The
Most Important Unknown Statistic Said Clinton: "In the last eight years, we went from first to tenth in terms of the percentage of 25 to 34 year olds holding a bachelor's degree. That's the most important unknown statistic out there... We are headed into long-term economic decline if we don't do something about it." Clinton noted that exploding tuition at
college is driving the problem, as "higher education institutions
are pricing themselves into America's decline." He argued
that new, less-costly "delivery systems" for education
were needed to reverse this trend. |

Friend -- There's big movement in Congress: Just a short time after President Obama laid out a comprehensive plan for reform, the fifth and final congressional committee has unveiled its health reform legislation. It's the furthest we've come in generations. But we can't let up -- we need the President's call to keep ringing in the ears of Congress -- and we need your help to make it happen. Please click here to call your senators, and to report your call. According to our records, you live in New York. Please call: Sen. Chuck Schumer at 202-224-6542 (Not your senators? Click here to look yours up.) Call your senators, and tell whoever answers where you are from and that you want them to support the President's plan. Ask them if they support the plan -- and if they do, make sure to strongly thank them. Don't forget to click here to let us know what they said. And if you get a busy signal, it just means that other supporters are calling in too, so please try again to make sure all of our voices are heard. This movement has brought us to a historic moment where reform is within reach. Now your energy and commitment are needed to get us the rest of the way.

BTS Releases July Passenger Airline Employment
Data; July 2009 Employment Down 5.9 Percent from July 2008 U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed 5.9 percent fewer workers in July 2009 than in July 2008, the 13th consecutive decrease in full-time equivalent employee (FTE) levels for the scheduled passenger carriers from the same month of the previous year, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today. FTE calculations count two part-time employees as one full-time employee. BTS, a part of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration, reported that the July FTE total of 386,900 for the scheduled passenger carriers was 25,800 below July 2008 and the lowest total for any month since 1993. All the network airlines decreased employment from July 2008 to July 2009 as did low-cost carriers AirTran Airways, Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines. Regional carriers American Eagle Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, ExpressJet Airlines, Comair, Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Pinnacle Airlines, Horizon Air, Mesa Airlines, Air Wisconsin Airlines, Colgan Airlines and PSA Airlines also reported reduced employment levels compared to last year. Scheduled passenger airline categories include network, low-cost, regional and other airlines. The seven network airlines employed 260,459 FTEs in July, 67.3 percent of the passenger airline total, while low-cost carriers employed 16.3 percent and regional carriers employed 14.6 percent. See BTS Passenger Airline Employment press release for summary tables and additional data. ### |

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY VILSACK AND CHINESE AGRICULTURE MINISTER ADDRESS TRADE CONCERNS, AGREE TO RENEW COOPERATION AGREEMENT WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2009 - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today welcomed China's Minister of Agriculture Sun Zhengcai to the United States to discuss a wide range of agricultural trade issues. They concluded their talks by renewing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on bilateral cooperation in scientific research and agricultural trade between the two countries. The original MOU signed in August 2003 established a Joint Committee on Cooperation in Agriculture (JCCA), which meets at least once every two years alternately in the United States and China.
"Since China joined the WTO in 2001, it has become our fourth largest market for agricultural exports," said Vilsack. "With two-way agricultural trade reaching nearly $15 billion, it is not surprising that there are issues that require coordination. The renewal of this MOU is an indication of the importance that both countries place on cooperation and working together. The MOU solidifies the JCCA to develop and guide future collaboration between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture."
The next JCCA meetings are scheduled for Oct. 22, 2009, in Washington. Following those meetings, Vilsack will travel to China along with Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk to participate in the U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) in Hangzhou on Oct. 29. The JCCT serves as an important forum for Cabinet-level officials from both countries to resolve trade concerns and enhance economic opportunities and cooperation. USDA Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services James Miller just returned from China where he participated in meetings of the Agriculture and Sanitary and Phytosanitary Working Groups under the JCCT. A copy of the JCCA MOU is available at http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/china/us-China.asp. # |

