Obama Calls For Local "Economic Recovery" House Parties This Weekend

As pressure builds for passage of economic recovery and reinvestment legislation in the U.S. Senate President Obama is calling for "Economic Recovery" informational parties across the nation this weekend that will include a video on the financial crisis produced by the Democratic National Committee.

"It's not enough for this bill to simply pass Congress. Americans need to know how it will affect their lives -- they need to know that help is on the way and that this administration is investing in economic growth and stability, said Obama in an e-mail to his base of supporters. "Governor Tim Kaine has agreed to record a video outlining the recovery plan and answering questions about what it means for your community. You can submit your questions online and then invite your friends, family, and neighbors to watch the video with you at an Economic Recovery House Meeting. You can help restore confidence in our economy by making sure your friends, family, and neighbors understand how the recovery plan will impact your community.

Sign up to host or attend an Economic Recovery House Meeting and submit your question for the video now:

Meanwhile, the Connecticut Citizen Action Group (CCAG) is urging residents to contact Senators Dodd and Lieberman in support of the stimulus plan that will need to be reconciled with a House version that passed last week with not a single Republican vote. Senator Dodd's office can be reached at (800) 334-5341 and Senator Lieberman's office at (800) 225-5605.
