Received this e-mail from Senator Brian Schatz (D. HI):
I’ve got good news:

The Senate was able to come to a bipartisan agreement yesterday to renew unemployment insurance, which would restore a vital lifeline to thousands of families in Hawaii and millions of Americans who have had this program cut off since December of last year.

With so many people struggling to provide for their families, this agreement took far too long to reach. But I'm glad we were finally able to get enough Republicans on board that we will be able to overcome the filibuster of the bill.

Now, we just need to make sure the Republican-controlled House passes this bill.

Sign my petition: tell Republicans in the House not to block this vital lifeline to Americans who are looking for work.

P.S. Looks like PCCC is going to be endorsing Schatz in his primary battle against Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D. HI-01):

I need your help, and I’m only sending this to a sampling of supporters.

In a few days, the PCCC plans to endorse U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) in his competitive 2014 primary fight.

Here’s our challenge: Brian Schatz is an awesome rising star, but most people haven’t heard of him yet.

We’ve boiled down the top 5 reasons we support Brian. When we endorse, we want to focus on the ones that resonate most with PCCC supporters (like you).

Can you check our short list and tell us which reasons you find most compelling?

It will help a lot as we prepare a big endorsement. Thank you!
