I received word this week, after an intensive investigation by Labor and Industry of my previous employer,  that I have been approved for unemployment, which, along with my Social Security, I will be able to make my house payment and stall foreclosuer on my home for a few months.  My previous employer is now in some hot water as they did this to close to 100 other employees.  In my search for help, I called Senator Tomlinson, Senator Specter, Patrick Murphy, Hiliary Clinton ( because the company that I worked for was based in New York), Gov.Rendall, PECO for their programs, State Representative DiGiorlimo and several other agencies. The results I received are:

Senator Tomlinson was fantastic and kept in constant contact with me, researched every program that may be of help to me and sent me names and phone numbers.

PECO very caring and helpful and more than willing to help.

Senator Specter had no help information for me and his assistant of 20 years, was very rude and nasty.

Patrick Murphy, forget him, he was no better than Specter.

Hiliary Clinton she offered via her administrative assistant, a free Hiliary bumper sticker and didn't seem to care that a fortrune 500 company in her State is conducting illegal employment practices. I told the assistant what she could do with the bumper sticker.

Governor Rendell no help at all.

Gene DiGiorlimo was also very helpful and his office keeps in contact with me.

I am registered as an Independent and was shocked by the Democrates' lack of caring about people in trouble. I am shocked at Senator Specter's office  and Patrick Murphy's office for their lack of caring also.  They talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.
