Subject: A big first step-- thank you
Lisa --
Today, I signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law.
This is a historic step -- the first of many as we work together to climb out
of this crisis -- and I want to thank you for your resolve and your support.
You organized thousands of house meetings. You shared your ideas and personal
stories. And you informed your friends and neighbors about the need for
immediate action. You continue to be a powerful voice for change throughout
the country.
The recovery plan will create or save 3.5 million jobs, provide tax cuts for
working and middle-class families, and invest in health care and clean
energy.
It's a bold plan to address a huge problem, and it will require my vigilance
and yours to make sure it's done right.
I've assigned a team of managers to oversee the implementation of the
recovery act. We are committed to making sure no dollar is wasted. But
accountability begins with you.
That's why my administration has created
Recovery.gov,
a new website where citizens can track every dollar spent and every job
created. We'll invite you and your neighbors to weigh in with comments and
questions.
Our progress will also be measured by the tens of thousands of personal
stories submitted by people who are struggling to make ends meet. If you
haven't already, you can read stories from families all across the country:

Your stories are the heart of this recovery plan, and that's what I'll focus
on every day as President.
With your continued support, we'll emerge a stronger and more prosperous
nation.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama
UPDATE & DISCLAIMER: I've already received many emails questioning the meaning of this posted email. I should have clarified it but assumed it would be understood.
Mrs TWC received this email unsolicited. My assumption is that she is on the email list because she works in public policy and that the President is peddling influence. Mrs TWC did not vote for the president and did not participate in the promotion of the president's misguided policy of throwing another trillion dollars at a problem that was largely created by government policy.
TWC didn't get an email.
