Thanks for letting us know you called Congress!

Please take a moment to let your friends know about this campaign. With benefits for 2 million people on the line between now and the end of the year, it is really important that we get as many people to call Congress as possible.

Thanks for all you do!

Tell Congress: We need help for the unemployed, not tax cuts for the rich!

Customize your message

This holiday season, over 2 million Americans will be cut off from their existing unemployment benefits. The TANF Emergency Fund, which subsidized 240,000 jobs for low-income families and youth, has yet to be renewed by Congress. With the unemployment rate continuing to hover at 9.6%, 5 job-seekers for every available opening, and the number of long-term unemployed continuing to climb, now is not the time to cut programs that help people get by.

But as of now, Congress hasn't even scheduled a vote on extending jobless benefits, and conservative leaders have vowed to put their energy for the few remaining weeks of this Congressional session into extending the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy. The same lawmakers who say our country cannot afford to maintain benefits for the jobless want to extend tax cuts for the rich that will cost the nation more than $700 billion. There is something seriously wrong with this logic!

***  CALL NOW AT 1-877-662-2889  ***

Until there are enough jobs, we must continue the programs that serve as a lifeline for millions of unemployed Americans and their families. Tell Congress to extend Unemployment Insurance and the TANF Emergency Fund until the economy recovers, not tax cuts to the rich.

Please let Jobs with Justice know you called!
