Help the millions of 99ers who have exhausted all our unemployment benefits, had our lifelines cut off, but have been unable to get a job. We need—and deserve—financial assistance now—until we can get back on our feet in an economy still in recession and with unacceptably high unemployment rates.
Why is this important?
I'm one of the approximately 5.5 million long-term unemployed "99ers," who have exhausted all our unemployment benefits, had our lifelines cut off but, through no fault of our own, have been unable to get a job. We need—and deserve—financial assistance now—as for us, the recession never ended and unemployment is still very high.
