Murphy plan would support jobs

I'm supporting Chris Murphy this November because he supports specific steps to rev up our economy. His opponent has a carefully crafted image and dishonest ads, but Linda is "all hat, no cattle."

Chris Murphy has introduced the "21st Century Buy American Act" in Congress. This would ensure that when the federal government buys goods, those tax dollars - our tax dollars - support American jobs.

Linda McMahon refuses to support this plan. Linda should renounce her own record of sending jobs and business overseas and support this fiscally responsible plan to create jobs now.
