Re: Have you taken ACTION yet?
Now I'm going to send Boehner, Cantor, and Pence (my district rep) faxes again using my husband's name because he is a 99er too and is only working part time.
I wonder why the confirmations said that my one page faxes were sent but, the fax I used was the letter that I downloaded from The American 99ers Union Take Action page and it is two pages when I open it. I guess it must all fit on one page on the faxes and just doesn't on my Word document.

Emailed the same form letter but also wrote my own letter with my story. I signed both member of American 99'rs Union. I really can't afford to fax because I have to go to Office Depot to do it. I am calling also.

Re: Have you taken ACTION yet?
I can't afford to pay for faxing either. I'm using the free web faxing links that are on the take action page and I just upload the letter into it.pugsrit wrote:Emailed the same form letter but also wrote my own letter with my story.

But, it doesn't matter which way we do it.

I prefer emails. I figure that wheter it is a fax or email it is going to come out in their computer anyway. I also called my Congresswoman's office

Some of those sites also give you the option to just put the letter on there so, you don't have to upload anything. I downloaded the letter that is on the 99ers Union site for us to use and all I had to do was put my name and address on it.Jen wrote:I can't afford to pay for faxing either.

I also posted a comment on the facebook pages of John Boehner and The Ways & Means Committee. I'm going to check and see how many other Reps I can find on facebook.

Let's hope, but Obama just keeps ignoring the 99ers so I don't have a lot faith in him doing anything new.

The campaign is today (Monday March 28th) and tomorrow.
Please check in if you have taken action yet. I did it in less than 10 minutes.
Here is a sample letter. Please idenify yourself as a member of the American 99ers Union.
Dear Representative,
As both your constituent, and Member of the American 99ers Union, I must request your immediate support of H.R. 589, The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Expansion Act. This important piece of legislation must be signed into law without delay in order to save American lives and stimulate the economy back to health.
The American 99ers Union supports legislation that sustains once hard working Americans, stimulates the economy, and assists in getting Americans back to work. H.R. 589 accomplishes all of these goals.
Look at where the American economy is without extending unemployment insurance and investing in its Citizens:
1) 1 million homes were lost to foreclosure in 2010.
2) The National Unemployment Rate has remained at 9% or above for 21 consecutive months.
3) Defaults on student loans are growing by more than $2,800 dollars per second.
4) 147 banks shut their doors in 2010, as a result of a weak economy and soured loans.
5) According to projections by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Income tax payments this year will be nearly 13 percent lower than they were in 2008. As a share of the nation's economy, taxes collected this year will be the lowest since 1950.
With jobs in the business sector and at the Federal and State level declining and/or anemically moving forward, it is clear that we need to invest in America and Americans in order to help our economy back to health. By extending unemployment insurance to the longest-term unemployed, the unemployed can help bring the economy back to health, as consumer spending accounts for 70% of all economic activity. Therefore I must once again respectfully request that you join as a Co-Sponsor, and vote yes on H.R. 589, The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Expansion Act.
Sincerely,
[b]Member, American 99ers Union[/b
