Protecting the Jobs of Those Who Protect Us 

Last week, Vice President Biden was in Flint, Michigan to talk with fire fighters and police officers [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/10/19/first-responders-say-american-jobs-act-will-allow-us-respond-safely-and-more-effecti?utm_source=101911&utm_medium=photo&utm_campaign=daily ] about the American Jobs Act. Right now, local communities across the country are laying off first responders because of budget cuts. It’s putting public safety at risk. That's why the American Jobs Act [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/jobsact?utm_source=101911&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] calls for $5 billion for local governments to keep police and fire fighters on the job.

This afternoon, President Obama will talk to fire fighters at Fire Station 9 in North Chesterfield, Virginia about the American Jobs Act and how it will restore police departments and fire departments to their full strength.

Hear what first responders have to say about the American Jobs Act: [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/10/19/first-responders-say-american-jobs-act-will-allow-us-respond-safely-and-more-effecti?utm_source=101911&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ]
