I am a single Father of two beautiful girls.  I have been unemployed since October 2008 (with the exception of 4 months working for the Census).  I have a BA in English, a Postbaccalaureate Certificate as a Paralegal with 5 years of experience working for my Grandfather in the early 90’s, but can not find a job at a law firm.  If it wasn’t for SChip, Food Stamps and my parents monetary help we would not have food, health insurance (for them) or a roof over our heads. Getting a minimum wage job at Walmart would not even cover the child care expenses for my children so I send out  resumes every day and pray the phone will ring so I can take care of my children with out outside help. I am not looking for a hand out, I am looking for a fair chance to succeed. I am not Un-American, I am the 99%.
