Sign this petition, so that we can send it out and have Unemployment Extension Extended to 52 weeks. With the Unemployment Rate, being the highest it has been in the last 16 years, 6 and 9 month of Unemployment benefits just are not cutting it. 700 Billion dollars were used to bail out Wall Street. But what about Main Street Every week more and more of my friends and family are losing their jobs. If you or anyone else you know, is currently unemployed, then you should sign this. There is strength in numbers, and if we get enough signatures, we can show the Government, that we have a voice, and that they can't deny it.

The momentum is undeniable. This is proof that people are paying attention to the crisis on Main Street.

I have worked since i was 16 years of age! I have paid into this unemployment just like everyone else has! So bottom line is we paid in now give us our money that is rightfully ours! Unemployment stopped Dec 28th 2013 and now instead of helping us they seem to be helping other countrys which we should come first!!!!!!!!! extend the unemployment extension because it is what is rightfully ours!!!!!!!!!!
