Congress on State Jobs Bill !

Call Your Rep. Now on State Jobs Bill
by Tula Connell, Aug 9, 2010

The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted for a bill giving essential aid to state and local governments that would save or create nearly a million jobs for teachers, public employees, police officers, firefighters and others. The measure is fully paid for, in part because it closes tax loopholes for multi-national corporations that send U.S. jobs overseas. The House will vote on the bill tomorrow TODAY. Speaker Nancy Pelosi called representatives back from their August recess to vote because of the importance of this bill to America’s workers. Please take a moment right now to urge your representative to vote for state aid and teacher funding to save these essential jobs. Call 877-442-6801.
Tell your representative to vote for the bill, which provides $16 billion for a Medicaid funding assistance program known as FMAP and $10 billion for teachers’ jobs. Without such funding, the states facing huge budget shortfalls will be forced to begin massive layoffs that could cost hundreds of thousands of workers their jobs and endanger important public services.
