Action Alert: Help the Senate kick-start the economy

Any stimulus plan should help those who need it most

Dear Stephen,

Tell your Senators to support an economic stimulus plan that helps the people who need it most.

Wanna kick-start the economy? Here's an idea: get money into the hands of the people who need it the most and will spend it quickly. Which is what economists tell us will work.1

That means doing things like extending unemployment insurance benefits and boosting food stamp benefits. It also means providing temporary fiscal assistance to states so that they can avoid cuts in aid to local governments and preserve critical services for millions of low and middle-income families. The Senate currently has a chance to make all of these things a reality when they vote on the economic stimulus plan next week. It's not just the smart thing to do, it's the right thing.

We have a chance to get this right and help millions of Americans. This is about our priorities. A smart stimulus package could make the difference for many of this country's most vulnerable people. But it's up to the Senate. Make sure your Senators hear your voice before they vote.

We can't afford to get this wrong,
