THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BIDEN !! 💙



@BidensWork
Local papers across the country celebrating Biden's infrastructure law sending $26 Billion to repair nearly 45,000 bridges nationwide.



THANK YOU TO ALL LEGISLATORS WHO VOTED 'YES' ON BIF !!

Infrastructure makes up our roads and transit systems, water pipes and water treatment, as well as our parks and waste facilities, to name just a few.

The former guy more than tripled his margin of defeat between 2016 and 2020. One reason, of course, is that Democrats got out the vote, and those efforts are ongoing. But another big reason is that the former guy didn't do jack squat except blow his own horn for four years. What have the Republicans done to reverse that? Nada.

For the balance of the year, Democrats can tout the work that's being done: Bridges renovated, roads improved lead abated, plumbing upgraded, and on and on. Can we make our case for voters to turn out in favor of Democrats? It's just possible.

Democrats also shouldn't let anyone claim credit for the new construction projects who didn't vote for the bill.

Seriously this will put a lot of people to work by summer.
Decent pay that will help level off that playing field & grow the economy, update a desperately needed infrastructure system for Cities, States & Counties & deliver pride in the accomplishment.
This hits so many marks for progress.

Thank You Joe Biden! 👍

Every project had a big sign at the beginning of the construction zone, something like this. Everyone knew where the funds were coming from.

to my husband, as we're thrilled the money is finally getting allocated. The jobs in this bill are for real, and it's a shame it was tied up since August for the unnecessary political public fights that got us nowhere.

Look at all those headlines!! Thrilling.

He moves into a better place In Feb. The stars have not been all that kind to him the first year. What I believe is that he will have the last laugh. In addition...PBO made an excellent choice for his VP and PJB has done the same.

AJC: "That bipartisan infrastructure bill — now law — will upgrade transit, rail, roads, bridges, seaports and airports across Georgia.

It will make an unprecedented investment in broadband internet access for rural and low-income communities.

It includes provisions I championed to remove lead pipes from our drinking water systems. It will build an electric vehicle charging infrastructure across our state. And it invests in the resilience of Georgia’s coast, helping local communities prepare for storm surge, coastal flooding, and tropical storms.

COVID relief legislation we passed at the height of the pandemic delivered economic support to families and small businesses, reinforced Georgia’s hospitals and health clinics with hundreds of millions of dollars in emergency resources, rushed over $4 billion to Georgia’s public schools and ensured lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines have been free and available to every Georgian."

https://www.ajc.com/opinion/opinion-ossoff-georgia-were-just-getting-started/M5ECG5OLZNC3ZH432RIBRL6E2I/

Senator Ossoff continues with his notable personal accomplishments and Democratic goals for the future.

"Meanwhile I continue to refuse political contributions from lobbyists and from corporate PACs. I don’t work for them or for any political party. I work only for you."

The real thing.
