KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE
August 19, 2011
Dear Friends,
Our country is currently facing tough economic challenges. Many Americans are hurting badly. Many have been unemployed for too long. Putting them back to work and growing wages for everyone has to be our top priority. That’s why President Obama this week has outlined a series of things that can be done to put more money in the pockets of American workers -- common sense steps to spur economic growth, like extending the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance. We still have a long way to go to get to where we need to be. But if we can come together and find common ground, there’s no stopping this country. I will keep fighting to ensure that the American Dream is alive for all of us. Please have a safe summer.
