Help May Be On The Way For 99-ers.. says Sen Chuck Schumer of NY..
Sorry if this is a repeat... but it is such good news...

As you know... Congress recently extended UI until the end of November. This extension does nothing for the 99-ers.. the people who have used up their benefits.

By the end of November.. there are going to be millions more 99-ers.. just in time for a bleak Christmas.

Sen Schumer of NY is advocating a new Tier-5 Level extention. Please call your Reps and tell them to support Sen Schumer. Thanks.

Things are tough out here for the 99-ers and soon-to-be 99-ers.

1. Pelosi and Reid have already said no--I don't know if this is going to be reality.

2. I have heard.. that in order for it to happen.. the bill has to orginate in the Senate..
So that is one good sign.

We can't wait for spineless Nancy Pelosi and the Blue Dogs to shoot it down.

There are no jobs out there.. if we can at least keep Tier-5 alive... it is a glimmer of hope..
