WASHINGTON (AP) - The Democratic National Committee is launching an ad campaign in politically key states to try and rally the public behind President Barack Obama's new jobs plan and pressure a divided Congress to act.

The television ads show portions of Obama's speech to Congress last week promoting the $447 billion package of tax cuts and new spending. They urge viewers to "Read it. Fight for it. ... Pass the President's Jobs Plan."

The spots were to begin airing Monday and are the first round in an effort that will last several weeks, said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse.

"The president has a plan to create jobs and help middle-class Americans get ahead and this effort is intended to communicate that plan to the American people and for the American people to communicate their support for his plan to their representatives in Washington," Woodhouse said.

It created several million jobs because of NAFTA as far as I am told.
Unemployment will soon be down below 5%
