For weeks, Republicans in the Senate have blocked unemployment benefits for Americans out of work due to the recession. Their filibuster means millions of people lose their unemployment checks, and the entire economy suffers because of it.
If thousands of us stand together, we’ll focus attention on this issue -- in DC and across the country. Sign the open letter below, calling on Republicans to stop their obstruction and let the Senate vote on benefits for the jobless:
Senate Republicans --
We stand together to support unemployment benefits for those who have lost their jobs because of this recession.
Refusing to vote on this issue isn’t just wrong; it’s wrong-headed.
Sincerely,
Your Signature
