Friday, October 23, 2010 The U.S. State Department announced it will be offering $2,000,000,000 to the Pakistani military. (Yes, that's TWO BILLION DOLLARS.) The Pakistani military, infamous for its corruption and human rights abuses, will most likely accept. Meanwhile come November, Republicans in the U.S. Senate will most likely halt unemployment insurance for anyone who has been out of work for over 6 months, translating to MILLIONS of people being cut from the safety net they have contributed to their entire working lives. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
And let's not forget earlier this month, Conservatives in Congress essentially added 240,000 more Americans to the ranks of the unemployed. However you frame it, people who want to work and have been working are soon to be out of work, thanks to GOP Senators members who refused to reauthorize — even for three months — a stimulus program so successful it won praise from Republicans like Mississippi governor Haley Barbour.
Call your elected officials NOW. And, if you have a Republican in Congress or the Senate, please become active -- tell as many people as possible how horribly unfair, unethical, discriminatory, and tragic this is!
