Friend -- Over the past few days, Senator Marco Rubio has been pontificating about his new plan to fight poverty -- but today, he voted against taking one of the most basic steps to keep Americans from sliding into economic ruin. In 2012, unemployment insurance kept 2.5 million people out of poverty, including 600,000 children. By voting against extending these benefits, Rubio and his GOP colleagues are showing that their talk about fighting poverty is just that: Talk. We need to hold Marco Rubio and his GOP colleagues accountable for saying one thing and doing another: Join Democrats, and call Republicans out for their votes against extending unemployment insurance today. Unemployment insurance is a vital lifeline for jobless Americans who are actively looking for work, and refusing to renew these benefits doesn't just hurt those families -- it really hurts our nation's economy. But Republicans have, yet again, blocked a measure that would encourage economic mobility, reduce income inequality, and benefit our nation as a whole. This is the behavior we've come to expect from the party that has denied health coverage to almost five million Americans by refusing to expand Medicaid, and is led by people who are almost uniformly opposed to raising the minimum wage. It's time for Republicans like Rubio to put their money where their mouths are and stop obstructing every attempt to stand up for those who need it most. Join President Obama and Democrats, and tell the GOP to put up or shut up: http://my.democrats.org/Renew-Unemployment-Insurance Thanks, Lily Lily Adams Deputy Communications Director Democratic National Committee
