99ers Organizing To Rally for Tier 5 Unemployment Extension; CBO Estimate Questioned
February 8th, 2011, Michael Danielson
NREUI — the Nationwide Rally to Extend Unemployment Insurance — is seeking names and locations in an attempt to set up a massive, coordinated, peaceful demonstration to encourage Congress to enact a Tier 5 unemployment extension. The rally hopes to see at least 25 people at each of at least 50 unemployment offices across the country. They currently have less than two hundred names; if you know a 99er, send them a link!

Tier 5 Unemployment Extension – Where Have All the Advocates Gone?
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/7735696/tier_5_unemployment_extension_where.html
WasMiddleClass – You bring up some great points. I just read today that Americans will be spending 53 million on a new rail system? Now why I first argue wasteful spending, I wonder if it wasn’t part of the package deal by the Chinese loan. 53 million would be a great start in getting the homeless and unemployed off the street as well as build jobs. Yes? It will be interesting to hear the (talking out of both sides of the Mouth) In the coming months. Republicans want to stop the over spending but in the same breath want to send pork barrel spending on projects that could be placed on hold until the jobs increase and we get every unemployed (American) back to work.
sclark113- Supposedly Senator Lee is suppose to bring the bill back up today..that of course is after the who rah rah taking place this afternoon.

“Those who complain about the spending associated with this bill ignore two key factors. First, this bill costs only a fraction of what we spent on tax breaks for millionaires last year. Second, unemployment benefits have always been considered emergency spending.”

“The bill would provide 14 weeks of emergency unemployment benefits to people who have exhausted all their benefits and are still unemployed.”

The more clicks they get the more money they make the more money they make from stories about the unemployed the more they will write about the unemployed.
Remember to google “unemployment extension” “long term unemployed” and other such terms several times a day. We have won this fight before we will do it again.
If you did not get a chance to see the Ed Show last night, please take the time to follow the link provided – Ed was in rare form providing GREAT support for the 99ers and mentions a brief story about one of “Michael’s Plan” volunteers Gerry DePietro that attended the press conference in D.C. yesterday (God Bless her!).

I also want to personally thank all that have responded to my article yesterday – it did my heart good to see all of you respond. We all know that now is the time to quadruple our efforts again – we have been too quiet for too long now – it is time to shake the tree again – God Bless us one and ALL!

Tier 5 Unemployment Extension – New Unemployment Claims Data for Feb. 10’TH

Scott- Thank you so much for your continued effort to help the 99ers. I did post on the latest story you wrote. I am not sure of others but I am finding it hard to get work and I’ve tried everything short of holding up a business and demand work. We need to drive a petition that the HR 6556 Bill Be priority in both Houses. 99ers that are not out on the street live only on hope, those of us that can continue this fight need to make the unheard voices herd once and for all. If we can raise 1.5 million signatures and call it an emergency Bill
they be dammed not to hear us.
Just had to share this with everyone, his guy’s a diamond in the rough!
