Extrend unemployment benefits
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 10:55 — Bump56I hope this does not fall on deaf ears but It needs to be said. If you have ears let you hear that the unemployment issue has become an issue of morells. In the words of C.S. Lewis " It will not bother me in my hour of death to reflect that I had been had as a sucker by any number of imposters; but it would be a torment to know that I refused even one person in need."
