Save the 99ers: Petition to bring back benefits to those no longer qualified...

Chicago, IL, United States
Created July 25, 2010

The Issue

 

This petition is to stop the discrimination against the 99ers and to save the 99ers’ and reinstate our benefits! 

Ninety-nine weeks of unemployment is now the maximum allowed by law in any given state with Federal and State extended benefits, hence the term 99ers.

The proverbial 99ers’ are hardworking, tax paying citizens who have paid into the system for years and never asked for a penny until now!

The 99ers’ are people who want to work, but cannot find jobs! Employers are choosing younger applicants over older to save money in benefits. The 99ers’ are losing from both ends in every situation. SIGN THIS PETITION to support and save the 99ers’. We need to help our unemployed citizens who have worked for our country for years!

By signing this petition you are letting the Senate, the House and President know that we have a voice.
