U.S Senate Candidate Al Franken and U.S Congressman Jim Oberstar were here to announce the proposal of a new stimulus package.

Franken says Congressman Oberstar inspired the proposed deal that is expected to create thousands of jobs nationwide while repairing the nation's infrastructure.

Oberstar and Franken propose to take money President Bush currently has earmarked for Iraq infrastructure repair and spend it on roads and bridges across America.

"My plan will create 150,000 jobs, put money in the pockets of middle class families who are going to spend it and at the end of the day we'll have repaired a significant part of our infrastructure."

The candidates propose creating a 7-billion dollar revolving loan fund for infrastructure projects in the U-S.

The proposal must go before Congress for approval.
