Delaware ACORN's Darlene Battle Writes: Town Hall Meeting

‘Jobs and Economic Recovery Now!’

Together lets tell our Congressional members to Support the Obama Jobs and Economic Recovery Plan

SPECIAL GUEST GOV. ELECT JACK MARKELL

Delaware – Amid a worsening economic crisis that has left nearly 2 million Americans without jobs and over 2.5 million more without homes this year, State Representatives, Advocacy Groups, Community Leaders will participate in a Town Hall meeting call on January 7^th at 6:00PM urging Congress to stand up for struggling out-of-work Delaware families by supporting the jobs and economic recovery package being proposed by President-Elect Barack Obama and Congressional Leaders.

One week before the new 111th Congress in sworn into office, the Campaign for Jobs and Economic Recovery will discuss why their very first act in Congress should be casting a key vote to pass the Obama jobs and economic recovery plan which will create millions of jobs through smart public investments that will also ensure a stronger American economy down the road.

Addressing the worst economic crisis the nation has seen since the Great Depression, President-Elect Obama, during his December 6th radio address, outlined a plan that will create or save at least three million jobs in 2 years by making sound long-term investments in energy conservation, renewable energy technologies, schools, healthcare and transportation, including the single largest investment in U.S. national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s. The plan includes careful, targeted spending with strong “use it or lose it” accountability measures. Following 8 years of misguided economic policies that gave priority to tax breaks for multimillionaires and big corporations; the Obama plan will get America’s disappearing middle-class working again.

WHO: Governor Elect Jack Markell, State Representatives John Kowalko, The Jobs and Economic Recovery Coalition in Delaware is comprised of AFL-CIO, ACORN, DESA, AFSMCE, APRI, Teamsters, Local 32BJ, UAW, SIERRA Club, SEIU, CBTU, UFCW, MoveOn, CTAC, and of others.
