Dear Barrett,
What is the State of the Union? Unemployed!
14.5 million Americans are officially unemployed. Millions more have given up looking.
Yet the Tea Party Republican Congress wants to slash jobs to give bigger tax cuts to the rich.
Tell Congress: Create Jobs Now!

In December, Republicans demanded - and won - an extension of Bush's tax cuts for the rich costing $858 billion over two years.
Amazingly, that same $858 billion could create jobs for all 14.5 million unemployed Americans paying nearly $30,000 per year!

We're launching the brand new Job Party to create a movement for 15 million jobs. Here's our plan:
1. A video contest to convince Congress to Create Jobs Now. Watch some great videos here. Vote on videos made by activists like you. If you can, make your own video urging Congress to create jobs now.
2. An Emergency Jobs Bill to create 15 million jobs right now. Read ideas from activists like you. Propose your own ideas. Suggest thinkers we should contact.
In the weeks ahead, you'll hear more about the Job Party. We're reaching out to progressive leaders and allies to build a grassroots movement that's far more powerful than the Tea Party.
In 2011, we'll lobby for our Emergency Jobs Bill. If Congress refuses to act, we'll recruit Job Party candidates to run against them (on existing ballot lines) in 2012.
