Joe the Plumber Headed to Israel to Find Other "Average Joes"

CitizenSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:30:32 PST

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, known during the 2008 Presidential Campaign as "Joe The Plumber," is leaving his home fix-it-man days behind him and says he's going to Israel as a war correspondent for Pajamas TV. He told the media he plans to spend 10 days covering the fighting and that he wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story."

Joe became a symbol of the campaign and public figure after he asked Barack Obama about his tax plan and later joined John McCain on the trail. Are you interested to see Wurzelbacher's footage and his quest to share the experience of average citizens, or do you think the plan is too contrived?

Front Page: Joe the Plumber Speaks, Social Security Benefits to Rise, EU Firm on Climate Goals

CitizenSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:00:42 PDT

Joe the Plumber Speaks:
After being the star of last night's debate, mentioned conservatively a dozen times, "Joe the Plumber" has come forward. His name is Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man who wants to buy a plumbing business. He had spoken with Obama in Toledo this week, and told him his tax plan would prevent him from buying the business. He said of being the example of the night, "It's pretty surreal, man, my name being mentioned in a presidential campaign." He won't say who he's voting for - if he's registered - "That's for me and a button to know."

Social Security Benefits to Rise:
Social Security benefits will go up 5.8 percent for 50 million people next year. It's the largest pay rise in more than a quarter of a century. The increase will begin in January and will mean $63 extra per month for the average retiree. The raise is double increase from January this year.

EU Firm on Climate Goals:
European Union leaders are resolved to meet their targets and timetable for addressing climate change, despite objections from some countries. Worries that given the global economic situation cutting greenhouse gas emissions will be too costly has caused some countries to threaten to block the plan. French President Sarkozy says, "The climate package is so important that we cannot simply drop it, under the pretext of a financial crisis."
