Voting EUC Blocking Republicans Out in 2014

Because of the Republican Party's blocking of the renewal of Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation, it is now even more of a moral imperative to vote out Republicans during the 2014 Elections.

Wherever a Person works, their Employer is required to buy Unemployment Insurance for the Employees. After 26 weeks of State Unemployment compensation, the Federal Government takes over Unemployment Compensation to Unemployed persons for up to 99 weeks. The Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation program requires Congressional annual re-approval, and that has always occurred, until the cut off of Federal EUC on December 28, 2013.

Republicans in Congress, blocking the renewal of EUC, have harmed US Citizens by abruptly cutting off their paid for Unemployment Compensation. The CBO has found that the traditional re-approval of EUC would have strengthened the economy, created over 200,000 jobs, and avoided painful suffering.

This non-re-approval of EUC then caused widespread, (unreported in the media), suffering throughout the USA. US Citizens were unable to buy food for themselves and their dependents, Electricity and Water was cut off, Evictions, selling of property to pay rent, living in cars, homelessness, and suicides occurred.

Many US Citizens posted, on the social network Twitter, their experiences with the EUC cut off. The Republican members of Congress that prevented the Renewal of EUC should be held accountable for this tragedy in the USA via replacement with Democratic Party members who have demonstrated an ability to make more intelligent decisions about Government programs related to Employment in the USA.

I took a survey of the #RenewUI Twitter contributors about the effects of EUC non-re-approval. Here is the results of the survey:

41% of the respondents said they have experienced Starvation.
45% were facing possible Eviction.
14% had already been Evicted.
32% said they have had their Heating cut off.
27% had their Electricity cut off.
18% had their Water cut off.
14% have seen their immediate family break-up because of the EUC nonrenewal.
77% were now dependent on members of their Family for support.
9% had become Homeless since December 28, 2013, when EUC ended.
None of the respondents had reported living in their cars, even though this has been reported elsewhere.

Anyone else that shares my concern about the abuse of American Citizens incurred by Republican Party blocking of EUC reapproval, please contact me via Google+, or Twitter @j363j. Thank you very much.
