S3706 Debbie Stabenow Americans want to work act. Tier 5 unemployment extension.

"Earlier today, I introduced the Americans Want to Work Act, a bill that would provide 20 additional weeks of unemployment insurance to people in states like ours with high unemployment, Senator Stabenow wrote. This "tier five" of benefits would be a little different from the other tiers of unemployment benefits, however, because in addition to benefits, it would also include a tax cut for businesses that hire workers who have been looking for work the longest".

"Now, this bill is going to be tough to pass. The last regular extension was blocked for over three months in the Senate. I expect it will be an uphill battle to pass legislation to create this new tier, Senator Stabenow wrote. But I also know this is an important fight for Michigan families who have been hit the hardest by this recession -- and I'm willing to lead that fight."

"I want to hear stories from families in Michigan so I can explain the importance of this bill to my colleagues from other states, Senator Stabenow wrote.You can share yours by visiting my website at http://stabenow.senate.gov/email.cfm. I will continue fighting for families in Michigan by working to create jobs and strengthen our economy for the long run."

1. Keep fighting out there and for job investment and small business loans bills too. It all helps....

Working in unison things can get back on track in no time. It's just as President Obama says ordinary people CAN do extraordinary things.
