As you may know, a large number of leading progressive organizations and
unions are launching the Jobs and Economic Recovery Now campaign on a
press conference call at 10:30 A.M. tomorrow.  The purpose of the
campaign to is to support and pass the emerging Obama and Congressional
Leadership plan for jobs and economic recovery the broad outlines of
which are expected to include investments in health care, energy
efficiency, transportation and other vital infrastructure and schools to
create jobs, boost the middle class and improve the economy in the near
and long term.

In addition to the national launch tomorrow, nearly 40 events are taking
place around the country calling on members of Congress to support the
Obama plan.  The purpose of the campaign first and foremost is to pass
the plan in Congress early next year and have it ready for President
Obama to sign after his swearing in.  The strategic importance of the
campaign in our view for the President Elect, the Congressional Majority
and the progressive movement is to pass the Jobs and Economic Recovery
plan by large bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate so as to
gain political capital for future fights like health care reform rather
than spend it on a problem created under the leadership of President
Bush.

A press release will be going out tomorrow after the national call
detailing the campaign and who has signed on to it.  Signing on does not
commit you or your organization to anything in particular but simply
allows your voice to be counted in favor of a bold jobs and economic
recovery plan to improve the economy in the near and long term.  Please
email me by close of business today and let me know if your organization
wants to be listed as a member of the Jobs and Economic Recovery Now
campaign.  Email me even if you think I should already be aware of your
interest.
