In a nifty information age adoption, the Ways and Means Committee Democrats of the U.S House of Representatives have set up a Facebook page dedicated to their support of the extension of Unemployment Insurance benefits. From the page’s info tab:

Emergency Unemployment Compensation and Extended Benefits are set to expire at the end of the year. With 6.2 million Americans who have been unemployed longer than 26 weeks, an extension of emergency and extended benefits is vital to helping millions of American families as they recover from the worst recession in 80 years.

The page features links to stories and PDFs that support the claim that UI extension is vital.
