It looks like more people have been paying attention to this than I thought. Too bad the only one ignoring the issue is the Mainstream Media. A petition at Change.org, scolding the Senate and advocating for the addition of a Fifth Tier of benefits has gone viral, and now has more than 26,000 signatures. If you would like to add your name, please go to http://www.change.org/petitions/view/the_99ers_need_a_tier_v_added_to_unemployment_benefits. The sooner the better.
