For those that like to play on twitter. And those that do not here is how you can contact your Congresscritters to deliver the same message.

I'm posting the email message from unite blue in it's entirety.

The Senate is set to vote on extending unemployment insurance today, in the first of only 113 days Congress is in session this year. Cold weather grounded flights throughout the country last night, delaying cloture.

We hope everyone who is now warm and safe in the halls of Congress took a moment to reflect on their good fortune, and we're very hopeful the Senate will pass a temporary extension of unemployment insurance to over one million jobless Americans......
