Investing in America -- More Patriotic than Political Posturing

July 03, 2008

What kind of America do you want to live in? One that does what's needed to keep working families and our communities safe and strong? Or one that sits by while its citizens struggle to cope with high gas prices, rising food costs and cuts to public services and jobs? If you're like most, you want an America and an economy that work for everyone. That's why we are calling on our elected leaders to strengthen America by investing in the important services that AFSCME members provide and everyone in our country relies on, including health care, education, public safety and infrastructure. This 4th of July we can do more than celebrate -- we can take action to get our country back on track. Sign the AFSCME petition today. AFSCME's 1.4 million members are on the frontlines of our country's economic crisis and it's up to us to speak out. Every day we take responsibility for our families' –– and our communities' –– safety and needs. Today, I hope you'll take that responsibility one step further and sign our petition urging Congress and the President to put America's economy back on track by creating jobs and strengthening the economy.
