Unemployed set to rally.

House Representatives are scheduled to be back home for meetings with their constituency during the week of March 21 - March 25. During their constituent work week, 99ers are planning rallies at their local offices in
support of H.R. 589

Thanks for sharing, getheminNOVEMBER.

March 21...is a long way off. What do we do until then? What happened to HR589? MIA?

So are our Congressmen/women! MIA and having fun while we wonder how we will get through each day. I will be attending the rally tomorrow night in RI to show support for the WI workers. I'm sure there will be many, many unemployed people there as this state is a complete wasteland when it come to jobs.

So Desperate..you are saying that congress will not be in session this week? Is this true? Please advise..do you have the congressional calendar?
Thanks,
Ellen

ET, they are taking a week long President's Day holiday. Beyond that I'm not sure.

No problem one thing I am good at is spreading info. I am going to reach out to 99ers I have seen in the news and others who are active and outspoken. I am tired of messing around. Its time to recruit.

Great idea gethem!

Please members reach out to your unemployed friends and family and get them involved.

This is what I heard from Rhonda Taylor about HR589: The bill will not move without the republicans willing to get it out of ways and means committee and speaker of the house willing to allow it to come to the floor.
It really, really looks bad for us.

Crewof42...gave us (the 99ers) a tu:

We have to make the Republicans look bad for not allowing it to come to the floor. Have to get something organized, twitter, email and media attention. Need everybody to do it. People have to realize they must get involved and not sit back and let just a few do the work. I am going to try to get to the Statehouse here late this afternoon for the RI rally.

That video about Mark's suicide drew a lot of attention on twitter for Sick & Tired and when I posted it on my FB page, I got a lot of comment from good friends who weren't even aware of how bad things were.

The unemployed really have to pull it together now, no more time to waste. No reason at all why we can't do what they did in WI.

I.m not going to make it another week,and we are talking about a rally in the third week of march.To little to late for me.Thank you UF for giving me some support and hope the last few months.I am to tired to go on anymore and to be let down so many times. john

@trotter39...I hope you get some work. I know, I feel the same way. Let's chat ok? I am going to the chat box below now.
