Coast to coast and across party lines support economic recovery package.

From White House website:

A group of 19 governors -- Democratic and Republican alike, from Oklahoma to Oregon and from Vermont to the Virgin Islands -- made a bold statement of bipartisan support for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with a letter addressed to the President.

"Families and businesses across the nation are hurting," read the letter, dated February 2, 2009. "Credit markets have seized up, which is affecting both business activity and consumer spending. Unemployment is rising sharply. While we all believe in the importance of free markets, we believe that the markets today need stimulating."

Governors Deval Patrick (D-MA), Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA), Bill Ritter Jr. (D-CO), M. Jodi Rell (R-CT), Jack Markell (D-DE), Charlie Crist (R-FL), Pat Quinn (D-IL), Chester J. Culver (D-IA), Jennifer M. Granholm (D-MI), Jon S. Corzine (D-NJ), David A. Paterson (D-NY), Ted Strickland (D-OH), Brad Henry (D-OK), Theodore R. Kulongoski (D-OR), Edward G. Rendell (D - PA), James H. Douglas (R - VT), Timothy M. Kaine (D - VA), John deJongh Jr (D-VI), and Jim Doyle (D-WI) all signed the letter.

We’ve published the letter, complete with their signatures, here.

Notice that Sarah "you betcha" Palin's name wasn't on the letter yet she attended the Alfalfa dinner event this past weekend to meet with Obama to talk business.

And this:

President Obama’s chief economic adviser Larry Summers said Obama “has been prepared to walk a long mile for bipartisan support” for the stimulus package, but that he won’t compromise on weakening the bill’s impact. Summers said Obama wanted to keep his tax cuts, including those conservatives have criticized, and said that if Republicans don’t support the bill, “it defines those who aren’t prepared to support major action to help the economy.”
