3,800 Public School Teachers

Dear Amherst County Virginia Democrats

I want to thank the OFA supporters who stood with House Democrats as they raced back to Washington this week to cast a vote on a state assistance bill.    I'm proud to say they passed the bill yesterday and the President immediately signed it into law.


And, because of it, hundreds of thousands of jobs will be saved -- including an estimated 3,800 public school teachers across Virginia.


Republicans called this bill a "bailout" and a "handout."    They called the police officers, firefighters, and teachers whose jobs were on the line "special interests."    And nearly every House Republican voted no.


But Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats did the right thing, reminding us again of what we're fighting for in the upcoming elections.    When voters cast their ballots in November, it's up to us to make sure they remember who's fighting for them.


Thanks for all you do,

Mitch
