R.Hunter,

I know we can solve our jobs crisis. There are concrete, proven steps we can take to get Americans back to work, as I laid out in the six-point jobs plan I shared with you last week.

The challenge is convincing my colleagues to put partisanship aside and support these common-sense measures. That's where you come in.

Since I unveiled my Blueprint for American Jobs last week, thousands of concerned Americans have signed on as citizen co-sponsors. But I need your help, too, so that we can demonstrate the widespread support for a balanced, bipartisan plan.

Tonight, President Obama will join us in the call for urgent action on jobs in a speech before a joint session of Congress.

I am eager to hear the details of the president's plan, and I hope he uses this high-stakes opportunity to advocate for the sorts of common-sense policies that we believe in, too.

Thank you for showing Congress and the president where we stand. Your support will help me make the case to my colleagues over the next few weeks about the best path forward for solving this crisis and getting our neighbors back to work.

Sincerely,

Chris

R.Hunter,

There's no doubt about it: America is facing a jobs crisis.

Unfortunately, in the nearly ten months I've been in the Senate, legislation that would help put the middle class back to work has repeatedly fallen victim to partisan politics.

Enough is enough. It's time to set partisanship aside and help millions of Americans get back to work.

Today I'm rolling out my six-point plan to address America's jobs crisis -- and I hope you'll endorse it.

I spent much of August talking with Delaware's business owners and working families about solving the crisis, and reading through ideas shared by supporters like you.

These discussions have been enormously productive, and I've taken the best ideas and incorporated them into my Blueprint for American Jobs.

In short, my plan calls for:

 * Investing in critical infrastructure projects;
 * Reforming our tax code and stabilizing our nation's debt;
 * Offering greater support for America's small businesses;
 * Developing and protecting the next generation of American technology and ingenuity;
 * Strengthening America's global trade position; and
 * Investing in an educated workforce.

After reading the many ideas submitted online, I know we already have strong support for these proposals.

Now will you help me convince my colleagues in Congress by backing my common-sense jobs plan?

I hope my congressional colleagues will come together over the coming weeks so that we can finally enact legislation to stabilize our neighborhoods, support our families, encourage America's recovery, and set our country on a path to long-term economic strength.

Thank you for your help in getting us there.

Sincerely,

Chris Coons
U.S. Senator
