He's clearly making a difference.

4. Ed Schultz was pointing out how manufacturers of windows and doors
Edited on Thu Mar-26-09 04:28 PM by Ilsa
were rehiring workers because the government, by Obama's stimulus package, was raising the standard for energy efficient windows and doors. It was just a small segment of the big picture, but it's a start.

I hope you and your neighbor can put together letters to the editor of your local paper that reflect this.

7. I just talked to a co-worker in Oregon
He met a friend who's in construction. He told my friend that, between oregon's commitment to pass bonds for "shovel ready" projects and the Stimulus, construction is picking up.

8. Obama's plan is working. I'm telling my dad's pension was pebbles until
Pres O's plan came into affect and it changed the pension system. We got a letter in the male that certain monies can't be withheld.

13. Yeah it's pretty exciting. They actually listed in our letter President Obama's name
and they listed the Recovery Act by name and what changes it's doing on the pension. It actually states that up to a certain amount of money, no taxes can be withheld and that money goes straight to the recipient.

12. That's not a job.
According to Cantor, Steele, and the rest of the Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight.

I bet your neighbor disagrees. :)

15. This thread is very encouraging!
I hadn't heard any stories like this yet; it would be great to have a central place to keep track of them. K&R
