Those who vote for unconstitutional warrentless wiretaps and vote to protect the criminals that violate our privacy are not worthy of the position they hold. It's impossible to justify undermining the very essence of our constitution in order to protect it. Another sell out.
I have recently read Obama's Senate Bill 2433. What a scam on the American taxpayer. How can our government expect the taxpayers to give up .7% of the American GNP to the UN when the economy is in a near depression. Bush's War is costing billions every month for the taxpayers to pay which will go on for decades to come! The Chinese own this country through the Treasury Notes our government is selling to finance his war and you are going along with it. Every American currently owes the Chinese nearly $5,000.00 because of this practice!!! The Chinese are building the largest, most, sophisticated, super-quiet submarine force in the world all from the products we purchase at Wal marts, Dollar General, etc. which you and Senator Dole seem to agree with. A force made up of submarines better than the one christen a few days ago in Wilmington (USS NC 777)! I am not a fly-by-night individual...I am a retired individual who has worked hard for the betterment of his community, state,(NC) and country (vet also) and it makes me sick when I see people who go to Washington with a promise to the voter to follow the Constitution and introduce bills such as 2433. I have voted in every election since I turned 21 (except during tour in USN). Today, I am beginning to feel that it was and is a waste of my time. How much more can we take!! The people who do pay taxes can't carry the world much farther along with those in this country who do not want to work (no such thing as unemployment...one must ask himself the question....why are all these illegal Mexicans here!) as well as those who are here illegally having one child behind the other. What a mess this country is in!!!!! It is time for all Americans to vote any incumbent out of office. Our representive government is not a retirement center for worn-out politicians (example: Ted Kennedy and many more, both, Republicans and Democrats). It is also not a place for those with radical ideas such as Barrack Obama and others!
A very concerned NC citizen who "loves" his country!!!!!!!!
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!! Try to remember you work for all the PEOPLE of this country! And all those PEOPLE will remember how you vote on this issue.
Thanks! for voting nay on S 3101 (Medicare Competitive Bidding Delay)...lets just turn this country into a socialistic society. Do you realize that by allowing competitive bidding you are making large companies get bigger and shutting down thousands of smaller Durable Medical Equipment companies, thus thousands of jobs have been lost. Medicare recipients have not been educated on this issue and are in for a scare. Thanks again....greed and money= US government!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With so much crime in your state against military women more must be done. Educate yourself. see http://www.Diane-and-friends.com
