Pass the Jobs Bill: Reclaim the American Dream

AFSCME today unveiled a television ad demanding Congress pass President Barack Obama’s American Jobs Act.

“The voice of the working middle class has been under attack for decades, but from Madison to Manhattan, people are standing up and fighting back to reclaim the American dream,” said AFSCME Pres. Gerald W. McEntee. “Washington can help them by passing the American Jobs Act now.”

In announcing the “Podium” ad, Paula Schnelly, an AFSCME member from Swoyersville, Penn., discussed how her community was hard hit by joblessness and the feelings of hopelessness that come with it.

“Podium” will begin airing today in states across the country. A separate radio advertisement will also run in select states. The ad centers on giving the middle class a podium where they can be heard. Airing in congressional districts across the country, the ad urges residents to call their members of Congress and tell them to pass the American Jobs Act.
