Rep. Earl Blumenauer sent us all an email today.

He said that of the unemployed "...more than 1/3 of the unemployed have been out of work for half a year or more. Studies have shown that even as their financial position deteriorates, they are much less likely to be hired even if qualified.

He wants to pass legislation that will "... restore (unemployment insurance for the long term unemployed) and provide the unemployed the help they need to continue their search for work.About 20,000 Oregonians lost their unemployment insurance when the program expired. Without action an additional 29,000 unemployed workers in Oregon will lose their benefits in the first six months of 2014.

He doesn't say that his party has been responsible for the economy over the last five years. He doesn't tell us that there are now 90 million individuals who have given up looking for work. If we want to fix the economy, let's hold those in power of both parties responsible by voting them out of office!BTW, Earl voted for Obamacare!



BTW, again. Never vote for someone who uses the finger to lecture us.
