Can you take a photo to help create jobs?

MoveOn.com is making the following request:
"Yesterday, President Obama spoke from the Brent Spence bridge over the Ohio River about the vital connection between jobs and infrastructure repair. It's shameful that our bridges are literally crumbling while construction workers are unable to find employment. America's infrastructure needs work, and Americans need jobs. The solution is obvious: Put people back to work repairing our bridges, dams, highways, schools, and the rest of our failing infrastructure.

"We're putting pressure on Congress to pass a jobs plan that does just that. But we need to make the problem visible. That's why the American Dream movement is setting out to find and photograph the jobs that need doing—and we need your help.

"Can you take a picture of a job that needs doing in your community? Can you help out by adding a photo of infrastructure in your area that needs repair?" Go to http://www.civic.moveon.org/jobs_photo_petition/?id=31329-12137366-lOMAqkx&t=3
