Dems to try again to extend unemployment benefits

For those of you currently on unemployment or just want to be in the know, check out the link below to view the AP news release. The Democrats are introducing their unemployment bill again this morning. Basically, it would extend unemployment by an additional 13 weeks.

The White House has threatened to veto the Democratic bill and said President Bush more likely would support extending benefits in states that have high unemployment rates.
