'Please Sign the Petition - "Congress must quickly pass a fair stimulus package!"

A Progressive Economy

Democratic leaders will be meeting with President Bush this week to negotiate an emergency economic stimulus package, and they're under pressure to accept the president's priorities.

Bush's proposal gives little or no help to people who make less than $40,000 a year, but those are the very folks who need help most--and who would be most likely to spend a little extra cash in their pockets to get the economy moving again.

This is a moment we could think big. We could spend on public infrastructure to create new jobs, or invest in new technology to make us more competitive and less dependent on oil in the long term. Or we could give even more Bush tax breaks to the people who need it the least.

Can you sign this petition and tell your representative to demand a progressive economic package?

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators and Representative.

Full petition text:

"Congress must quickly pass a stimulus package that helps those who need it most and will spend
it the fastest. And it should include public investments that will create jobs and move us toward
a 21st century, clean energy economy."

Signed too.

Welcome to DU too, if I haven't said it already! :hi:

and under comment I said the best stimulus package to Americans would be to start impeachment hearings on these criminals.

I can always count on you to give me a chuckle! :P

:hi:

Thanks for signing it too!

:hi:

I don't know but it's worth a shot.

Thanks! :hi:

All of us who get less then 40 thou(way less for many of us) NEVER have to pay pesky things like state tax,federal tax,real estate tax,utility taxes,gas taxes--we get our groceries and clothes for a HUGE discount. We have so muc surplus that we jetty down to the tropics every chance we get. Why would we ever need the same help that those who make 80 or 100 thou???? :sarcasm:

I hope you signed it!
