We need a list of names of everyone who voted against the last extension and their office contact info. We will write and call them and we will help him fight for it. But we need to know who he’s having to fight. Someone please create a list of the voting record on the last extension bill, who’s up for election in Novemeber and we will help spread the word online.

My fellow 99ers, republican or democrat it’s all the same thing. By having two parties our government has divided Americans. The Government just wants your hard earned tax dollars and their cushy little government jobs. They just want to get re-elected!
As Americans we enjoy our freedom and life style and the Governmet wants to control that by controlling the economy and throw us bread crumbs to get our vote. Today’s economic depression was by design, it didn’t just happen. PLEASE SEE THE BELOW LINK that fully exposes their Strategy… Let’s not be fooled again and take our country back! Spread this around till we break them down!

“When people fear the government – that is tyranny;
When government fears the people – that is liberty.”
– Thomas Jefferson

The Government condones and practices –

Fellow 99’ers, just like you I’m not looking for a handout. How can we force a bill that forces employers to hire applicants over 50 first or be penalized? If they decide not to hire us then they would have to disclose a detailed explanation. Just like an “Older Aged Affirmative Action” bill. Age Discrimination is being swept under the rug and we have to fight back. All ethnic backgrounds prevail with this. Lets Roll!

The time for a revolution has come… The unemployed are being punished for something we didn’t do. The big money crooks are living in splendor on taxpayer money bailouts we didn’t approve while we are forced to live in unpleasantness at best. Let’s throw those bums out of office and get some new blood, we can do it as a team!
Our Government can only control us by dividing us. Don’t let them. Don’t let them send our children off to die in another BS War for nothing more then oil money. I’m a fellow 99er and will do everything I can to throw monkey wrenches in this BS System.
Don’t trust the Media as their only lap dogs for the govt.
Republican or Democrat, it’s all the same thing, two parties divide Americans. We need a leader that has the right connections to start the revolution… this will separate the men from the boy’s… We have our work cut out… ready to roll!

Bernie, I’ll fight with you. I have written the White House at least 4 times. I call or email Senator Brown almost daily since he voted against the extension. I have called Baucus and Pelosi’s offices. I called my Congressman when this was in the House, almost daily again. Now Republicans are blaming the Democrats for not including the 99ers in their own Bill. And the Democrats are blaiming it on the trouble they had to pass the Bill and said the 99ers would have made it worse to pass. No one will take responsibility. I will vote against anyone who is currently in office and not helping, and that is almost everyone. And I just got rejected again in the job market. How do you calm down in an interview when you know the job is life or death.

Republicans will not vote for the tier 5. Blame the Republicans…as I am a 99er, a single mom, have gone back to college, have looked for a job consistently for almost 2 years. I am so tired of hearing that we are just being lazy. I don’t know where they get there stats that each job is 1 out 5. Every time I have gone to an interview, they have had 1500+ for 1 position. This is Washington State and Oregon, I have applied for. I am skilled, was layed off after 13 years at the same job. I am trying my hardest and am getting no where, and can’t believe that our government is turning their backs on those who need help the most. Yes go ahead and fund the war, and the banks, etc etc…hey maybe you should throw in a raise for yourselves and take a vacation for a month, while we try and figure out how the hell to pay our mortgages and the rest of our bills…no worries government….thanks for the help…thanks for watching us all sink! Yes I am very angry and it is unbelievable to watch politics at its finest~

Bernie, I was replying to your previous comment about organizing to be heard. A revolution is NOT practical and will NOT work. There is a proper way of doing things. If we sound like radical lunatics, no one will listen. People die in revolutions. I know you are upset, but pursue this politely and within the system.

That’s O.K. Chuck!…
I don’t need it any more!
You guys took so long getting my State Emergency benefits, that by the time I get them now, It will be the second week of August, and I’ll be homeless on Monday!

Then I’ll have to spend every dime on first, last, and deposit on a new place, and then I won’t have any money for food or gas to job hunt…. bye the time it gets here!

So you go on your third vacation of the year!
I’ll stay here in Reno, Nevada, where the unemployment is higher than it was nationally during the great depression!

awwwwwwwww, they’re tired? gee, must be awful to be paid so highly and get weeks and weeks off with pay, and this lovely long vacation starting tomorrow….let me get out my tiny violin….. and STOMP ON IT because after the last two days of attempted suicide & cries for help among my friends on Unemployed-friends.com, I am literally SHAKING WITH RAGE AND FRUSTRATION. Ignorance is fast becoming an unacceptable excuse. The Senators, Republicans and President have been informed. Countless times. They know the hardships we are under. I voted for Pres. Obama and was so sure that our Democratic Senators would work for us and help us. They are, but please… Senators, can you not see that it just isn’t moving fast enough? People are getting desperate. You are forcing people to apply for welfare that isn’t there. Even the few people who qualify for it don’t get enough to make up for the unemployment that is taken away. Week after week, thousands of people will drop off the unemployment rolls and become 99ers – and then what? Seriously, what are we supposed to do when there are no jobs? How are we supposed to feed our families? How are we supposed to pay our bills and keep our cars going, and even bathe and care for ourselves? And you staffers have the f*cking nerve to say YOU are tired? That goes beyond insensitive to insulting. Cushy damn jobs with air conditioning & perks… STFU and help us!!! we paid taxes too, all the years we worked and ALSO OUR UNEMPLOYMENT WAS TAXED – which is f*cking shameful.

Well, The best I can say is,, please pass the word to everyone to vote everyone out of office, democrats and republicans, we need 100 new faces in office,, quit spending except for necesities,,,I called gmac and told them I cant make my payment this month, I called wells fargo and told them that I cant make my new lower payment, that they only dropped 50.00 with a modification, It really is the strategy of the government to do away with the entire middle class, the have’s and the have nots. We must stand together, replace all political seats, local, county, state and federal. The city I live in is giving pay raise’s this month, they say they have’nt had a pay raise since the end of 2008,, they said they may have to raise porperty taxs to pay for it, with the home values declining,,they are out of touch throughout the country..
Live on cash, don’t use the banks, start burying in a can…..god bless each of you!

Well then, pay for it with something! These people have already paid for it with the over taxation all their lives. If this was a disaster and people were losing there homes (in another country) we would find a way to pay for it. *******Well it is happening right here*******

When these people have no where else to go what will they do. No way to pay for there children. Maybe they will get desperate and turn to crime. Maybe they will show up at the rich politicians house who did not help the people.

This country was founded on ” We The People ” not ” They The Government”.

That is why we fought our own government(at the time England) because we became oppressed and repressed. They became too detached from the people.

This country is ” We the People “
