It's unacceptable that Republicans in the Senateare only just now coming to the table, afterdraggingtheir feet for solong. Millions of people continue to faceareal crisis. Without swift action from Congress, 19 million people risk being kicked out of their homes as eviction protections expire on December 31. An estimated 12 million people will lose their extended unemployment benefits on December 26.\n\t\n\t\tCongress mustsupportindividuals and small businesses  not large corporate interests  as quickly and efficiently as possible.
