Would you leave your neighbors out in the cold?

Of course not. Now we need your help to make sure Congress does the right thing. Millions of jobless Americans — over 6 million in 2012 — will be cut off from the emergency lifeline of federal unemployment insurance, unless Congress acts to renew the program before it expires December 31.

Call 1-888-245-3381 NOW and ask your Members of Congress to support immediate Congressional action to renew the federal unemployment insurance program through 2012.

When connected to your Members' offices, please tell them:

• Your name, where you are from, and that you are a constituent.
• Please tell _____________ that I strongly urge the Congress to act now to renew the federal unemployment insurance program through 2012. Thank you.

After you place your call, please call back to be connected to your other Members of Congress. Every call matters.

Not just because it's the holiday season, but because it's the right thing to do — we need to stand up and make sure Congress extends the federal unemployment insurance program. Nearly half of all jobless women and women have been looking for work for six months or more, but there just aren't enough jobs to go around. And, because jobless workers spend these benefits quickly to make ends meet, unemployment benefits are one of the best ways to boost the fragile economy. Cutting off these benefits now would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs next year. Congress has never allowed these benefits to expire when unemployment was anywhere near this high. Congress must act, and act now.

Please call 1-888-245-3381 today and ask your Members of Congress to support immediate Congressional action to renew the federal unemployment insurance program through 2012.
