Barbara Lee's Meeting THIS Week.. Empty Barbara Lee's Meeting THIS Week..

Post by concernedinKY Sat May 07, 2011 4:09 pm

Just want to take a moment to urge people to hit Barack Obama where it'll be heard most BEFORE this meeting.

http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/o2012-other-questions-or-comments

We all know they're looking to 2012 already.

Be brief, be polite, be firm.

Dear Mr. President,

As a tax paying, voting, American citizen and a member of the American 99ers Union, I must insist that you seriously consider Representative Barbara's Lee's words when she addresses the long-term unemployed (the 99ers) and her bill H.R589. There is still only one job opening to every five unemployed Americans. Recovery is sluggish and slow at best. Americans want jobs, they must have help until there are enough jobs. Our economy simply cannot recover with millions of Americans unable to purchase even the most basic of necessities. Every one dollar of unemployment benefits returns an estimated $1.61 to the economy. Leading economists have stated that extending unemployment insurance to those hit the hardest in a recession is one of the number one ways to stimulate the economy.

Respectfully,

Your name here.



Also, if you tweet, be sure to flood @BarakObama and include #99ers #HR589 and #jobs as hashtags in your tweets.

Barbara Lee is taking our cause to the Big Man AGAIN, but her voice can't be the lone one. We must include ours and we must be 'loud'.

So happy to read that Rep. Barbara Lee & the CBC no longer refer to the longterm unemployed as 'chronically unemployed'.....now using the correct term.....

Gives us three days to fire up the White House switchboard, Obama and the White House twitter accounts.

First is there any information from the last supposed meeting?
Anything at all...... no....
Why am I the only one that notice that they hold these things every thurs.
When there is nothing more to be done in that week.
It's now about to enter summer, almost the middle of the month, and close to their
summer break and still no solid good news.

Just more waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and draging.
Didn't the president know how bad it was last yr, didn't all of them know before when stabenow introduced her bill.
Where is she now and why is she silent.
What the hell is really going on here!?

Look, I truly thank her for keeping the issue up I do.
But jesus christ what is holding this up now if they were all aware before in august.
what the hell they think changed from august to now.

I really feel like it's some type of mockery going on here.....

Good morning Doreenb! Here is what I found at the Crew of 42 site.

THURS @2:30PM: CBC to Meet Obama @ the White House (I image this is eastern time)
"Again, the 5 major initiatives the CBC will again push for with the President are:
1. A push for budget strategies to end systemic long-term “pockets” of poverty (also known as “10-20-30″).
2. A push for a redistricting task force and focus on Section 5 of the Voting right Act.
3. A push to designate unemployment extensions as an emergency so it may be funded without a “payfor” (H.R. 589).
4. Funding for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), other programs assisting the poor.
5. A push to fund NIH programs that focus on health care disparities and the office of minority health."

Here's another link about the meeting.

"WHITE HOUSE, TODAY @ 2:30PM. The CBC plans to make a presentation to President Obama today on unemployment and social programs during a meeting at the White House. The meeting is the first group meeting with President Obama since May 10, 2010. CBC Chair Cleaver and the 4 member CBC executive board met with the President on March 30, 2011. That meeting was a table setter for the meeting this afternoon. During that Oval Office visit, the 5 members presented five priorities to the President. They included a focus on systemic poverty (aka “10-20-30″), help for the long-term unemployed (aka “the 99ers”), a redistricting task force and funding for programs to assist the poor (aka Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF)."
