Merry Christmas to the 99ers - the left-out, the abandoned, the forgotten
The millions of unemployed Americans who are struggling to STAY ALIVE.

Christmas is a horrible time to be without money. No job. No job interviews. No unemployment checks. Nothing.

But hang in there! Don't give up, ever.

2. The American dream has been replaced by nightmares for too many people.
So many of the 99'ers are in dire situations through no fault of their own. Downsizing, outsourcing, corporate greed and too many people believing the RW memo that these people just don't want to work are causing these people to be left behind.

Thank you for posting this to remind everyone that there are a lot of good people who are suffering and stressed to hell and back and now find themselves wondering;... what the hell are we going to do?

7. I could easily have been 1 of them
But I've managed to scrape by and get a job here and there. Prayers for all of the invisibles like myself.
