You are to be commended for presenting these very real and human stories that make up the numbers we read about as well as presenting the facts concerning unemployment and the plight of the unemployed. The situation is truly heart-breaking and a very sad commentary on our values, particularly the values of those who oppose or stall the passage of legislation that would ease the desperation of all these hard-working people. Thank you and please keep doing what you're doing here. Wonderful thing you are doing here, Mike.

Have you opened the newspaper lately, inbetween your recess sessions, or your fancy lunches. If you were in our shoes it might be a different story. I think your all full of crap. This is a disgrace.

You helped me with valuable, easy to understand information and that supported me with contacting approx 15 different politicians in ca govt, white house and congress to address this matter. I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent information and for the wonderful stuff you are doing. One of these days I will definitely make a donation to this website as your doing Americans a great service! With much appreciation, Michelle M hi michael,

It's overwhelmingly heartbreaking to hear the stories some of the jobless 99'ers can tell. Michael,

The column's break and the right one goes underneath the left.. I seem to "fix" it when I uninstall a few of the plug ins.. thought maybe my twitter feed was messing it up so I removed, it seemed to work but now "broke" again on firefox but looks fine on safari. I really LOVE this theme and I don't want to have to change but this is really frustrating to me as I"m sure it is to you! Let me know if you figure out a fix.
