$5 Trillion for Ungrateful Banks; No Help for Bank Victims/Long Term Unemployed

March 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Already nearly 1.2 million long term unemployed in American have lost their only lifeline. By the end of March another 2.8 million and in April, 3 million more will join them - teetering on the brink of homelessness.  There is a grass roots movement in this country by these folks who really WANT JOBS but are or have been holding on (barely) with the help of jobless benefits.  There was a cheesy little video uploaded to YouTube a few days ago, that has already has about 5000 hits.  It is only 6 minutes but tells the story and exposes the lie Congress told the media about extending vital unemployment programs through the end of 2010. It is called Tier 5 to Survive: The MOVIE and is rapidly becoming the battle cry for the millions of long term unemployed in our country.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEDDTxRrtK4


Washington abandoned millions of long term unemployed by failing to include any help in their "so called" unemployment extension in HR 4213 even though the Senate sold this in the media as "extending vital emergency benefits through the end of this year". Truth is they lied. ENOUGH of the little 6 week extensions for only a few states. The economy will not be fixed in 6 weeks. The long term unemployed in all 50 states need Congress to extend the weekly benefits through the end of 2010 and hopefully do it before their Spring Vacation. We cannot wait.
