"President Obama and Speaker Boehner are continuing to negotiate a fiscal cliff package which may include an extension of federal unemployment benefits which are scheduled to expire on December 29, 2012 if Congress doesn't renew them."
Don't stop here, WRITE TO YOUR STATE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE!

How are families supposed to tell their children that after this holiday season, they might not have a place to call home? How is it my fault with over 500 applications to jobs put in, that I still can't land a job after 6 months? I can only pray Congress gets a grip and makes a decision soon
