Main Street

Health care...jobs...the economy. These are the issues that you and other Working America members have told us you care most about. We're always looking for ways to take action with you on those issues, and one of the most important elements of taking action is having information you can trust, information from someone who's on your side. You can't know how to change things without knowing what's going on.

That's why we'd like to introduce you to our new Main Street blog. It's a source of information on the issues you care about-not just health care and jobs but education, the mortgage crisis and retirement too-and coming from Working America, you know that that the focus will always be on what will benefit working families. We won't waste time crying that a Wall Street millionaire might have to sell his third vacation home.

Instead, we'll put the challenges working families face into the context of the broader economy. The Main Street blog is where working people come to learn and talk about "the economy," which isn't distant or abstract, but something we all deal with every single day, at work or in the search for work, in the aisles of the grocery store, and at the kitchen table.

It will feature news you might have missed, opinions on the news everyone's talking about, and personal stories about getting by in this economy. And we don't want to be talking at you. We hope you'll talk back in the comments section-tell us what we're missing, or we say that strikes a chord with you.

We hope you'll stop by.
