I am a 99er and still think we are being railroaded with the government statistics. After they told us that after February they were going to have numbers to let them know how many 99er's have lost their jobs. They just want us to think they really have jobs for the unemployment and underemployed finding jobs out there. I have been unemployed for almost three years. I have sent 1000's it seems almost millions of resumes by now just to be told that they keep my resume on file. I am tired of hearing that phrase, my unemployment ran out in November and to avail my husband also was laid off in March.I have never been late on my bills all of my life,since I worked 30 yrs in the Medical field and our facility downsized. We have had to borrow money from our own children who are also struggling with my grandchildren. When are they going to help us we need it ASAP. You have millions of families struggling and losing their homes or family structure. What is this country coming to? Surely not caring about the American families only Wall Street other countries when we need to keep our homes and be able to pay our bills, along with trying to drive our cars to find jobs with the gas prices going up. Why in the he**l don't they want to help us? We keep being dropped off all agenda's in their little meetings. Hell our President can't even mention us or say the 99ers. What is he afraid of we are just as good as any other individual in this country. We have worked hard for our money and this the thanks they give us by treating us like Sh**t!!!WE NEED HELP NOW AND START HELPING US NOW AND STOP FIGHTING LIKE A BUNCH OF J**RKS!! THAN YOU WONDER WHY OTHER COUNTRIES ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRIES. WE NEED TO START FIGHTING FOR OURSELVES!! I KEEP CONTACTING MY CONGRESSWOMAN AND I HAVE NOT HEARD A WORK FROM HER OR ANYONE THAT I CAN E-MAIL. PLEASE HELP US NOW!!

What is really needed is an extension that is retro-active and continues until such time as the TRUE unemployment is below 5%. Based on what Bernanke has stated that high unemployment may last another 5 years and ALL the unemployed do NOT have 5 years to wait

12 99ers showing up for the Press conference does not warrant coverage unfortunately. Until the numbers grow and the involvement grows then the 99ers will not get the media coverage it deserves.

Now is a Tax time,I wonder if the IRS still wants that a 99ers,who didn't receive any income for the last 12 or 18 months do have to file taxes.

I believe that those in WA.DC have forgotten all of us. Even the news networks dont even mention anything about us. Our president doesnt say anything about us. I quess no one cares about us anymore. I really hope this meeting video makes it to WA.DC.
