Immediate release: Video: The President talks tax cuts. Organizing for America

Contact: Mitch Stewart, Director, Organizing for America

Friend –

Yesterday, the President announced the framework of a bipartisan agreement to extend a set of tax cuts that were set to expire, restore unemployment benefits for millions of Americans, and pass additional measures to help middle-class families and create jobs.

Now, he’s recorded a video to speak directly to OFA supporters about the deal. pa href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/m/55c113a1/6bdbb975/1578cd176/11881c0e/3392772901/VEsE/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://my.barackobama.com']);return TrackClick("http%3A%2F%2Fmy.barackobama.com%2Fpage%2Fm%2F55c113a1%2F6bdbb975%2F1578cd176%2F11881c0e%2F3392772901%2FVEsE%2F','')" target="_blank"/abr /
