Sen. Lieberman: Support Obama's Job Bill
We urge Senator Lieberman to pass President Obama's "American Jobs Act" and additional legislation to extend benefits for the unemployed, provide aid to cities and states to reverse layoffs, and create jobs to rebuild infrastructure and improve social services, targeted to communities most in need.
Why is this important?
The "American Jobs Act" is coming up for vote in the Senate on Tuesday, October 13. Implementing this bill could create 5,300 jobs, reverse 3,800 local layoffs of teachers & first responders, and provide $38,000,000 in funding in the next fiscal year for community colleges. All of these benefits are what Connecticut needs now.
