Worried, I am especially disturbed by many of the comments that Melissa has made. Since when does color have anything to do with how we vote?? I think you are thinking back from an era your parents told you about!!!! Come on., lets be mature here!!!!! I am also a 99er, but I know that color has nothing to do with the big picture (by the way, I am white)

Please do not vote for any Republican candidates in November!!! They tried to block all of the Unemployment Extensions. They said that they worried about the debt and do not care that we are dieing (The unemployment people)!!!
The Republican Party are interested in supporting the big Corporations and Multimillionaires/Billionaires. In addition, they are trying to ship all of the jobs to oversea!!! so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!!! This is the Principal Doctrine 101 of the Republican Party!!! They tried to screw all of us, 99ers to get poor and poorer so they will tell us what to do!!! they do not care for us, 99ers!!! They used the psychological warfares to interfere other countries like: Human Right, Freedom of Speechs, Freedom of Religion, and so on so they interfere other countries to benefit for them. The animals has the Right to live, but we, the unemployment people, does not have the right to live or survived!!! Please do not vote for any Republican Candidates in November!!! they are the blood suckers, likes Vempires!!!

How can you vote for the party of “NO”? All the G “NO” P’ers think about are the tax cuts to the wealthy which have already shown not to work. The Republicans have no soul. They hide behind religion and the right-to-lifers. They have handed us all our hats. Putting them back into power will accomplish nothing. I can give you more than a hundred reasons why I could NEVER vote Republican but I wont waste any more of your time.

I am a single mother with 2 daughters.. 45 years old. My ex husbend left for a younger woman and has not helped with our children. MIA.. I have worked my entire life. I have never had to be on unemployment and would prefer to always work and take care of my girls.. I am now a 99er. I have applied for 100s of jobs.. online and I have went into companies so I can bring in my resume personally.. Thr are no jobs.. and its seems that we have so many people looking that the companies are tending to go with younger individuals if thy are actually hiring. My last unemployment check was in June. I have no savings left. Now I am looking at not having a home for my girl and I. I am scared to death. I will not give up my search for employment and am trying to stay as positive as a can with out completely breaking down. I am e mailing my resume out ..but now have no gas to go out and personally try to get SOMEONE to hire me.. Without teir 5 my girls and I are in serious trouble. I can not understand why thy did not add a teir 5.

Hmmm…. Two or three million 99ers with high-powered rifles converging on
Washington D.C. on September 11th. Wouldn’t that be an interesting sight.

We don’t need to worry about “illegal immigrant criminals” taking the jobs of
Americans. We really need to be concerned about the off-shoring of American jobs
through legal channels. We need someone with courage to propose a tax to make this
practice far less profitable, or we must wait 30 years until the salaries and
standard of living of all people across the globe catch up with that of the U.S.
This off-shoring menace is a fire out of control. It must be put out or permitted
to take its course until it burns itself out.

Too bad our politicians don’t remember the oaths to the American people they took
when entering office.

At the very least, I believe the Republican Party wants the 99ers to go homeless
before November 2nd. Not too sure you can vote without a place to live. And if you
can vote while in a shelter or on the street, then I suppose they would want the 99ers to starve and die off before November 2nd. Perhaps this is the only logical
thought behind their madness. One can only wonder!

This country needs a major revolution in order to “correct itself”. I wonder when
we’ll see the military shooting at homeless and hungry men, women and children
bearing sticks. This is not outside the realm of possibility if major change is not
introduced very soon.

I am a parent who pays child support! My support was always taken from my UI. I am 10 months behind in rent but have lived in the same place for 18 years. My landlord has been great throughout this, because my daughters were born here, and he went thru the depression. Tier 5 will get my children the support they need and allow me to maintain the place they were born, with the compassion of my landlord. I will be able to eat, pay utilities, and essentials as well! I’m 58 years old and getting a job at my age has been impossible, I would like to just survive. I hope Washington figures this out before I am homeless and the affect on my daughters is detrimental to them as well!!

Illegal immigraton? Why didnt george and dick do something about it when the problem became so apparent during their administration? These people on here want to follow the constitution! They need their unemployment extended. In case you havent watched the video, maybe you should. You need to go guard the border if your concern is more about illegal immigrants! We are the 99ers that the republican party reduced to poverty! The democrats had nothing to do with the immigration problem that occurred on the republicans clock!!! Go help some hungry children or better yet get your gun (Annie Oakley) and go guard the border yourself!
