Urge Voinovich to vote YES on economic stimulus bill to protect Ohio jobs, public services
Jan. 29, 2009 (updated Feb. 9, 2009) - Can you take a few minutes right now to fax a hand-written note to Sen. George Voinovich and urge him to support President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment plan?
This economic stimulus plan includes badly needed aid for state and local governments.
The Senate is about to vote on this vital plan to stop the cut backs.
Write to Sen. George Voinovich today and ask him to help you protect Ohio jobs and public services. The senator is one of nine who are holding out.
Here's what's at stake.
- Our nation is in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression – and OCSEA / AFSCME Local 11 members are seeing the damage first hand.
- With Ohio facing a $7.3 billion budget hole over the next biennium, Gov. Ted Strickland has already warned that this could mean a 25 percent cut in state operations.
- State budget cuts mean job and service cut backs at a time when Ohio citizens need them most. But you can do something about it.
