Fix the Real Economy--Now

Fix the Real Economy

While big corporations are getting government bailouts, America’s workers are struggling to get by. The BCTGM is joining the AFL-CIO to demand immediate congressional action. We need a new economic stimulus plan that will help fix the real economy.

Call your member of Congress today:

Today’s disastrous economic headlines have been brought to you by Bush-McCain-style economic policies. They prove that an economy built on Wild West behavior without legitimate government oversight brings disaster.

Beyond the government bailouts of financial giants like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and AIG, we need to restart our economic engine by fixing our real economy - where real people live and work.

We need immediate action by Congress to provide relief for working families, create new jobs and rebuild our economy from the ground up. The AFL-CIO is calling for fast-track congressional approval of a new economic stimulus plan that includes:

* A moratorium on home foreclosures to allow for a restructuring of subprime mortgages.
* Extended unemployment benefits for jobless workers.
* Fiscal relief to states and funding for food stamps to make sure all Americans can provide for their families.
* A jump-start for ready-to-go construction projects to repair schools, roads and bridges—construction that will help create good, family-supporting jobs in many communities where currently there are none.

Join us by calling your member of Congress today and tell them to take action:

We need to fix the real economy because families like yours remain our true economic engine. It is clear that our economic system is out of whack and we need to get to work fixing it right now, not just bailing out huge corporations.

Tell your member of Congress to pass a new economic stimulus bill that will help working families in the real economy as much as the speculative economy. We need to restart America’s real economy.
