| It's just plain wrong that people cannot count on Washington to help them during tough economic times.
Sadly though, it's what we've come to expect from Republicans like Congressman Jeff Denham. Congressman Denham has helped lead the charge against providing the unemployed with the benefits that will help them buy food, pay rent, and spur real economic growth by putting money back into the economy.
The important thing to remember is that these folks lost their jobs due to no fault of their own, are required to be actively searching for work, and have previously paid into the system to receive these benefits. To put it simply, they earned these benefits and there is no excuse if Congress fails to provide them.
Sign our petition telling Rep. Denham and Washington Republicans to extend these benefits now!
If we can reach 2,500 signatures, I will personally deliver the petition to Congressman Denham outside his local office. I will tell him that it's about time he do the right thing and help the unemployed for once.
Thank you,
