Tell the Senate: JOBS NOW!

 

by James Parks, Jan 28, 2010

In his State of the Union address last night, President Obama made jobs the top priority of his administration, and today you can act to let Congress know jobs are the top priority of working people, as well.

Obama praised the House for passing a jobs bill last month and urged the Senate to do the same. You can tell the Senate we need action on jobs NOW! The Campaign for America’s Future is urging everyone who needs a job or who has a friend or relative suffering in this Great Recession to send a message to their senators to follow the House’s lead and pass the jobs bill without cutting or weakening it. To send a message, click here.

The bill is just a first step toward putting America back to work. The AFL-CIO has proposed a five-point plan to create jobs immediately and ease the economic hardships on Main Street’s working families.

    Let’s not sacrifice the environment for the cause of jobs as labor has done in the past. There should be no subsidies for nuclear reactors. Invest in solar, wind, conservation, and weatherization, not poison, pollution, and radiation.

    If Congress is truly going to ‘act on jobs’ the first thing they should do is make E-Verify permanent and mandatory for EVERY employer in the country. NO EXCEPTIONS! And those employers should then be required to run the names of their current employees through the system in order to ‘weed out’ any illegals they may already have on their payrolls. There should also be a moratorium on H1-B visas and immigration. There aren’t enough available jobs for American workers. We don’t need to be ‘importing’ more workers to compete for the few jobs that are available.
