Rudolf J. -- Congress is preparing to vote on a final Economic Recovery bill. President Obama is urging action in Washington because families across the country need help right now. In the past week, thousands of you came together at house meetings to talk about how the economic crisis is affecting your communities. And thousands more shared your personal stories on our website. Your voices were heard. Help is on the way. Take a few minutes and read some of the stories your fellow Americans shared. These stories are the face of the economic crisis, and they will be the focus of our recovery. Here are a few excerpts from the tens of thousands of stories people like you shared: "As of a week ago, our family has joined the ranks of the unemployed and thus uninsured. We have two children, a 6 year old and a 10 month old. With my part time jobs and unemployment, we should be able to keep the roof over our heads, at least one car in the driveway and food in our stomachs for a few months. The state of our health insurance is what truly scares us." Read more from Nichole, Judy, Betty Jo, and others who shared their economic crisis stories:
