I was receiving benefits; then suddenly I filed online as usual but my benefits were not in my account the next day. I called ESC of North Carolina and was told that my benefits were exhausted. I did not receive a letter that I was even receiving the extended benefits not that they were exhausted. I am having to go to local organizations for food and I am on the verge of loosing my home. Please Mr. President, please do something to help the people of America.

It is unreal that the senate failed this bill. I wonder how many senators will be thinking about us unemployed americanswith no income while they are on vacation for a week with their families enjoying the 4th of july holiday with our tax money.
