ATTENTION ALL 99ers URGENT ACTION NEEDED

Dear ----- -------

I am writing you today as a long term unemployed American. In a time when unemployment is so high, when there is one job for every five job seekers, millions of Americans simply cannot be left behind. We are tax paying citizens that are responsible for each and every one of you still being employed. We deserve to be treated better than this. Your colleague Representative Conyers recently introduced H.R. 870, the Humphrey-Hawkins 21st Century Full Employment & Training Act. Combined with H.R. 589 to provide temporary financial relief for those who have exhausted benefits until H.R. 870 can be implemented it is simply the right thing to do, both for the economy and for millions of Americans unable to find work in it.

Respectfully,

An AMERICAN CITIZEN,

FYI - I believe our admin, CIK, drafted this letter, right?

Thank you so much for reposting my announcement to the 99ers.
Now everyone can read it without the HTLM code messing it up.
I don't know what happened, but no matter what I tried last night everytime I tried to post my announcement I could not edit it to look right, it just kept going in the the code language.
