Where’s the disconnect? When did it happen, and why? Moving Forward Through the Storm…


Photobucket


Peace, Love, and Harmony:

Where’s the disconnect? When did it happen, and why? Unemployment, Katrina, Haiti’s Earthquake, other storms, trials & tribulations of life… Is the disconnect poverty vs. classism?  The have’s and the have not, although many have been impacted by these particular storms of life the greater affect seems to effect those who have minimum resources, reduced incomes, ultimately financially challenged. 

In the case of the unemployed millions of hard working Americans experienced having the rug removed from underneath the feet.   This affected the working poor to Main Street.   Their entire way of life changed in the blink of an eye, and when this occurred and they initially applied for what is set aside for them unemployment insurance.  Well, as we known UI benefits don’t last forever generally 99 weeks maximum, and after that as in the current case an extension is needed especially based on the current outlook of our economy.  But, where is the relief?  People are loosing hope & faith and in some cases committing suicide.

Katrina and Haiti’s earthquake common denominators lack of resources, lack of buildings regulations in place, let alone being applied, and poverty.  This isn’t to say that some with financially resources weren’t affected, but the higher impact was to those without.  This is clearly demonstrated in a series of documentaries that Spike Lee has been committed to.  Reflecting this by letting not only these voices speak out but to show evidence of the current conditions between these sister cities.

“When the Levees Broke”, Part 1 & 2 of “If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise recently aired on HBO.   First, I must say if you didn’t have the opportunity to watch this check the schedule because it’s a must see.  All of these documentaries are a must see and should be recorded.  It was even noted as a commentary on one of the morning shows it should be placed within high school and higher education as apart of the curriculum.

At the end of the day apart of the common solution is 'Peace, Love, Harmony, and Unity'... We must continue to find ways to work together, because sometimes the powers that be don't really have our best interest in mind.   Leaving times and moments within our history when dealing with these economic and natural disaster resolutions to those that have a heart & conscious to step in position and do what they do best.

We've seen this implemented when we're faced with these situations, the best of people and the worst of others.  It's time for us to unite, stop hating on one another and embrace our beautiful differences, our uniqueness is what makes us ever so special...

Oh,  check out Michael Thornton of Examiner with his ongoing reporting related to the unemployment urgent issue:


99ers will continue the legislative campaign to call-in, email, and fax until a clear & immediate resolution is fully implemented to save us from this economic attack.  We're in the field in the trenches, and they can learn something from the rule of thumb applied in the military.  Oh, they need to also keep in mind that some of the unemployed are veterans of wars, and they have left them behind in more ways than one...

Status on the 99ers Bill ‘Americans Want to Work Act – S.3706’ and More…

ESpiritE Ad

Status of the 99ers Bill' Americans Want to Work Act - S.3706' and More...State of Emergency, Time is of the Essence, ASAP RESPONSE REQUIRED NOW. As previously noted Sen. Schumer created this bill, Sen. Stabenow and other democrats co-sponsored and introduced it last week. Next steps will not begin until after the Summer legislative recess September 2010. That is the bill will go to the Congressional Budget Office a.k.a. CBO then to the Taxation Committee.

This process is simultaneously, then to the floor for debate, voting, passage, and the Presidents signature. One may ask what's in the bill basically it adds a Tier 5 thereby extending benefits for 20 weeks. It also includes business incentives i.e. tax breaks, to encourage businesses to hire and especially 99ers long-term unemployed for a period of 52 weeks. 99ers the long-term unemployed have exhausted 99 weeks of eligibility to receive benefits.

The reason the movement of the 99ers is demanding assistance is truly based on the fact the economy still hasn't turned around to the degree that has encourage employer to hire. The other issues arises is many who are 40+ are being told by employers they're to old [age discrimination].

Currently, there are 4 Emergency Tiers: Tier 1 = 20 weeks, Tier 2 = 14 weeks, Tier 3 = 13 week, and Tier 4 = 6 weeks. Extended Benefit = 13 weeks + 7 weeks = 20 additional weeks. Regular unemployment outside of the emergency Tiers = 26 weeks.

Thursday, 8/12/10 at 1:00 p.m. 99er groups & several media outlets will be present at the Wall Street Rally to gain additional support for the movement and this bill...

The Conversation Continues on Unemployment and More..."State of Emergency" > "Time is of the Essence" > ASAP. 99ers Bill 'Americans Want to Work Act" Facebook page "Leave No American Behind" Inspiration Hold On During these Times, Extend Unemployment for the 99ers". Within the next 2 weeks the legislature will be recessing for 6 weeks not returning until September. Long-term unemployed the 99ers would be gravely impacted if this occurs. They need action now meaning another bill and/or executive order.

The bill needs to contain an extension to Tier 4 plus adding additional tiers, current there a 4 Tiers. 99er's in most cases have exhausted all 4 tiers and require this type of extension to survive. The bill just signed last week HR4213 extended benefits for approximately 2.5 million Americans.

"Americans Want to Work Act - S.3706" the bill was been introduced by Sen. Stabenow, created by Sen. Schumer with the support of other Democrats. Estimations such as 14.6 million unemployed, 4 million 99ers plus 50,000 per week adding to that number at 200,000 per month. Yet, legislators left for Summer Recess...

Times are extremely difficult for many and everyone doesn’t have the strength to endure. The strong must stand up, inspire, & encourage our brothers & sisters with less hope & faith during these times. Time to unite; we’re only as strong as our weakest link. Last week I saw a few YouTube videos that broke my heart for Americans who lost hope & faith and committed suicide.
