The President's Weekly Address: GOP Rewarding Corporations that Create Jobs Overseas

From the White House blog:

The President lays out his agenda to foster investment here at home. He vows to close the tax loopholes for sending jobs and profits overseas that Congressional Republicans have tried to protect.

If you wish to read the remarks the transcript is HERE.

I want to highlight something that is in the talk, plus on the transcript page... This is what we are voting to stop on Nov. 2.

In this week’s address, President Obama laid out a policy agenda that would strengthen our economy and create jobs right here in America by offering tax incentives to businesses that hire new employees, making the research and experimentation tax credit permanent and providing a tax cut for clean energy manufacturing. The President also wants to close tax loopholes worth billions of dollars that encourage companies to invest in overseas, while Republicans in the House have voted 11 times in just the last four years to keep those loopholes open.

We have to defeat the GOPers or we will never move forward with jobs, clean energy or anything else in the next 2 or 6 years.

Sorry this is late, I have been out of town and was very tired last night.. Hope you can forgive me.

The President's Weekly Address: A Solar Recovery

From the White House blog:

As part of the explosion of Recovery Act projects this summer and as a move towards a clean energy future, the President announces nearly $2 billion in conditional commitments to key solar companies. Learn more from the White House fact sheet.

This address has everything....lol He calls out the GOPers, he talks about new jobs in the Solar and Wind Energy field. Then at the last he reminds us of our greatness as a country and he mentions the troops around the world.

I love how he is taking on the GOPers... all I can say to that is MORE...lol People need to realize how much they are blocking and what they are blocking. The benefits to veterans, the unemployment extensions and a new jobs bill to help this economy continue to recover.

All this deficit talk is nonsense. Don't people realize once the jobs start coming back and revenues go up the deficit will go down? How can they not see that? I am not talking about the GOPers... they have decided if they can obstruct and keep this recovery from happening they will regain power... That's all this is, an attempt at a power grab.

I have to wonder how many people who are struggling and out of work are worrying about the deficit in this country. I don't think it is that many.... but the GOPers with the media helping as always is trying to push this. Please help educate people about this. If you find someone who is expressing concern... explain it to them. But remember you may have to use small words...........LOL

Clean Energy Needs to be Passed for Our Security

Our Iraq war veterans have seen first hand what the war for profit was all about.. here is a quick little ad that is going to be running to show how they are pushing for the Clean Energy Act to help with our security and how clean energy is tied into it.

VoteVets is a great organization to help promote things that we need to help Veterans, to help get legislation passed to benefit all of us. They really do a great job as you can see from this Ad which will be running all over.

Of course like all organizations, they are non-profit and they are always needing help, so if you can go to their site and drop a few coins in the bucket to help the Vets and keep them on the airwaves.. They are good supporters of the President and help a lot by pushing a Democratic agenda for the most part.

Jon Soltz has been on Rachel's show several times..and he has been on other shows as well.. I won't link to all the appearances but you can look him up.

Here is the ad that will be airing soon.



Check them out, watch some of the other videos they have and see what great work they have done. We may not agree with the war in Iraq and I certainly don't... but we still have to support our veterans. They were sent to do a job, it doesn't matter what they believe, it doesn't matter who they voted for, it was their job and they did it.. Now they need our support.
