Dear Friend:

The New Direction Congress has already passed a bipartisan economic stimulus package to help hardworking Americans, jumpstart our slowing economy and help create 500,000 American jobs by the end of the year. The stimulus is a first step to boosting the economy and saving jobs, but I know that long-term investments are needed to achieve enduring economic stability. A strengthened economy is only achievable through policies that respect and give value to your time, labor and money.

This is why I am working with my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives on initiatives to invest in our workforce through green industries, stabilize the value of our homes, drive us toward independence from foreign oil and invest in our children — carefully rebuilding our infrastructure to support our economy today and tomorrow.

Join me for an ONLINE community meeting on April 29th from 3 PM - 4 PM to discuss and learn more about how we are working to make our economy stronger and more secure. I will be addressing as many questions as I can throughout the course of the hour, and I invite you to submit questions in advance by visiting the Community Meetings section on my website.

Please contact my office at 978-531-1669 or visit http://tierney.house.gov for more information on the meeting listed above.

Sincerely,

John F. Tierney
Member of Congress
