An Open Letter to President Obama

I just returned home from an Obama House Party, we read aloud what was eliminated from the Stimulus package, and we are grieving the death of our grandchildren. School lunches for some children are the only meal they are getting. I know this because my daughter is a middle school teach at King Middle School in Los Angeles. Women in tonight's meeting are also volunteering at a local food bank to prepare cereal packages for children to take with them for the weekend. Another person there was laid off back in April of last year, went for retraining and then Eclipse laid off hundreds and is now going under. In the light of human misery that is befalling the American people this stimulus package is shameful.
President Obama does not need to compromise because the stimulus is not enough, as it stands now is flawed and people are falling further than anyone in the Senate realizes or even cares. Tonight, I was at Melissa Curry's Obama's House Party her daughter is an aid to Congressman Martin Heinrich of NM. She will be sending a report on what we need in NM to create jobs. The transportation infrastructure jobs will go to those in the construction industry not to the 40yearand older unemployed workers who were at our party tonight.
It takes 12 people to build a 10Mw wind generator 6 mo. for production and assembly. The Rust belt can make the steel part s and assembly factories in every county can make solar and wind renewables. We could put to work 140,000 people here. Instead, we have the nuclear dirty-energy-contaminating-earth-killing -wolves at the doors of congress raping the coffers and the soul of the people in this country by getting $32.5 Billion for nuclear weapons and DOE spending spree-- this is unacceptable and beyond shameful, especially when children are going hungry and their futures in jeopardy. How dare they do this to the American People. President, you want our support then give from the bottom up. Congress and Senate do the same. Show your base you can give what you promised and castoff the jackals of the Senate. I understand none of this is easy.
At the meeting tonight we discussed phone banking and calling from the base. We are going to find out what other groups are doing. I want to support this and you and we need more because the Bush Administration hollowed out the government and if nothing else they need to be help accountable for it. Accountability and transparency.
