Unemployment Insurance Vote Soon?

Yes, thanks for the website, Mike, and your informative feed. It's passed, yahoo! However, let's not forget what this has been like for all of us. This was in the House of Reps in mid- September, voted on, passed, it's been held up in the Senate for nearly 7 - 8 weeks, while all the republicans tried to get their 'crap' added to this bill. How many people lost the roof over the heads, are sleeping in cars, have no food, lost power, etc...? remember the 'republicans' and their efforts here during the next elections!

On to the house. Hopefully they accept the senate version and vote on it quickly. Then to the president's desk.

Thank goodness, what happens now?

It's passed. Over 60 votes so far.

Agree'd thank u washington independent for your constent coverage!

I agree with the blogger below you Mr. Lillis and the Washington independent deserve an acknowledgment and the thanks of many who were probably able to keep from jumping off a roof top due to your accurate and compassionate reporting. I am also amazed how little coverage this event received.

Well Mr. Lillis thank you for your work. Thank you Washington Independent for giving the forgotten a voice even if I don't like all the voices at least everyone got to express the view.
