99er Tier 5 Daily Plan of Action Beginning NOW - How bad do you want it Nation?

This is the 99er Tier 5 Daily Plan of Action beginning now and continuing throughout January, the only question is: How bad do you want it? Do you want this bad enough to consider these daily emails, faxes, and phone calls like the job you do not have now? Do you want it bad enough to recruit all of your contacts in your address book and ask them to do the same? Will you post this plan of action everywhere you can to reach as many people as possible?

The new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, R-Ohio - wants to hear from America. I suggest we all answer the call every day several times per day! His website invites all those outside his district to contact him... Gee Pelosi did not even do that! Live outside Ohio's 8th District? Contact Speaker John Boehner http://speaker.gov/Contact/default.aspx or speakerboehner@mail.house.gov

We need everyone with an email address to contact these addresses relentlessly! I myself have 11 email addresses and am sending 3 per day from each one of mine.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) announced on Jan. 7 that he would be collecting the resumes of the unemployed to "dramatize the shameful condition of unemployment and compel action to do something about it." For those wishing to participate in Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s resume collection/awareness program, resumes can be sent via e-mail to ResumesforAmerica@mail.house.gov

or by traditional mail to:

Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr.

2419 Rayburn House Office Building,

Washington, DC, 20009

***Now people it is true that we have done this before - BUT we did it on our own and nobody really was the point man in Washington DC to collect them and do anything with them! I would like to see hundreds of thousands of emails sent to this man every week. Send your own not once but several times and get your contacts to do the same.

U-Cubed is the union of the unemployed. If you are not a member then you are going to miss out on one of the most significant vehicles we 99ers will have this year to effect the change unemployed Americans need to survive and eventually THRIVE!

Get on U-Cubed now today. When you get send me a friend request Paladinette. We need an army of folks fed up enough to take this fight to victory. Check out the following by Joyce Bond at that site: UNION OF UNEMPLOYED CALLS FOR CONSTITUTIONAL JOBS AMENDMENT

DID YOU KNOW:
As many as 244,000 unemployed workers are missing out on receiving much-needed unemployment benefits, says a report by UnemployedWorkers.org.

In a long and bitter battle late last year, Congress voted to extend unemployment benefits an additional 13 months in states suffering from high unemployment. But 10 states eligible to receive the federal assistance have yet to pass legislation to accept the funds. Those states are Arkansas, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. WTF are they thinking ??

99ERS UNITE AS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH
You are encouraged to spread the word everywhere Unemployed Americans congregate paste that link and tell them to JOIN it is FREE and the leadership of this union ROCKS!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: I was just able to confirm before today’s Jobless Talk Show that Rick Sloan will be my special guest next week and he will take your calls too so Bring your U-Cubed questions next week and get them answered by the MAN himself! Mr. Rick Sloan on Jobless Talk January 21, 2011.

I encourage you to cultivate that fighting spirit within you - DO NOT GIVE UP OR GIVE IN TO depression and apathy as they truly are your enemies every bit as much as some may feel certain members of Congress have been to the unemployed. BUT DO NOT USE THAT as an excuse to indulge your lessor angles or demons by physically harming people you feel deserve such. That is insanity and has no place in a civilized society. If you use your anger as a motivating force to propel you off the couch and into the visibility of taking it to the streets - YOU MUST allow your humanity to direct and guide you. Love is far more powerful than hate.

Theodore Roosevelt (my favorite President ever) said “Believe you can and you're halfway there.” another relevant quote of his that I LOVE is - “The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything.”

Oh how true that is! And hopefully it can help explain the missteps we have suffered together in the 99er Nation over the past year especially! We made mistakes, fell short of our goals and within our community have wasted precious time, energy and momentum by often fighting amongst ourselves. Speculation on what may or may not work, on what was being reported that may not be true or whose ego was running rampant. Most of that rubbish was offered up by ignorant wannabes who were envious of those who actually got out there and tried to do what we could to make things happen. Some criticism may have been justified but should NEVER been used to attack those within our ranks willing to do whatever it took to be heard and help in any way possible. I feel so strongly that the ONLY failure truly is not to try and keep trying until we find what is going to work!

When I write my articles I am attempting to do just that. I try to do so in a way that stirs up 99ers from their justifiable discouragement and inevitable apathy! But Not ever as a call to violence and I assume my readers are intelligent enough to understand just that....but I’ll be damned it there aren’t alway a few real thick headed commenters out there who either really still don’t GET IT about me and what I always try and do or if they are just playing dumb in order to justify their own laziness not wanting to participate in these vital campaigns. We cannot just do one thing people. We need do do it all every chance we have to make our voices and need heard NOW!!!


Let’s get her done 99er Nation!!!!

On a side Note: My graphics genius Bud Meyers from Bud’s blog has been getting a lot of national attention recently from CNN and other media outlets re: his press Release yesterday that read more like a suicide note. Some concerned 99ers actually tracked him down and phoned the authorities to preform a welfare check on the resident of Los Vegas, NV.

From Huff Po today: DAILY DELANEY DOWNER - A Nevada man who's been out of work nearly two years wrote on his blog Thursday that he's tired of being tired. "As I see my life winding down in about three more weeks I have pondered the absence of relevance in my past life, and the lack of significance my passing will be to the world," wrote Bud Meyers, a 55-year-old former casino bartender. Bud's out of money, he wrote, and facing eviction in less than a month. "I'm tired of hoping when after all I've had for over two long years has been isolation, loneliness, disappointment, anger, frustration, and depression while engaging in useless efforts to find work and survive. But no matter how difficult that has been, now I must face the stark reality of the last three weeks of my life." This was apparently construed by somebody as a suicide threat. Bud told HuffPost two police officers paid him a visit yesterday. "They said one of my Facebook friends contacted them and feared I might try to kill myself because of that article," he said. "I said whoever read my article misconstrued it." CNN's Ali Velshi said on-air today he saw Bud's story via Twitter. "Bud, I think you're listening, so hang in there," he said. "You're not forgotten by everyone. You're in our heart and thoughts." Hang in there, Bud! [PRLog]
