Support Jobs Now

DFL urges support for American Jobs Act to create jobs, help middle-class families and small businesses now and into the future

ST. PAUL (October 11, 2011) — With the United States Senate set to vote on the American Jobs Act this evening, DFL Chair Ken Martin released this statement:

"Today's vote on the American Jobs Act is an important step forward and the perfect opportunity for all who say they want to create jobs to prove it and support this bill to create jobs now and jobs for the future. Republicans don't have a plan of their own that would create jobs now. President Obama does.

"The American Jobs Act will help middle-class families get ahead, keep teachers in the classroom and police and firefighters on our streets, and it will put construction workers on the job rebuilding Minnesota's crumbling schools, bridges, and roads. It's time for Republicans in Washington and the GOP presidential candidates to support this important legislation that will put more money back into the pockets of middle-class families and small businesses.

"The American people have sent a message to Washington: it's time for Congress to vote for what's best for the country, not their political party. The Senate should pass this important legislation and the Republican-led House of Representatives should finally hold a vote on the American Jobs Act. For Americans looking for work, for teachers who want to stay in their classroom, and for police and firefighters who want to protect their communities, there is no time for delay."
