Emergency unemployment compensation extension through 2014

Please continue to help the people who are in this position due to the economy being so bad. This money will help thousands of people who truly need it to get by. I know it has been very helpful to me, so I can take care of my two children (babies) while I search high and low for a new job. Please just think about us and how much it will affect us all if we lose this. Thank you for your time.

Why is this important?

I am starting this because I am one of the honest ones actually looking very hard for a job to support me and my kids. I will be in big trouble if I lose this money. I just passed the nj civil service exam with an 85% to work in a court but I'm 246 on the list. That will never get me a good job. I'm so hurt and scared and frustrated. I just want a good job so me and my babies can live without struggling. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.