Bipartisan Consensus for Extending Unemployment Benefits Under the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the pace of job loss has declined dramatically in recent months. However, because the recession was so deep, it will take more time to completely reverse the more than 6.9 million jobs lost since the beginning of the recession in 2007. Long-term unemployment has hit its highest rate since measuring began in 1948, with 5 million Americans out of work for more than six months. Over 300,000 jobless workers are expected to run out of unemployment compensation by the end of September. Therefore, Congress is taking action to provide up to an additional 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits in states with high unemployment, where it is much more difficult for people to find new jobs, despite months of searching. ### |

US Energy Secretary Chu Announces $528
Million Loan for Advanced Vehicle Technology for Fisker Automotive Investment will save or create at least 5,000 jobs Washington, DC – Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced a $528.7 million conditional loan for Fisker Automotive for the development of two lines of plug-in hybrids that will save hundreds of millions gallons of gasoline and offset millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2016. The project will result in approximately 5,000 jobs created or saved for domestic parts suppliers and thousands more to manufacture a plug-in hybrid in the U.S. “This investment will create thousands of new American jobs and is another critical step in making sure we are positioned to compete for the clean energy jobs of the future,” said Secretary Chu. “Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles could revolutionize personal transportation and cut our dependence on foreign oil, not to mention give us cleaner air and less carbon pollution.” This is the fourth conditional loan commitment the Department of Energy has entered into under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan program. The Department plans to make additional loans under this program over the coming months to large and small auto manufacturers and parts suppliers up and down the production supply chain. In the first stage of the program, Fisker Automotive will use a $169.3 million ATVM loan for engineering integration costs as it works with primarily U.S. suppliers to complete the company’s first vehicle, the Fisker Karma. Engineers will also design tools and equipment and develop manufacturing processes. This work will be conducted at Fisker’s Pontiac, Michigan office with support from its headquarters in Irvine, California. While the final assembly of the Karma will be done overseas, more than 65 percent (based on cost) of the parts required for Karma will come from U.S. suppliers. The four-door Karma is scheduled to appear in showrooms in summer 2010. The second stage includes a $359.36 million ATVM loan for Fisker’s Project Nina, involving the manufacture of a plug-in hybrid in the U.S. Fisker estimates that up to 75,000-100,000 of these highly efficient vehicles will roll off assembly lines in the U.S. every year beginning in late 2012. The combined projects are anticipated to create thousands of jobs in the U.S. and provide substantial support for domestic parts suppliers saving or creating approximately 5,000 jobs. Fisker automobiles are driven by electric motors powered by a lithium-ion battery, or, when that is depleted, a generator driven by an efficient gasoline engine. The electric-only range will be more than most people drive in a day. The battery can be charged at home overnight. Using gas and electric power, Fisker plug-in hybrids will have a cruising range of about 300 miles. The projected annual sales of these vehicles would contribute significantly to the Administration’s goal of having one million plug-in hybrids on the road by 2015. -DOE- |

HHS Secretary Sebelius Announces Senate Confirmation of Carmen Nazario as Assistant Secretary for Children and Families U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today that the United States Senate unanimously confirmed Carmen Nazario as Assistant Secretary for Children and Families. In that role, she will oversee the Administration for Children and Families within HHS. “Carmen Nazario has a distinguished record of more than 40 years working in human services at every level of government, as well as in the private and non-profit sectors,” said Secretary Sebelius. “She has devoted her career to developing and implementing programs that promote the well-being of children and families, and she will build on that important work as Assistant Secretary for Children and Families.” Carmen Nazario’s Bio: Until her recent nomination, Carmen Nazario
was an Assistant Professor at the Inter American University of
Puerto Rico, where she taught social policy and coordinated the
Social Work Practicum at the School of Social Work. Nazario has
vast experience in public service with a focus on improving services
to children and families within the United States and around
the world, dating back to 1968. From January 2003 – December
2008, she served as Administrator of the Administration for Children
and Families for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, where she led
an agency of 4,000 staff with a budget of over $220 million.
Prior to that, she served as the Senior Resident Investigator
for the Jordan Poverty Alleviation Program, where she developed
and implemented a national poverty reduction strategy for the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and advised leaders in the nation
on the delivery of social services. During the Clinton Administration,
she first served as Associate Commissioner for Child Care in
the Administration on Children, Youth and Families and later
became the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF). Nazario joined the Clinton Administration
after serving as Secretary of Health and Social Services for
the State of Delaware from 1993-1997, and, prior to that, she
was the Director of Social Services in Norfolk, Virginia, and
Loudon County, Virginia. Nazario has held a number of national
leadership roles, including Vice President of the Board of Directors
of the American Public Welfare Association, President of the
National Council of Local Public Welfare Administrators, and
Secretary of the National Council of State Human Service Administrators.
Nazario is from Bayamon, Puerto Rico. She received a Bachelor
of Arts with honors in Sociology from the University of Puerto
Rico in 1967, and was awarded her Master of Social Work degree
from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Social Work in
1973. |

