Dittoheads
Rush Limbaugh wants President Obama's plan to create jobs to fail. House Republicans are evidently loyal Rush "Dittoheads" based on their unanimous vote against the plan. But what will the Senate Republicans do now?

Washington D.C. – Americans United for Change, a progressive non-profit issue-advocacy group that is helping lead a coalition of more than 30 progressive and labor organizations working to pass President Elect Barack Obama’s ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan,’ unveiled a new television ad urging U.S. Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) to support the Obama jobs plan. The spot titled ‘Day and Night – Ohio” features highlights from a recent speech by President Elect Obama and will air on all four Cleveland, OH area broadcast stations on Friday, January 16th during the President Elect’s planned visit to the area to promote his plans for jobs and economic recovery. Obama and Congressional leaders have proposed an economic recovery plan that will create or save three to four million jobs, strengthen our middle class, and improve the economy in the near and long term by making sound investments in state fiscal relief, health care, energy efficiency, transportation and schools. The ad calls on Republican U.S. Senator George Voinovich of Ohio to support the plan and includes an image of DHL – the shipping company whose decision to close up shop has devastates Wilmington, Ohio.. *See Script of ‘Day and Night - Ohio’ Below.
Brad Woodhouse, President of Americans United for Change: “There’s no stronger messenger to articulate the need for a major jobs and economic recovery package than President Elect Obama and no more compelling place for him to do it than the state of Ohio. The plan being offered by President Elect Obama will put millions of middle-class Americans back to work quickly through solid and sound long-term investments in health care, energy efficiency, transportation and education. The eyes of Ohio and the nation are on members of Congress like Senator Voinovich to move forward with Obama’s jobs plan as soon as possible to address the worsening economic recession that left 2.6 million Americans without jobs last year. Senator Voinovich possesses both a key vote and an influential voice and his support for the Obama plan, if he were willing to offer it, would go along away towards ensuring passage of this vitally important plan to turn our economy around."
Launched on December 18th with nearly 50 events from coast to coast, the Campaign for Jobs and Economic Recovery is a coalition of more than 30 leading progressive groups and unions utilizing all the resources and techniques of a modern campaign to pass the Obama jobs plan. From grassroots and grass tops contacts, to phones, emails, web videos and paid advertising – this $4-5 million campaign aims to pressure key and potentially deciding votes in Congress, like Senator Voinovich, and to build a movement for an overwhelming victory for this package so that the American people have confidence in the plan and its ability to help turn our economy around.
