The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan
Dear Terry,
Last Thursday, President-elect Barack Obama gave a major speech outlining his plan for getting us out of this economic slump we’re in, called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. It’s a far-reaching and aggressive plan, and we think it’s what the economy needs to get going again.
But it’s going to take a lot of work to get the plan approved, and your involvement is essential. That’s why we asked some of the leading members of the Transition’s policy teams to sit down and talk a bit about it — why it’s necessary, how it will work, and how we’ll make sure it’s as efficient and effective as it is bold.
We compiled their responses into a short video, touching on each of the major elements of the plan. Watch the video now at http://change.gov/plan:

Some parts of the plan might already be familiar to you. The plans for rebuilding infrastructure, expanding renewable energy capacity, and overhauling health care and education all build upon promises that President-elect Obama made during the campaign.
We’re committed to keeping those promises — and now, given the challenges we face, they’re more important than ever.
We’re counting on your help and your support.
Thanks,
John
