A quick blupdate on the Unemployment Extension situation

Incredibly, I recieved yet another e mail from Senator Burris (D-Il) who sent a promise to me that he would continue his fight to secure our extension, which he views as a priority. We need this. He understands the economic impact that the loss of benefits will mean to the state of Illinois.

Observation of proceedings on the House and Senate continue apace. I have been tuned in to C-Span on my computer at all times, even when I am out of the house. We know that eventually the extension WILL happen. It MUST happen. The negative impact it would have on the economy as a whole is bigger than I suspect they realize.

For now I will go. I will return after I get some sleep. I am physically and mentally exhausted.
