I'm lucky, I have a job, but many of my friends and family have not had jobs since 2008. They are desperately looking for work, but have needed unemployment benefits to live. However, Tier 3 and Tier 4 benefits have been exhausted for thousands of Americans and thousands more expire each week.
I'm sure you know these people. Currently, there is no motivation by Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi to even consider a Tier 5, so I found this website which will send a petition to them. They need 7,500 signatures and are so close to the goal! Please help. Thank you.
