WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tune in now to AFGE's "Inside Government" for more on efforts to renew the payroll tax cut and long-term unemployment benefits. The show, which originally aired on Friday, Dec. 2, is now available on demand.

Campaign for America's Future Co-director Roger Hickey discussed the need to extend the payroll tax cut and long-term unemployment aid for middle class workers. Hickey also addressed job creation and protecting workers' collective bargaining rights.

But first, author Dan Roam and Hooks Book Events President Perry Pidgeon Hooks were interviewed at the recent Excellence in Government Conference. Roam, who wrote "Blah, Blah, Blah: What to do When Words Don't Work," explained "vivid thinking" - combining one's verbal and visual minds - to communicate and solve problems. Hooks then discussed connecting authors such as Roam with federal government agencies to improve service and performance.
