We need to make a stand as americans ,and take this country back.<br />We pay taxes for 30 years plus that pay theirs outrageous salaries and when we need them they turn their backs on us. Hey congress you want to find a way to make things right. look at the salaries and perks federal employees get,bring them down to the average privater salary. I know personally a secretary salary 100k per year plus all the perks bounses, @ 40 hrs per week .

Oh no, not to finally get down there and protect American lives or jobs or sovereignty by enforcing federal law or protecting the border (as is the President's job), but by finding a way to circumvent the law, the Congress and the will of the American people again by signing an Executive Order granting amnesty to - not one - not a few - but to all of the millions of illegal aliens in our country.

Please do not do so before this time.<br />What to Bring: Tent, water, lawn chair, talents and skills list, notepads, pens, clothes, pillows, deodorant <br />Why: To put a face on the unemployed and for our very survival. <br /><br />Without assistance we will lose our homes. Without assistance we will not be able to feed ourselves nor our families. Without assistance we will no longer be able to continue our job search. The time has come to stop begging for help but instead to demand it. It is not our fault we lost our jobs nor is it our fault that we cannot find new ones.<br /><br />It is time to unite as one and put a face on the unemployed. It is time to unite as one and show our leaders that we will not just die off quietly and alone. If we are to die, we will die together for the world to see.<br /><br />My brothers and sisters, within our ranks there is a collective talent unlike the world has ever known. Within our ranks there is a will to live and pursue happiness. We must unite, while we are still able, if we are to have a chance.<br /><br />On July 2nd, gather your belongings and join us on the national mall in Washington DC. Bring tents and plenty of water because there we will stay until our leaders start to have compassion for the people of this great nation. Please bring with you a list of your talents and skills as well as a copy of your resume. The lists will be used to organize our collective abilities – the resumes will be used as fuel for a bonfire.<br /><br />Together we can forge our own futures and mold our own destinies. Together we can and will form the greatest resource this world has ever known and our first headquarters will be located on the mall in DC.<br /><br />Our government will witness, on their front lawn, our collective suffering as well as our will to survive. Our tents will symbolize the loss of our homes. Our bonfire of resumes will symbolize the lack of jobs. We will be fed and if we are not, we will die of hunger together for the world to see.<br /><br />If by July 2nd our government has failed to show us compassion, unemployment assistance will not be enough. We will also demand housing, office space and grant money to fund our movement. We will create our own jobs if none exist. Make no mistake, no one will go hungry and no one will leave until they have either created their own job or found one elsewhere. Together we can and will define our own futures while putting a face on the unemployed. <br /><br />Now you must help spread the word of this event anyway you can. We must unite if we are to survive and the time to do it is NOW! Individuals are needed to help lead this movement. Send an email to lols01@aol.com to become one of those leaders.<br /><br />Our ranks will surely grow as time goes on but initially we must be strong in numbers for this to work. The first ones on the mall will be the ones that make the biggest difference as well as the ones this nation will never forget.

No Republican voted to end debate, which would have advanced the bill. Florida's senators votes were split: Nelson voted for debate to end on the measure, LeMieux did not.<br /><br />If no other bill is proposed, more than 200,000 people a week will lose their jobless benefits. In Florida, more than 34,000 residents a week are losing their benefits since federal emergency benefits expired on June 2. The Senate has been debating various versions and amendments to the bill for eight weeks, with Republicans arguing the unemployment payments would add to the federal deficit.<br /><br />Is this the end of the unemployment extension?
