Obama is the Man
Mr.President,
I know you were not thinking of me in specific when you created and pushed through the stimulus package, but I still would like to thank you and congress for it. In a time where I see media judging it's value to make jobs and help the economy or even truly fund change, I'd like you to know it has indeed created a few job opportunities for me in fields I'm thrilled to be in.
I know my job and the jobs available to many other young people (and older people though the push is for grads and students) existed before the stimulus, and here in MA I'm fairly confident that a lot of the funding will be raised or maintained to keep these jobs after the stimulus. However the sheer number currently offered to jump start college grads as well as to offer lasting careers in the advocacy field is all on you.
The money from that package in MA is being split up into a series of green bills. While our reps vote out exactly where and how that creates a huge boon in advocacy groups to moblize and lobby for green energy, increased recycling, bills to reduce non reusable packaging and so on.
Beyond the money though, your rhetoric and stances on these issues bring us hope that if we just canvas a bit more and push a little harder. Green energy for everyone is in sight. My new job and hundreds of others like it is delicious, but the sense of hope and urgency I can see filling advocacy offices and campaigns is even sweeter.
For the jobs and the money and the hope of a more viable future Mr. Pres, I thank you.
