President Obama is travelling around the country, from East Coast, to the Heartland, to the West Coast. He has kicked off a new effort to urge Congress to pass the American Jobs Act, piece by piece, to put WE THE PEOPLE back to work and strengthen the Economy. The President declared “we can’t wait" for Republicans to pass a bill -- that is why he is taking his message to the People. On Twitter and Facebook, people around the country have been talking about why we can't wait and the issues they care about the most. From Education to Firemen, Policemen to Construction - jobs in every city and every town in America. The President is talking about real American Jobs. He is also talking about affordable financing programs for Mortgages and for Education.With the Republicans doing all they can to roadblock his efforts, he is taking his message to all of us, the American People. Massive crowds of Americans are welcoming him into their cities, into their homes. The President's approval rating continues to rise.
Last week, the President was welcomed in Nevada and spoke to many small business owners, teachers and local workers. After his Nevada visit, President Obama visited Hollywood.Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith attended one of the L.A. events, as did Los Angeles Lakers basketball legend Magic Johnson.
President Obama also visited the home of Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith who hosted a Latino/Hollywood Stars event for President Obama. Eva Longoria introduced the President by saying he "speaks to the Latino community because he knows he's the President of all Americans. And we applaud you from our community. We thank you for everything you're doing." Also present were Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, activist Dolores Huerta and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.).
I agree with Eva Longoria. The President is NOT like the Republicans who continue to advocate Racial Profiling laws in every state and Mass Deportation. Instead, he supports jobs for ALL Americans and he supports the Dream Act. He has stopped the deportation of students and non-felonious workers, instead he is targetting Felonious Criminals for deportation. We know he needs to do more to support Comprehensive Immigration Reform. That is why it is so important that we register to vote and elect him and as many Democratic Congressmen as possible so CIR may be passed in 2013.
The President also spoke on the Tonight Show with host Jay Leno. The audience cheered and loudly applauded as he brought his JOBS message out to WE THE PEOPLE!
