Jobs Matter More
July 09, 2010
This full-page ad will run in Sunday's Plain Dealer.
This weekend AFSCME is running a $175,000 ad campaign calling on Republican Sens. Scott Brown, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and George Voinovich to stop the obstruction and pass the jobs bill.
The ads, entitled “Jobs Matter More,” send the message that while the national deficit matters, protecting and creating jobs must be the nation’s first priority.
AFSCME Pres. Gerald W. McEntee explains:
"It’s not complicated, but Republican senators don’t seem to understand: More jobs now mean less debt later. Without help now, there will be devastating cuts to vital public services and major job losses in both the public and private sectors.
"The GOP filibuster of the jobs bill means more pain for working families, more debt and a prolonged recession. We’re telling senators that it’s time to stop the obstruction. It’s time to pass the jobs bill!" Read the press release for more details.
