Act Now to Support a Real Jobs Bill

Washington, DC, United States
Created April 6, 2010

The Issue

U.S. Congressman George Miller has introduced a bill that would make a real dent in our extraordinarily high unemployment rate. It would also preserve essential local government services like education, public safety, child care and building and road maintenance.

The Local Jobs for America Act would save or create at least 1 million jobs within the next two years--many of them in communities with above-average poverty and unemployment rates. It's the right investment at a critical time.

The bill needs more cosponsors to stand a fighting chance of passing in the House. So ask your Representative to sign on and strongly support the Local Jobs for America Act.
