For several weeks now, unemployed Americans have been anxiously and frustratingly awaiting a decision on H.R. 3548, the Unemployment Compensation Act of 2009, by the Senate. Even though many of the Democratic Senators have urged some of the resistant Republican Senators to pass the bill, they heartlessly continue stalling by bringing up issues unrelated to unemployment. In the meanwhile, 7,000 unemployed exhaust their benefits everyday, fearing how they will continue to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.
Progress on H.R. 3548 - The Unemployment Compensation Act of 2009
Although the wait is probably far from over, I found one indication of progress. On the Senate calendar for October 26, while there will be no roll call votes on Monday's session, it did state the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, hopes to complete action on H.R. 3548 next week. Since this was listed on October 26, I assume they mean the week beginning November 1. Furthermore, for October 27 at 2:30 p.m., it said, "cloture vote on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3548, Unemployment Insurance." To see the Senate calendar, go to http://democrats.senate.gov/calendar/2009-10.html.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term cloture, a cloture vote is when the Senate places a time limit on the consideration of a bill to end a filibuster. If the Senate has a 3/5 vote of the full Senate or normally 60 votes, it can limit consideration on a pending matter to 30 additional hours.
In the meanwhile, continue to email the Republican Senators and voice your complaints. Hang in there, America!
