July 30, 2010 Subject: Dear Representative/Senator: I am writing out of deep concern that the federal government must do more to create jobs or else millions of unemployed and low-income Americans will remain mired in this deep recession. Please support job creation measures that help low-income people to get jobs now and prepare for permanent employment, and prevent harsh cutbacks in state and local government jobs that will jeopardize the beginnings of the economic recovery. I believe federal action can put people to work while ensuring that vital community needs are met. I hope you will exercise your leadership to create and save jobs that provide health care, education, care for young and old alike, and employment and nutrition assistance. These jobs can rebuild schools, housing, roads, and communities. Please save jobs providing these and more services by increasing aid to state and local governments that have already laid off more than 100,000 workers nationwide and reduced services because of huge budget gaps. Please also support direct public hiring plans targeted to help low-income and vulnerable workers. A smart jobs package should include training to help workers move into permanent jobs with good pay and benefits. And it must include strong protections to prevent displacing existing workers or positions. In our state, the need for jobs is urgent. Youth, communities of color, people with disabilities, single mothers and residents of urban or rural communities with high concentrations of poverty have been especially hard hit. Please support a jobs program that includes these groups so we can build a sustained, shared recovery. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
