Unless Congress passes an extension today, Unemployment Benefits will begin to expire for millions of Americans. Shamelessly, this will occur while your Representatives and Senators are embroiled in an argument concerning an extension of Tax Cuts for the most wealthy of Americans.
I urge you to write your Senators and Representative and urge them to extend the benefits for a year with an immediate floor vote.
