<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey,</FONT> <SPAN class=812365819-15112010><FONT
face=Arial size=2>The economy needs our help! </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have some scary news. Millions of America's
unemployed job-seekers will be cut off from federal jobless benefits starting
Nov. 30 unless Congress takes urgent action to renew and extend those benefits
through 2011.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>For administrative reasons, states actually need to
shut down their extended unemployment programs in advance of the federal
government's Nov. 30 cut-off—which means some people will be spending
Thanksgiving without food on the table unless Congress acts next week (and
they're only in town for a few days).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just signed an emergency petition, and the deadline
for signatures is Monday. Can you add your name, too? Just click
here:</FONT></P>
