I'm thinking of canvassing my precinct and need slimjim content
The following was thrown together point by point from the video. I'd love to see what you all can come up with to "fill in the "..." blanks"
Thanks,

Our Economy, You, and I
As usual, we are hearing a lot of promises and pronouncements from Washington regarding the current "crisis". Unfortunately, the air this time is so hot we could all get burned. I am an independent activist; concerned enough to have dropped this info by your place. Just some food for thought.
The economic situation is un-precedented. There is tendency of some to panic in these situations and mistakes are easily made. It is up to the vigilant to watch closely and inform themselves of as many sides of the story as possible. (Then act accordingly.) Here is how I see the new "Recovery Plan":

If you see what I see, I implore you to talk to your friends and neighbors, get into the habit calling/writing your representatives to voice your support or opposition to current events. Get back involved, please. And thank you for taking the time to read this.
