‘It’s Just Not Working’

Jobless Rate Stagnant at 9.1 Percent
Over 925 Days Since President Obama Has Presented A Jobs Plan

WILMINGTON, DE —Another month of over 9% unemployment. Another month of no new job plan from President Obama.

The U.S. Labor Department released its monthly unemployment numbers today, and the figures continue to stick and stagnate at 9.1 percent, with zero new jobs created in August.

"It’s just not working – the Obama ‘recovery’ isn’t working, and too much of the American workforce literally isn’t working" said Colin Hanna , president of Let Freedom Ring, a public policy non-profit organization committed to promoting Constitutional government, economic freedom and traditional values. "The President has utterly failed to lead on the economy, failing to present a jobs plan in over 925 days, 925 days too many."

Let Freedom Ring just launched a new campaign, called "925 Days ," to highlight the fact that 925 days have passed since President Obama has presented a jobs plan. Now more than 925 days ago, President Obama signed his failed stimulus into law, and today national unemployment remains at 9.1 percent and 24 million Americans are either unemployed, underemployed or have stopped looking altogether.

As part of the campaign, Let Freedom Ring has released a web video, which was produced for LFR by HarrisMedia, LLC, and may be viewed on You Tube. In addition to the video, Let Freedom Ring also launched a website (www.925days.com) and a twitter hash tag campaign (#925days) where Americans can submit what they have done in 925 days, the time that has elapsed since President Obama last produced a jobs plan.
