got the wrooooong Hobbit. . . . . . . . . .
Dear Nanci,
It's appalling.
Millions of families are out of work – or face that threat like never before. However, middle-class jobs are held hostage by Republican leaders – who blocked President Obama's “American Jobs Act” last week. It's simply appalling – I can't think of a better word.
And that's why I need you to stop what you're doing right now and call your senators: Click here to be connected. Since they said no to the whole bill, President Obama and Democratic leaders are going to put it up for a vote one piece at a time. This week's vote is on a proposal to send $35 billion in aid to states and communities to rehire teachers, firefighters and police. They need to hear from people like you who are on the frontlines of this crisis.
It's a small first step towards getting our country out of the worst jobs crisis since the Great Depression, and it completely pays for itself with a small tax on millionaires – something that an overwhelming majority of Americans support.
At a time when millions of middle class families can't find a job – or face losing theirs – it's time for the Senate to stop playing politics with people's lives and get America back to work. Please pick up the phone and call your senators right now.
Thanks for everything you’ve done and will continue to do to help fight for the middle class. I'll be sure to keep you updated with what's next.
In solidarity,
Chuck Loveless
