No help for the jobless? No vacation for Congress!

Chris from South Carolina used to work in an unemployment office. Then he was laid off. Here’s his warning:

You should know that Congress has let the emergency benefits lapse several times in the past few years and always when a break is scheduled for them. It happened last Easter and last Christmas. They don’t care about the unemployed. They take their holiday break and deal with it when they return to Washington. Don’t they realize they work for us?

Tell Congress: “You work for us. Renew emergency unemployment aid now!”
