99ers!! H.R. 3638 - The Restore the American Dream Act has been introduced!! Lets get this bill passed!
http://american99ersunion.com/2011/12/13/the-restore-the-american-dream-act-has-been-introduced/- This section extends unemployment insurance benefits through January 3, 2013. Further, this section will increase the length of unemployment eligibility from 99 weeks to 114 weeks to provide relief to the long-term unemployed. Unemployment compensation creates consumer demand to fuel the businesses that create jobs.”

I couldn't get the link to work. When will they vote on this? This would sure be a blessing and a lot different than what they are voting on today!

HR 3630 will never pass the Senate! It isn't going anywhere. If it does pass the House, all that is going to do is stall any reauthorization of the current program, probably into the next year!Marian wrote:I sure hope that this does pass, but with this Repuplican Congress who knows...?

I will try to locate the bill number assigned to the CPC's proposal today.

Thanks!
This is the first time that I've paid a lot of attention to what Congress is doing and it is making me wonder how these people get elected! Yikes! These Repuplicans are arrogant Moderated who don't think things through! This HR 3630 is the most convoluted bill with too many things thrown in to the mix including slashing our benefits...

It has provisions to create 5 million jobs and pay for it by taxing higher incomes progressively and taxing financial transactions. It will end the war in Afghanistan and cut base military spending.

You can now read the full text of this bill. Section 1702 reads about adding weeks to tier I for 99ers.

I pray this bill is not dead in the water. it appears as if its still alive for now, it will be a fight for sure.

Yep, they will... They are horrible! Hopefully, with the 99% Group fighting for the people and it being an election year this stands a bigger chance despite the GOP...

Marian....
Does this include help for Exhaustees or 99'ers. I believe it does? We need to do something, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold on. Living with a friend who pays for everything and she is WAY FED UP with me, almost ready to have no place and getting $200 in food stamps, thats it...the only help.
I am calling, faxing, emailing, tweeting, facebooking ect. Just frustrating no help and Most of Congress seems o.k. with that.

Yes it does include help for 99ers. It would also create 5 million new jobs, among many other good things. I just updated the thread about this the other day because they finally attached a bill number to it. I was so glad to see the text of the bill!
Im going to merge the threads and incorporate this title in with the other one.

I am not sure what makes this bill different from the original, before they added the part "for the 99%", was it just a name change or contents too? Anyone know?

According to Thomas.gov, it is only a name change:

I doubt the bill will even make it out of the ways and means. I wanna be wrong but there talking about cutting weeks. It's horrible because the jobs arnt there the reports look good but that is because holiday jobs. Also PA's ue rate has went down but still the part of PA I am from the UE rate is near 12% but the overall PA rate has went down just not right.

.It sure would! creates 5 million jobs, adds weeks for 99ers, among other things. I cant see how they can refuse it, but "they" (GOP) will try
An ESSENTIAL part of a democracy is an informed electorate.....
Both parties are composed of many "unenformed" people..
watching the ed shultz show when he mentioned that we have the tea-partiers to thank for backing some of the more radical rightwing governors, and giving the American people a glimpse of what the radical right wing wants, thereby stirring the Ocupy movement into action accross the world......
I have faith that the majority of people want what is best most of the time...they are just so uninformed till it hits home....
to paraphrase winston churchill "the american people will do the right thing, after exhausting the alternatives".....
This time around there really is some attention being drawn to the rightwing, more and more so...
By the way it really galls me to see the right harp on about "the constitution"
when one of its primary duties is to protect minorities from "democratic/mob rule"
