Letter to my congressman

Dear Congressman,

Back in 1938 my mom and dad were struggling to put food on the table for their young family. They lived in southern rural Oklahoma on a 40-acre red dirt farm. A farm suffering from drought. They had no electricity, no running water, and Living in an almost third world existence. Plus my dad had no steady employment. And as you know the effects of a serious economic depression was still lingering as well. This is not to mention both having survived the horrific rolling clouds of red dust.

Then my dad heard about Roosevelt’s Works Projects Administration. The WPA was hiring strong and willing men to build new county roads and school buildings. My dad quickly signed up and almost immediately started receiving a steady paycheck. Not a lot of money but it helped. The work was hard and dirty but it put food on the table. He and thousands of other men were glad to have such an opportunity from the WPA. It had saved many children from starvation and possibly from early childhood death.

Nonetheless, you can also help provide the same benefit for today’s tens of thousands of out of work Americans. All you need to do is support the A. J. A. The Americans Jobs Act as recommended by President Obama. President Roosevelt had his nay Sayers but they were proven wrong. President Obama also has his detractors and doubters. However, you can prove them wrong as well by supporting the AJA and put thousands of Americans back to work. Please support and vote this Act into law. Thanks for your help. God Bless America.
