Hubbys New Job

So unfortunately, hubby has been out of work for a bit. He has had some small contract work here and there but mostly it has been around 8 months. This last time he worked for a university who decided it would be fun to have a new policy to challenge all laid off personnel to keep from having to contribute their portion of the unemployment insurance since they were having to lay of a significant number of employees.

What this ended up doing was causing a "flag" on my hubbys unemployment and you know the state hates "flags" of that type. Ultimately, instead of getting our unemployment within 2 weeks like we should have, it took 8 weeks with zero dollars coming in. Boys and girls, that was a very hard time and there are many families out there in the U.S. right now that are in similar circumstances and my thoughts and good wishes go out to you and your families since I totally understand where you are coming from.

I am making a plea that everyone who can, please thoughtfully examine your hearts, look at each of the candidates for President and then vote your conscience and not a "sound bite" or what a T.V. commentator tells you is the best person. Our country is not doing well. You just need to look at all of the statistics of the hundreds of thousands of folks laid off every month to know that is true.

And Please Get Out And Vote!!
