We Need To Focus And Act Upon Critical Events NOW! Immediate Actions for Every Member and Visitor!

Hello friends, I feel that we need to focus on the events happening in the next several weeks, and taking essential actions required of us should be our highest priority by far.

This Forum is open to discussing anything. But right now focusing on what we need to do as a last strong effort for our cause might be best than to discuss politics till the cows come home... at least for the time being.

Our actions may be able to change the outcome of decisions to be made in the next several weeks. On the other hand, it's unlikely that politics and our analysis will bring any immediate relief to the unemployed friends.

So please have faith and take part in anything suggested.

Thanks.

**** Please see the actions being posted below. If you have others that we should contribute to, please post them. Thanks! ****

(1) ACTION REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY...

Please all join us. We need everyone's help.

Well said, X!

(2) ACTION REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY...

Signing the 99er letter. Have you done this yet?

http://www.unemployed-friends2.org/t199-unemployed-friends-letter-for-99er-s

See MaryKay's next post for detail on Action 2.

Using the link x provided. Just post your name and state, I will gladly add it to the signatures and include when emailing.

There is also a link to tweetdeck. You can download this for free and tweet the letter to the Senate, Congress, White House, Congressional Black Caucus, Progressive Caucus or anyone you want. We would love to have all 99ers included in the letter as well as their families and friends who have added support.

I will stress however, the #AskObama twitter town hall is not the venue for this. They are requesting short and to the point questions.

I am urging, no I am begging all members to join in for this, it's time for the President to hear from all of us and hear out pleas, questions and fears. If you don't want to ask directly, we will do it for you. We have already started. Thanks to all for helping, this is our chance.

Keep asking those questions! They are being tweeted and retweeted! Let's get some answers!

Please, keep those questions coming. 99ers have long been out of time, let's not let it happen to the long term unemployed. I can tell you from personal experience, it is not where you want to be. Many others can tell you as well.

I am out of tweets, so if someone wants to follow up on this to make sure 99ers & jobless will be included:

These are good examples of tweets, couth11. Getthem, would you please repost these questions showing how to use the hash # tags? I think that would be helpful for people to see.

Note: According to Twitter, the questions that will be chosen for the Townhall tomorrow are the ones that have been retweeted over and over. Keep going!

Thanks to everyone for RTing- By another profile, do you mean a second twitter account?

Hi Couth11, yes another profile = another account. If you use tweet deck then each one can be a separate column and you can choose which one to retweet or tweet from.

Those of you using TweetDeck should setup one column with the search criterial

#AskObama AND (#99ers OR #HR589 OR #jobs OR #unemployed)

This will show all questions related to our cause that President Obama is asked and uses any of the tags within parentheses.

Let me know if I missed a hash tag please.
