... an economic recovery package that truly empowers families!
Here's an excerpt from the email I just got from MomsRising.org that made me pause in my holiday preparations to send a quick message to Congress:
Right now, yes today, Congress is putting together an economic recovery package and we need you to take a brief moment to tell them not to forget about the economic security needs of families (that's us!).
*Send a holiday letter with 1-click to your Congressional representatives telling them to include families in the Economic Recovery Package which they're drafting right now:
www.momsrisingaction.org
Your letter will alert Congress that they need to incorporate the MomsRising Top Priorities for Families in their Economic Recovery Package--ensuring healthcare coverage for all children and then quickly moving forward to full healthcare reform, expanding unemployment insurance to cover part-time workers, giving states funds for family and medical leave insurance, funding quality early learning programs, and creating jobs which help everyone get ahead.
Here's the link to a detailed description of the five priorities in the Family Economic Recovery Passage. It's an impressive Christmas wish list.
Well, back to wrapping presents and helping my kids make ornaments for their grandparents. Have a blessed celebration of Jesus' birthday!
