The show is certainly faith-based, however, one does not have to be a Christian to appreciate the value of the information. The information helps everyone who is frustrated with their personal situation and the inaction of government and how a positive attitude can change the effectiveness of your message. Be that in a job interview, contacting a member of Congress, or even in daily communication with your fellow citizens.
Paladinette also mentioned the effort which is going to begin on April 30, 2010 and May 3, 2010. The M-A-Y-D-A-Y S.O.S Fax Attack and On The Record are additional actions your fellow unemployed will be participating in very soon. The "On The Record" campaign is absolutely brilliant. At JoblessUnite.com there are step-by-step instructions to get your message, yes, your message directly on the record of the Senate Finance Committee. Please be professional and courteous when submitting this by US Mail. Remember, the message that you send will be on the record in the United States Senate forever.
With these efforts to get Congress to muster the "political will" to act in addition to all of the calls, emails, and online petitioning so many have done, hopefully we can all make a difference for the 500,000 (there has to be more than that number) who have lost all assistance from UI. According to articles released today by the Examiner and Gather, those who have exhausted all benefits from Unemployment Insurance need as many persons taking action as possible.
Both of these articles mention a Congressional staffer stating:
"It's not that they don't want to help," said the staffer. "But there is that calculation that you can only juggle so many legislative balls at one time. And while unemployment is important, is it more important than the Supreme Court or financial reform or immigration?"
