For those that are without benefits

99ers)

not encouraging nor reassuring. The
99ers aren't
fascinated with 'additional' benefits
4 months from now and so this projection does not elevate many (current)
99ers interest when they're (
99ers) trying to figure out how to make ends meet for the following week. Congress needs to know that there are
99ers falling off the wagon
NOW and Congress must do whatever it takes to make something as
immediate as possible happen,
not in 4 months. Each week more and more
99ers are helplessly left without options.
NOW is the time for Congress to know about the urgency,
4 months would be
out of touch with the problem that's mounting on a
DAILY basis. Let's do what we need to do to communicate
URGENCY in the halls of Congress. Many (
99ers) can not make it from here to
4 months. This is too serious to get
complacent and to be encouraged by help
4 months from now. That may help those that are
not 99ers YET and the
complacency of speaking about 4 months may come from those who are
pre-99ers, but
MANY (
99ers) are
beyond that and that has to be addressed
SOONER than later. We need a
TIER V, but not in
4 months. Let's make that known to
whomever in Congress needs to hear it.
