Twitter Flash Mob Today for Bring Jobs Home Act

Working America (@workingamerica) and AFL-CIO (@AFLCIO) are coordinating a Twitter "flashmob" where to hound Senate today from 10am to 12 noon urging them to pass the Bring Jobs Home Act.

The Bring Jobs home Act will:

Cut taxes for U.S. companies that move jobs and business operations to the United States and end tax loopholes that reward companies that ship jobs overseas.



Here are some sample tweets:

Mad about the Olympic uniforms being made in China? There’s a bill for that. #BringJobsHome

Let’s reward patriotic companies, [SEN. TWITTER HANDLE]. Vote for the #BringJobsHome Act.

This isn’t a partisan issue. American taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for companies to ship jobs overseas. #BringJobsHome

Do you miss the #MadeInAmerica label? There’s a bill for that. Tell your Sen to vote for the #BringJobsHome Act

Your taxpayer dollars are being used to pay for companies to ship jobs overseas. But that can end today. #BringJobsHome

#BringJobsHome Act isn’t about party. It’s not about an election. It’s about common sense. Let’s pass this bill.
