It is time for ALL to step up to the plate. Those of us whose words you read online can not win this alone.

If you never posted anything online before, now is the time to jump in. We all did it once.

Stand up and fight, or lay down and die. The choice is yours.

It has been three years of fighting for me, but I will NOT lay down and die EVER!

I hope you viewers will join us. We need you!

This is our final stand!

On second thought…it is not even really off topic.

They are revolting because of high unemployment, high food prices, and a government that doesn’t help the people….

Well fellow 99ers, step 1 is now completed & make no mistake about it, we have billions of steps yet to take. Thanks to the morons that voted the Tea Party crapheads into office in November, we have a very steep mountain to climb. If there’s going to be movement on this bill, it had better happen fast. Congress has been hooking us with this crap for almost a year. If this is another game they’re playing…well most of you know the action’s I want to see take place. As far as I’m concerned, they have a very short window of opportunity to do the right thing. The fly in the ointment is going to be the tea party scum, who have already proved they’re going after anything that those that need help the most needs. As far as I’m concerned, this is their, Congress last chance. If they let this one die like they did 3706, thats all she wrote. There’s gonna be a war. There needs to be a war. Obama is just as much the enemy as the ‘pubs, the ’dems & the Tea Party. We have few friends that’ll help

I’ll go off topic here for a moment because this is so serious.

Plan on civil war in Egypt. The implications for us are many…

Here is one credible source that is reporting what our media is not.

Do you have a scanner that you can scan something into after you mark-up the changes you want to make manually? If so scan it in and send it to tier5for99ers@gmail.com and I’ll see if I can figure a way to re-create it in word the old fashioned way…I’ll re-type it! No scanner…there’s always snail mail.

Hey McDermotte just mentioned the 99ers! on C Span

To continue further on the flyer for unemployment offices…

From what we have seen so far it looks like most labor departments and state governments will support a plan to lobby Congress for this bill, and even pass out the flyers themselves if they are worded correctly.

Maybe our states are the support we need!!!

“WE THE PEOPLE of these United States” Created by our forefathers centuries ago.
Who is “We”?

WE are the homeless and less fortunate then the 1% Billionaires
that reside in this country and abroad. WE are the unemployed who have faught
hard and with a clear purpose. WE are the individuals that have never forgotten the meaning of what 1 dollar is worth. WE are also the people still working but know that WE can be put the same position as my fellow man that is not currently working and WE THE PEOPLE of these United States will leave no stone un-turned until every man or woman is re-employed.

This bill must be fully supported, put out on the floor and passed now. It is time we Americans take care of our own people and this is a start.
We need to stand up to our government and make our country strong once again.
BUY ONLY MADE IN USA!!!
