Done. It's time to stop spending money on war profiteers and start spending it on people, infrastructure and JOBS, preferably green jobs and jobs cleaning up messes and enforcing protections on our wilderness and wildlife.

SEND THIS TO AS MANY SENATORS AS YOU CAN!!!!
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO PUSH THE LEGISLATION THROUGH ON THE EXTENSION OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MOST OF US DEPENDING ON EXTENDED BENIFITS HAVE WORKED ALL OF OUR LIVES, AND ARE DESPERATE TO RETURN TO WORK. I HAVE'NT HAD A CHECK FOR MORE THAN 7 WEEKS! I HAVE JUST 3 MORE WEEKS TO PAY THE UTILITY BILLS. AFTER THAT IT WILL BE LIGHTS OUT, NO HEAT, NO INTERNET, NO PHONE, NO GAS FOR THE CAR, NO CAR INSURANCE, HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO EVEN LOOK FOR A JOB?
