NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Jan. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- An unemployment rally was held on Saturday, January 25th in Los Angeles regarding pleading with Congress to extend Unemployment Benefits.  The rally was spearheaded by Congresswoman Maxine Waters; she urged people to voice their opinions regarding the House decision not to extend benefits to over 3 million people across the country.

Pastor Dale Birdsong shares her story of how she worked in corporate America all her life until a devastating layoff in 2010 and another one in 2013. Unemployment benefits weren't even a fourth of what she made working but glory to God for them in a time of need.  Those benefits assisted in putting gas in the car to go to interviews and paying a few bills.  You don't know the fit of someone's shoes until you walk in them.  I don't believe It's not that people don't want to work, it's finding work that will pay them what they need to pay their bills, mortgages, feed their children, and render unto Uncle Sam what is his and to God what belongs to Him.

Ask the 1,100 executives that were on a LinkedIn seminar lately if they can survive on 1/4 of their previous income. Why should people be forced to take jobs that won't even pay their rent? God tells us in His word " That a person is worthy of his wages.  In other words, pay people what they are worth.  That's all anyone really wants.  Stop outsourcing and provide decent paying jobs to people who are qualified to handle them.  Personally I don't believe anyone should be dependent on government systems or unemployment benefits.  However, there are times when these programs will be in need.  We are in those times now, at least we are in California.  Praise God for the help. God sent ravens to feed the prophet Elijah in the day of drought. Thank God, the people of that time didn't shoot the ravens when they saw them given him food.  It's unfortunate that so many people still remain unemployed.

As a working single mom of three sons I worked for over twenty-five years from the start of College without Job interruption until July of 2010 when I was laid off my Corporate Job as a Manager.  It was my first time without work since College.  It's a different world when you don't have employment.  If it wasn't for my faith in a living God, as Hebrews 13:8 states “who is the same yesterday, today and forever”, I wouldn't have survived.  My faith to believe in God is what has helped me to endure.  This has been a difficult journey; I was raised to get an education and render to Cesar (Uncle Sam) what is his and to God what belongs to Him.  In other words, I have been faithful over the years in paying my dues to society as a good citizen should; however, this isn’t just about me. It's about all the American People who worked hard over the years, giving to Cesar what was due and now to witness this devastation of the American Economy with so many people out of work is outrageous.

American people have worked for the majority of their lives sowing into the American Economy. Unfortunately, we are in a place where we need help.  I get up daily and send out resumes with my experience looking for work, so don’t call me lazy.  I'm not sure if they are going into a black hole or what.  I was on a LinkedIn Seminar with over 1100 unemployed executives looking for work.  I don’t believe they were lazy either.  We had to go through a training with someone who was teaching us how we might be able to get our resume seen by people who are hiring.  It was overwhelming I must say.  The person who did the training was excellent; however, the stress of knowing how many people remain out of work and to go through a three hour training to listen and takes notes on what to do to get a resume through was mind bottling.  What is this country coming to?  GOD IS WATCHING.

Congress, America needs your help.  The unemployed want to return to work, sow into the economy, pay Uncle Sam what belongs to him and to live.  If you can't extend the unemployment benefits, I implore you to create jobs for people that don’t fall into a black hole that provides enough income to pay their house notes, bills, children, pay for health care, put food on the table, render to Cesar (Uncle Sam) what is his and to God what belongs to Him. What can you do for us? After all, if we don't have money to pay our taxes or support the economy, it will only be a matter of time before this crosses over to even the elite.

Congress, I implore you to PLEASE EXTEND THE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFTS until the people of America return back to work.  DON’T JUDGE US! PUT US BACK TO WORK.

II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will heal their land.
