Republicans are EVIL

Thanks for posting mistermunster. Arthur Delaney is a long time advocate for many causes including the unemployed. I sent him my information and a copy of our letter.

I encourage all members to do the same. Huffington Post has a huge readership. (I hope that's proper english). If he is willing to do the stories, send him yours. We need support and help from everywhere, this is a great start. Extended Unemployment Benefits Not Turning Jobless Into Slackers: Study 34243
