CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS!

The Council of Governors, Senior Fellows, Senior Advisors and Advocacy Team of the DISCIPLES CENTER for PUBLIC WITNESS wish you, your family, and all your loved ones a very Merry Christmas.

As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, let us pray that the love of God will be born anew in our hearts, and that our lives might more fully incarnate the Biblical vision of shalom--a vision of peace and justice for everyone throughout the world.

TAKE ACTION NOW for the UNEMPLOYED!

The House is voting tonight on the Senate bill that will extend Unemployment Insurance for two months.

If the House fails to pass the Senate bill, the unemployed will then have to wait over a full month for Congress to come back into session and start negotiating all over again.

It is inexcusable for the House to abandon them right before the holidays and new year.

The Senate bill may not be perfect but it gives the unemployed 2 months breathing room and gives Congress the chance to come back and do better.

Please go to www.unemployedworkers.org and use the action alert to contact your Representatives in the House today. We need to flood office and the press needs to make their lead that 1.8 million could lose UI in January if the House fails to pass the Senate bill today.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW!
