Grass Roots Effort To Extend Federal Unemployment Benefit Weeks Gains National Attention

Looking through the stories regarding any news that may pertain to extending the weeks available for the longer-term unemployed who were left out of the latest extension, a very encouraging article surfaced that demands national attention.

Unemployed-friends.com has championed a grass roots Congressional contact campaign called, "Unemployed Will Be Heard".

Armed with the power of simply spreading the word to it's forum members to contact their elected representatives, this action has earned national attention today as it appears in Google News results posted by mlive.com. A respected news organization from the state of Michigan.

Please take a moment to join unemployed-friends.com. Registration is quick and easy and the cause is good. It is the reporting of grass-roots movements such as this that will get Congress involved in assisting those who have exhausted or are near exhausting benefits. Great reporting by MLive.com and hopefully this and other grassroots movement gain more attention from the press and from our members of Congress soon.

usunemployed.blogspot.com gives Kudos to unemployed-friends for leading this campaign and we plan to join and support this campaign. The more voices the better. Unemployed-friends.com is right.
