With respect to the Constitution of the United States of America and the National Flag of the United States of America:
From Jason, co-founder of Save the 99ers:
Save the 99ers will shift its' focus to foster solutions other than the advocacy of government aide. In short, this issue is part of a bigger picture to undermine our civil liberties.
What is happening now is what Teddy Roosevelt feared 100 years ago:
"The absence of effective state, and, especially, national restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise.... Therefore, I believe in a ... graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate." - T.R. 1910
This is the process our nation is taking to move toward an oligarchy government.
We have added a new Poll "Has our nation been under attack from within?"

If you still agree Government should extend unemployment benefits to the 99ers then you may still sign [here]. In any case please use our forums to discuss solutions and to remember to keep an open mind and a keen eye on the "big picture." We as a people must unite based on the common good of humanity especially now since so much dis-information is causing division. With all the mud of information out there in-mind, I believe that eventually truth always prevails if we don't destroy it first. Warm Regards, Jason Page

Quoting Jim:
This morning another report came out that there were fewer new claims - yet another reason to END all benefits in November. I sincerely believe the REAL rate is over 50 million unemployed or underemployed.
Looks like Senator Stabinows bill may not even be introduced until
after the election - simply put, we are being ignored
Any suggestions on how to help ourselves more than we are trying right now? I'm out of ideas. I suggested to my senator that they require us to do community service for our unemployment extension- that would give current experience, help our self esteem, and let us help them where they need it using each of our unique skill sets. I was told thank you for sharing my "difficult" story, and that the other bill was being looked at- the over 10% states, even though that wouldn't help us here in WA State...that was last week, now no mention of any bill is being discussed. It's all about getting the votes from the rich now...
OK, listen up everyone especially all 99ers.
The TEA PARTY people won yesterday and this bodes very poorly for ANY TIER5 extension as they want to not only CUT US OFF but ALL extensions, so there is a very good chance that November 30 will be it for ALL extensions, including those already drawing (you will get to finish out your claim and that will be it). President Obama and even the democrats want to see improved employment numbers and they will because 200,000 are falling into 99er status each Monday and our government then considers us "employed" and no longer a statistic - its a numbers game.
