Some people wonder what it will take for Congress to pass the American Jobs Act. Last week the National Education Association launched a 30-second commercial starring the nation’s children to help urge lawmakers along.
The NEA estimates President Obama’s proposal would put up to 280,000 educators back to work and modernize 35,000 of the nation’s aging public schools.
“The American Jobs Act is a win-win for the American people,” said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel in a press release. “Congress can choose to put students ahead of political gridlock by supporting a bill that puts Americans back to work, modernizes our schools, and puts educators in classrooms instead of on the unemployment lines.”
But not everyone agrees. What will the ‘American people’ think of the ad?
