Families Stand Together - from Sesame Street

The entire video can be viewed online at the following url: http://www.sesameworkshop.org/toughtimes

Approximately two out of three middle class families are at high risk of sustaining or losing their economic security. Too often, parents are being forced to make difficult decisions that affect their childrens well-being.

In response to these recent changes in family economics, Sesame Street has produced a primetime special, Families Stand Together: Feeling Secure in Tough Times. This hour-long special, hosted by Al Roker, Deborah Roberts and Elmo, aims to help families with children, ages two to eight, experiencing difficult economic circumstances by offering strategies and tips that can lead to positive outcomes for their childrens physical and emotional well-being during this tough economic climate.

I love how they say it's no one's fault. Of the American people, yes, Mr. Monster, but all the fault is solely on the politicians in the Capitol building and White House, and all the greedy companies out there.

Does anyone know the name of the song that Elmo sings with his family? It is really beautiful and touching.

The first family with the kid that said,"Most of the time." is my friend at my school so I support him.

I liked to see Elmo tell these families to save money by not buying his merchandise.

I just watched this actually. My wife was at work, I'm a stay at home dad like one of the families in this program - so my wife was at work when this was on TV.

This was so powerful that I hit the internet trying to find a way for my wife to later see it. If there is any way possible to view this online, or even be send a tape in the mail (I would happily pay) - please send me a reply.

This video could really affect our relationship durring these tough times :/
