Pass the President's Jobs Plan AND Keep Going

 

We need jobs, not cuts Tell Congress to get to work getting America back to work.

Wow! What a week!

First, a victory in our campaign to end hiring discrimination against the unemployed! This week, Indeed.com, the largest job listing website in the U.S., announced it will stop posting job ads that refuse applications from unemployed candidates.

Then, last night, President Obama laid out an aggressive agenda to put millions of Americans back to work by investing in programs that USAction/TrueMajority members have been demanding -- investing in infrastructure, rebuilding schools, extending unemployment benefits and prohibiting discrimination against unemployed workers.

President Obama's American Jobs Act is a ray of hope for millions of struggling Americans, especially in opposition to the job-killing, cuts-only approach of the right wing.

Congress should quickly pass these provisions and then it should keep going and pass a robust public job creation plan.

NOW is the time for Congress to act. Please tell Congress to put America back to work.

Congress has a choice and that choice is clear, Congress can either support the American Jobs Act that creates jobs and helps restore prosperity, or they can sit on their hands and do nothing.

Join us in telling Congress to put America back to work:

Pass the President's American Jobs Act and keep going, by passing legislation to put Americans directly to work in WPA-style jobs programs all over the country.
