Is this really worth a story? Only 224 people want the stimulus package passed. Lets see, teachers and government workers and still only 224! This makes Move On in Wisconsin a bigger joke than it already is. So they put out a P R and the Green Bay Press is obligated to run it? This makes the Green Bay Press a bigger joke also.

"MoveOn.org urges Kagen to back plan

Members of the political action group MoveOn.org delivered a petition signed by 224 Wisconsin residents to Democrat U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen's Green Bay office Wednesday urging him to support President-elect Barack Obama's stimulus package."

The petition stated: "Congress should quickly pass Obama's plan to invest in clean energy, green jobs, health care and relief for struggling states. No more tax cuts for the rich."
Obama's stimulus plan, which has grown to about $850 billion, so far includes helping cash-strapped states with a Medicaid health-care program for the poor and disabled, creating education block grants for states, paying subsidies to help laid-off workers keep health insurance, extending unemployment benefits and increasing food stamps.
"I think the sooner they move on the stimulus package, the better everyone will be," said Marte Carlin, a member of MoveOn.org.
