california: I heard that a new bill or law was just passed to extend these benefits for 13 weeks in California, and other states. How true is this?|||Call your Senators! It was passed through the House but it's not expected to get through the Senate. And Bush has threatened a veto if it does. Talk about absurd! He gives away $$$ to every household in the country bt then says no to the 5.5% of the population that need it the most!|||It's a proposal, and it's not expected to pass.
