This act will not stop identity theft. I and thousands of others have had this happen to them and no social security or any identity was needed to do it. Most is done on computer and no one asked for a photo or any confirmation of identity and the companies say they are not responsible. We have a drivers license for photo and that was not even needed. Upstanding citizens should not be tracked everywhere by the government. 2008-07-05T09:14:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-07-05:/comment/32412 Anonymous Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008 You stand by this, you are a fool and should have a D by your name.

Please be aware that unemployed Republicans in ILLINOIS won't be voting for you or the other Republicans anymore, they will be voting for Democrats. The most upsetting idea you and your Republican Cohorts presented is that a person would be eligible for a year of unemployment benefits after working only a week! That is VERY misleading, it makes it seem like a person would be eligible for a large amount of money, when that is NOT the case. People need to know the truth. The truth is each state has eligibility requirements and stipulations for earning a certain amount in a certain period of time in order to be even eligible for any state benefits. The amount of the state benefit is only about 1/3 of your previously salary, and depends on the total amount earned while working during the look back period. Here in ILLINOIS you need to earn a minimum of $1600 in the look back period which consists of 4 quarters. Therefore a person who worked part time for one week and earned $1600 in that week would only be paid $50 a week for 26 weeks. Is $50 a full benefit to you? For this little amount of money, you and the other Republicans jeopardized this legislation, you are making millions of people continue to hurt and be desperate. We are not happy with you or the other Republicans, now your job is in jeopardy. 2008-05-12T21:55:48Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-05-12:/comment/14321 Anonymous H.R. 3291 The Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2007 >Requires< local educational agencies to have in effect policies that deem to be reasonable and permissible a search of any minor student on public school grounds if conducted by a full-time teacher or school official. This is a law MANDATING that schools have a program in place to search students. Up to and INCLUDING STRIP SEARCHES!!!! To be done by teachers! This is the same as the The Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2006, it is BULLSHIT!! Giving the schools the power to strip search kids!!! We don't have enough teacher abuse in schools, now they want to make it legal??? Anyone doing this to any of my family will pay dearly. Any politician voting for this will not only NOT get my vote, but I will spread the word far & wide as to what they are up to. I will be screaming bloody murder if this passes and I won't stop till its revoked. 2008-03-01T07:43:04Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-01:/comment/1914 lerichards  Lawrence E Richards 352-585-5466 7272 Landsdale St. Brooksville, FL. 34601 law_richards@yahoo. Com Mar. 01, 08 Satellites used in Home surveillance No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’ Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and doing their dastardly thing. Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by ground coordinators, causing damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever, individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death. Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
