Can we survive? Two More Weeks Before We See ANY MONEY

REMEMBER WE NEED TO VOTE     VOTE     VOTE   THE  REPUBLICAN PARTY OUT..
WE NEED TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE….. HERE IS ANOTHER REASON..
TOMORROW IS ONE WEEK AFTER THE UNEMPLOYMENT BILL WAS FINALLY PASSED.  WE HAVE FELLOW AMERICANS (We The People)  whom have been without money since JUNE 2, 0210 
AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT WILL BE A COUPLE MORE WEEKS BEFORE WE RECEIVE ANY MONEY.
I have spoken to many many people.. some of which have sold all their personal belongs (and not at what they paid for these items)  families who have  had to split ..Father’s taking one child to his parents home. Mother’s taking other child to her parents.
HOW DARE THE REPUBLICANS DO THIS TO US…. THEY ALL NEED TO BE VOTED OUT
Read below from The Washington Independent…
Even after the unemployment bill was passed the REPUBLICANS  refused to agree to let everything proceed immediately  than made it go another 30 HOURS… HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO US…
The legislation retroactively grants extended benefits — additional weeks of unemployment, tacked on to state benefits where the unemployment rate is higher than 8 percent, and maxing out at 99 weeks — to June 2. (States are overloaded dealing with the backlog of recipients,
“but expect benefit checks to start rolling out in two weeks or so.) HOW CAN WE LAST THIS LONG..
 The extension lasts through Nov. 30. It does not create any new benefits, and does not extend the $25-a-week Federal Additional Compensation
 

Today, Democrats repeatedly berated Republicans for holding up the legislation. Once the Senate gained cloture on Tuesday, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) requested that Republicans agree to waive the 30-hour waiting period until a final majority-rules vote, as is customary. Republicans refused.

On the Senate floor, Reid blasted them. “The Republican leadership, supported by the overwhelming majority of its caucus, has stood in front of the burning house and said: Everyone wants us to put out the fire, but we’re going to sit back and wait a while before we turn on the hoses. That is a disgrace that brings shame to this institution. But more than that, it hurts the very people we were sent here to help. Why would someone in public service do such a thing?  Why would they be so callous? … I simply don’t know. I am at a loss.”

But Republicans continue to see the fight in terms of the budget. “Hard times require hard decisions,” Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said on the floor. “What we are seeing is the easy way out.”  REALLY EASY WAY OUT FOR WHO?   EASY FOR THEM TO SAY WHEN THEY HAVE

“”MONEY TO LIVE ON.. EASY TO SAY WHEN THEY WALKED OUT AND SPENT A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR DINNER IN THEIR FAVORITE RESTURANT EASY FOR THEM TO SAY WHEN THEY TAKE A FIRST CLASS PLANE RIDE HOME SO THEY CAN SEE THEIR FAMILY…HOW DARE THEY WE NEED TO TAKE A STAND VOTE ALL REPUBLICANS OUT….VOTE     VOTE     VOTE  WE NEED TO BE HEARD

 

I am a 63 year old Great Grandmother who worked her whole life. I managed and marketed apartments and hotels. I am on a mission. I was never political. My opinion was whom ever was in did what they wanted so...it was just a matter of opinion Demarcate or Republican. I NOW KNOW HOW WRONG I HAVE BEEN. We the people need to stop the Republican Party by showing our displeasure for MAKING US GO WITHOUT FOOD, ELECTRICITY, ALLOWED PEOPLE TO BE EVICTED FROM THERE APARTMENTS....ON AND ON.. over the Unemployment Issue.
