On January 8th, President-elect Barack Obama spoke of the need for urgent action soon after his inauguration on his proposed “American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan” that will comprise the focus of his first 100 days in office. The plan is being estimated to save or create over 3 million jobs while investing in needed priorities such as our physical infrastructure, domestic energy development, health care and education. The Obama plan is being crafted to:

• Invest significantly in the repair of our nation’s crumbling physical infrastructure
• Double the production of alternative energy in the next three to five years
• Modernize more than 75% of federal buildings and improve the energy efficiency of more than 2 million American homes, saving consumers and taxpayers billions on energy bills
• Make the immediate investments necessary to ensure that within five years, all of America’s medical records are computerized
• Equip tens of thousands of schools, community colleges, and public universities with 21st century classrooms, labs and libraries.
• Expand broadband across America
• Invest in science, research and technology that will lead to new groundbreaking discoveries that will lead to new industries.
