AFSCME Call To Action - Save State Jobs!

Call to Action - Now! Please call 1-888-460-0813 and ask your Senator to support an increase in Medicaid funding for the states as part of the jobs bill. Helping state and local governments saves and creates jobs. Every dollar invested in public services creates $1.41 in economic growth. Economists on the left and right agree that helping state and local governments is one of the best ways to save and create jobs.

Recommended script: Hello, my name is ____ and I live at _____. I'd like to speak to the person who is working on the jobs bill. When you are connected, ask this question: Can I count on Senator_______ to support and fight for aid for state and local goivernments as part of the jobs bill?
