Attention all Unemployed Americans who need help: Phase III begins Monday
PLEASE READ AND AND SIGN THE PETITION THE LINK BELOW
For months now, we the long term unemployed keep trying to find the magic bullet that will get the attention and action from Washington to save the lives of millions of struggling, desperate jobless Americans and our families.
