UPDATE 4/14/2011:
KEEP H.R.589 ON THE CALENDAR...Please see our TAKE ACTION page
H.R. 589 now has 78 co-sponsors!
New Article focusing on the 99ers and H.R.589:
http://www.theroot.com/views/when-unemployment-runs-out-meet-99ers

The meeting with Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep, Bobby Scott, Rep. John Boehner & Rep. Eric Cantor has concluded. Rep. Lee said, "There was no argument about the situation" . The conversation revolves around funding, emergency funding vs. "paid for". An official ststement from Rep.Lee & Rep. Scott shall be posted upon it's release.

Continue to reach out to Rep. Boehner’s office as well as your Representatives requesting bi-partisan support for H.R.589 under the umbrella of emergency spending. If it is clear both sides of the aisle understand the problem, it is imperative both sides work to enact the solution, H.R.589 without delay. The calls, faxes, tweets and e-mails are making a difference!
More to follow... In the interim:

THIS IS GREAT, WONDERFULL, AND STUPENDOUS!!! 3 MONTHS OF "WE UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, BUT WE WILL ARGUE HOW TO HELP THE PROBLEM"!!

WOW!!! WE GET TO WATCH THE TWO SIDES FIGHT ABOUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT. THIS ANOTHER REASON TO WATCH CNN, MSNBC, BUT NOT FOX. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ ALL THE POSTS LIKE "WHY CAN'T THEY JUST DO IT" "THEY CAN GO TO ANOTHER WAR BUT NOT OUR WAR AGAINST POVERTY."

REALLY, THIS IS KEEPING MY INTEREST. I WONDER WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP? BUT WHAT I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO SEE, WHILE ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT, WILL ANYTHING BE DONE BEFORE THEY GO ON SUMMER BREAK?

I HOPE NOT, WHAT ELSE WILL I DO DURING THE SUMMER. HEY IF I'M GONNA BE SITTING HOME DOING NOTHING I MIGHT AS WELL KEEP POSTING WE NEED HELP, RIGHT?

AND BESIDES WHAT WILL WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IN THE FALL, A TIER 6? I DON'T LIKE RUSHING IN TO THINGS.

99 WEEKS NO JOBS. BUT AFTER 14 WEEKS I'M SURE THEY'LL BE MORE. I JUST WONDER WHEN THE COUNTDOWN STARTS TO GET OFF MY BUT.

I'm sure after HR 589 passes, there will be a new fight starting to extend the deadlines for the existing extensions. How long did it take last year...twice!

They do need to address job and do it now or by the end of the year there will be 35 million with NOTHING!

Idiots!!!!. They can't figure it out.

1. Stop the wars and send our troops home $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

2. Raise taxes on the rich and get our money back from the corporate hoarders that stole it.

3. Extend Unemployment after this to accomodate the ones who have suffered and are suffereing

4. Bring the jobs back by PENALIZING the American companies that took advantage of the corporate walfare a.k.a bailouts ( They penalize fraudulant behavior on Unemployment and other types of so called "walfare").

5. Sit back and let the economy and the American people recover and enjoy their lives.


This of course is too easy and b/c Washington has sold their soul and the people of America out to the corporate mafia it will NEVER happen, but it really is that simple. Greedy nazi Idiots. Its good being an American...sigh. pouty

Just checked Thomas.org - there are now 79 cosponsors - I believe the newest cosponsor is Howard Berman - democrat from CA.
