LIUNA Action Alert: Urgent Action Needed Immediately: Jobs Depend on It

Right now the U.S. Senate is considering an amendment to the economic recovery plan that
would invest more resources to build America, creating an additional 655,000 badly needed transportation jobs. Please send a message to your Senator now, telling them to support the Feinstein-Murray amendment to the economic recovery plan.

Click here to send a mesage to Congress now!

Congress is considering a massive, $800 billion-plus economic recovery plan. With a 15.3-percent unemployment rate among the men and women who build America - equating to 1.4 million construction workers who are jobless – the investment is urgent.

Senators Murray and Feinstein have proposed an amendment to include an additional $25 billion investment for roads and transit.

Tell your Senator now to invest more resources in building our transportation systems and our roads by amending the economic recovery plan.

It's a no-brainer. We can put America back to work and leave behind real assets for future generations by taking care of the essential and long neglected basics of our country - our roads, bridges, schoolhouses, and transit and energy systems.

Tell your Senator now to invest more in build America jobs, by passing the Murray-Feinstein Amendment.

The jobs of hundreds of thousands of Americans depend on us. Send a message to build America so America works!

Sincerely,

LIUNA Action Network
