Featured Members of Congress
On May 14, 2008 Daniel Akaka was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Daniel Akaka (D-HI) is hoping to bring his bill to give tribal status to native Hawaiins, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act, to a vote on the Senate floor before Memorial Day. The bill would provide a process for reorganizing the Native Hawaiian governing entity so that the United States, the state of Hawaii, and the Native Hawaiian governing entity can negotiate the transfer of lands and natural resources, and the role of governmental authority over any transfered lands.

ok
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!!!!!!!!!
I don't think you care about women vets but I hope I'm wrong