Contact: Katie Grant Hoyer Statement on the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009 WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) spoke on the House Floor today in support of the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery: “Eight months into the 111th Congress, and the Obama presidency, it is clear that the economic policies that we have put in place are helping to pull our country out of recession. This month, the Blue Chip economic survey confirmed that 81% of leading economists believe the recession is over; Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke recently stated that he agrees. “Non-partisan economic analysts agree
that the actions taken by the Obama administration and Congress,
including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, were critical
to stabilizing our economy and putting us on the path to recovery.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Moody’s, and
the Council of Economic Advisors all concluded that our economy
has approximately one million more jobs than it would have had
if the Recovery Act had not been passed. And last week, the Center
on Budget and Policy Priorities found that the Recovery Act kept
six million Americans from falling below the poverty line and
reduced the severity of poverty for 33 million Americans. Whether
we are Republicans or Democrats, those are results we can all
cheer—because they mean economic security for the people
we represent. “Though unemployment continues to
strain families in all of our districts, job losses have been
steadily decreasing under President Obama, with last month’s
figures the best in a year. But while job losses have slowed,
it will take some time before we can reverse the losses that
economists agree began nearly two years ago, and start creating
enough jobs for people who have been out of work. Long-term unemployment
remains at its highest rate since we began measuring it in 1948:
over 33% of the total unemployed have been out of work for more
than 26 weeks. “For their sake, this bill extends for up to 13 weeks the unemployment benefits of more than 300,000 American workers. I know that some argue that unemployment insurance can be an incentive not to seek a job at all. But that argument doesn’t hold water for the workers who are the target of this bill—workers in the states with unemployment rates over 8.5%, the states in which an honest effort to find work is most likely to be frustrated. We chose to target those workers who are still having difficulty finding a job—not because they’re failing to give their best effort, but because the economic climate of their state is still difficult. “Not only is supporting job-seeking workers the right thing to do—extending unemployment insurance benefits all of us. That’s because the money provided is quickly spent on necessities, which provides an immediate boost to local economies. “Mr. Speaker, an extension of unemployment
insurance is supported by a bipartisan coalition of 22 governors,
who understand its benefits for their economies and families.
They write that unemployment benefits have ‘offered relief
each month to struggling families across the country and have
played a critical role in stabilizing the economy’—and
that these benefits must be extended. I would also add that,
because this bill is fully paid-for, it doesn’t add to the
deficit. ### |

David Axelrod, The White House: Got
a few minutes? Four minutes — that’s all you need to learn just what you get from health insurance reform. Take the few minutes and watch now The details the President outlines in this video are those that every American needs to know. No matter your political party or whether or not you have insurance, his plan for health care security and stability matters to all of us. Millions of American citizens cannot get health insurance — and 14,000 are losing their insurance every day. If we do nothing, half of Americans under the age of 65 will lose their health insurance at some point in the next ten years. That’s not right. Plain and simple. For Americans with insurance as well as those without it, inaction is not an option. In America, no one should go broke because they get sick. Bottom line — health insurance reform will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance, coverage for those who don’t, and will lower the cost of health care for our families, our businesses, and our government. As the President says, now is the time to deliver the change we need on health care. Forward this email and make sure your family, friends and social networks take four minutes and watch this video. Thank you, David Axelrod |
