We worked hard supporting, campaigning, and electing President Barack Obama. Now the real work begins to ensure that our president is given every opportunity and the cooperation he needs to improve our lives. So I’m asking you to contact your senators and Congress people by email, letter, or telephone and support his stimulus plan. Let’s tell the Republicans that we will not accept $500 and a pat on our heads instead of jobs.

Dear Republican Senator ___________ and Congressperson _________,

The stimulus package needs to be approved, period. How much longer will we be allowed to suffer through the political noise? People are losing their homes, have little or no food, food banks cannot meet the food demand, jobs and good paying jobs are few, and the Republicans want us to believe that large tax credits are the answer.

Sure, tax credits sound good, but once the money is spent, then what? How do we sustain our economy each day, each month, or each year? The proposed $500.00 per individual and $1,000.00 per couple is not enough money to offset a regular paying job. How will this one time purchase or one month of payments, sustain our jobs and economy, and move us forward?

If I have a choice between a tax credit and a job, I choose a job.

History has been documented, researched and proven that providing jjobs is the obvious answer to stimulate the economy and our country. Building and repairing roads and bridges create jobs and build the economy. Franklin D. Roosevelt rebuilt America’s infrastructure and pulled America out of the Depression.

The 2007 Bush stimulus didn’t win any brownie points or elections for the Republicans. Paid to taxpayers in May 2008, this tax credit did not create jobs or stop or slow down the recent economic crash. We are experiencing the living proof that Bush’s last tax credit/stimulus failed.

So let’s try rebuilding and repairing the infrastructure. Let us ensure that we can use our bridges and highways safely to go to work, home, and live our lives. Yes, it is risky. Anything we try will be risky because the cost will be high; but we cannot afford to do things that have already failed in the past and we must spend enough to begin to correct our failing finances.

So let’s not have politics as usual. Let’s realize that government needs to help Main Street by creating jobs. Also remember that the majority of America has already voted for Barack Hussein Obama and HIS economic plan and no amount of insulting “Barack, the Magic Negro” songs will change that. The Republican financial plan of tax credits and paying for mortgages was soundly defeated in November 2008. We are not interested in it now. $500.00-$1,000.00 and a pat on our heads won’t work to restore voter favor.

Please do the right thing and vote for Obama’s stimulus plan as-is.
