Cory Booker for Senate Robert & Maria - After months of negotiations, the Senate has finally come to a deal to extend unemployment insurance, clearing the way for passage. The vote is scheduled for this week. A big part of the thanks goes to Americans like you -- the 1.8 million of you who have been part of this conversation, keeping the struggles of the long-term unemployed in focus and in the news. You helped us take an important step toward delivering aid to friends and neighbors who desperately need it. John Boehner doesn’t agree: Despite all the progress we’ve made, hes refusing to bring this essential legislation up for a vote in the House. He needs to hear from us. 35,000 Americans have signed our petition telling John Bohener to bring up unemployment insurance for a vote in the House. Will you add your name? act.corybooker/unemployment-insurance Together, we’ve already made a mark by keeping this debate alive for months through our words and actions. It’s up to all of us to let John Boehner know just how strong we are when we speak together in one voice. Thank you for joining me, Cory
