19,000 Reasons to Pass Obama’s Jobs Plan Now
President Obama’s plan is a balanced approach to job creation with modern investments and targeted incentives, putting thousands back to work. In Maryland alone, the President’s plan would create and save an estimated 19,000 jobs. It will put construction workers back on the job, keep our police officers, teachers and firefighters on the job in our communities, and help the long-term unemployed get back to work, and small businesses back to hiring. America wins when America creates jobs, and together, we can create jobs and opportunity, and build our children a bridge to a better future.

We wanted to share this statement from Governor O'Malley on President Obama's plan to rebuild America with smart investments that create and saves jobs.
"The President has put forth a balanced and responsible plan to reduce the deficit and accelerate our nation's jobs recovery. President Obama is right to focus on the smart decisions and smart investments-in education, innovation, and infrastructure-that we know will create jobs and opportunity now. And unlike the proposals put forth by Congressional Republicans, President Obama's plan asks Americans of all income levels to contribute their fair share to reducing the deficit.
I look forward to working with the President, Congress, and governors of both parties to identify ways that we can reform Medicaid. I am confident that we can find commonsense solutions to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes without dropping health care coverage for our most vulnerable citizens or shifting costs to individuals and the states.
“I join the President in urging Congressional Republicans to put aside partisan politics and to focus on creating jobs and opportunity now for our families.”

Warren Buffett: Stop Coddling the Super-Rich
In case you missed it, Warren Buffett, one of the world's richest people, wrote this oped in the New York Times on the need to "Stop Coddling the Super-Rich."
He writes, "While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks."
"Since 1992, the I.R.S. has compiled data from the returns of the 400 Americans reporting the largest income. In 1992, the top 400 had aggregate taxable income of $16.9 billion and paid federal taxes of 29.2 percent on that sum. In 2008, the aggregate income of the highest 400 had soared to $90.9 billion — a staggering $227.4 million on average — but the rate paid had fallen to 21.5 percent."

Governor O'Malley knows there is a way to move our country forward without needlessly plunging into default and making damaging cuts that hurt America's working families.
Read his post in the HuffingtonPost to learn more:
"This week, Moodys placed our country's AAA bond rating under review. We are now no longer weeks away from default, we are days. The threats are real, the consequences are great and the implications for our country's future financial health are frightening.
Over the past few weeks, we've seen divisiveness and political gamesmanship like we've never seen before. We've seen a new wing of the Republican party emerge with one goal and one goal only and that is to defeat President Obama in the upcoming election -- even if it means killing the jobs recovery and risking our country's financial stability.

Gov. Martin O’Malley at the Utah Democratic Jubilee Dinner
Thank you all. Thank you, thank you. Hey, it’s great to be with you, what a tremendous turnout here in the state of Utah. Are y’all fired up? (Audience cheers.) Are you fired up? (Cheers). Ready to go? (Yeah!) Fired up? (Yeah!) Ready to go? (Cheers) I say Barack, you say Obama. Barack! (Obama!) Barack! (Obama!) Barack! (Obama!)
Folks, you know what, we can all have differences of opinion but there’s only one way to go for the USA, and that is forward. And we’re going to do that by reelecting Barack Obama in 2012 (Applause.)
I am very, very appreciative of what it means to serve for six years as a party chair. That has to be one of the most important, and also at the same time one of the most thankless jobs in any party, and so Wayne—who for six years that Katie has allowed him to do this job—we salute you and thank you. (Applause.)
