Congress leaves unemployed Americans in the cold

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 02:39:11 +0000

Hundreds of thousands of Americans will see their federal unemployment benefits expire this week, and millions more by the end of the year, just in time for the holiday season.

Papantonio: GOP Calls Unemployed Workers “Lazy”

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 02:42:59 +0000

Tom DeLay has lined up an entire cabal of GOP cretins like Rep. Dean Heller from Nevada and Steve King from Iowa, who have expressed their opinion that lazy, shiftless American workers are so thrilled to receive their unemployment checks that they have no incentive to look for work. Its no surprise that Republicans like DeLay were the ones most responsible for moving jobs out of the US to sweatshop havens like Saipan and India. In fact, the little runt actually helped American corporations get tax breaks for outsourcing jobs.

Unemployed Constituents Stand Up to Paul Ryan, Get Arrested.

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 01:36:15 +0000

September 6, 2011. Unemployed constituents, spurned by Paul Ryan on multiple occasions, were galvanized into action the Tuesday following Labor Day. After being unable to convince their representative to schedule a FREE public meeting following a week long sit-in, the members of his district converged on a one time only pay-per-view event far away from the majority of his constituents. At the luncheon, Paul Ryan’s unemployed constituents repeatedly stood to ask him what he was going to do about the jobs crisis. But, instead of addressing his members in need, Ryan had the unemployed escorted out by police and made petty remarks. In one incident, a gentleman in his seventies stood to confront Ryan about his stance on “entitlements” and was grabbed by police. He was then wrestled to the ground while Ryan joked, “Hope he took his blood-pressure medication.” Watch now and visit wisconsinjobsnow.org to demand Ryan hold a REAL meeting with his constituents.
