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.

Why are Citizens being attacked? Jan. 27, 08
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080126/ap_on_go_ot/dead_satellite
Nothing in this world is more alarming then the fact that United States Citizens are being attacked
and done harm by the U S Government Satellite Program.
I was attacked while in Ohio early last year, March and April, after some traveling to
Oklahoma, and on to Amarillo, Texas. Apparently, this torturing started before my trip West, for I
suffered substantially, prior to that time, not realizing what was happening to me.
Throughout 06-07 winter, October until the time I went on my journey West in March, I
suffered an agonizing experience of an equal consequence. At that time, I consider it much more
evil and more deadly, for it was done within my home, day and night, while sleeping, while eating,
while using the bathroom.
This onslaught of atrocities was done even though I tried to stop it. You may ask “how
can a person be harm, tortured, I would say, within their home and not be able to defend
themselves.” My understanding was revealing when I thought back to how Russia, in the Cold
War, beamed energies into the United States Embassy office building in Moscow, Russia. It
wasn’t until some time that the administrations in Moscow realize what was happening, mainly
because there was no way of knowing what was happening to the individuals while on duty. I
don’t remember the details of the occurrences, but apparently the people there at the Embassy
became sickly and this bombardment of energies hindered their work.
Could it be possible these same covert tactics are being used in United States of America?
Could the government in this country pick out individual citizens that may have irritated a few
people, doing them harm? The only reason I’m able to protect myself from this tormenting affect,
is my understanding of what actually happened in the Embassy in Moscow. Dual beams of energy
at a specific frequency converging at some designated intersect, namely me while minding my
affairs here in my home, tormenting and doing me harm.
I’m sure you are extremely hesitant about even thinking such a thing is happening. Yes,
this was my first thought when Satellites defense technology came to mind, “is it possible?”
“Could it be, someone like me, being under surveillance, attacked by such high tech equipment?”
No Way! I thought. But, after weeks of suffering its affect, I discovered truly, satellites are
involved. Of course, it wasn’t an overnight revelation.
It was recent I’ve been able to pinpoint the exact direction of those invading my privacy,
remembering the U S Embassy in Moscow, Russia. I decided it would do no good to contact the
Police Dept. “Where’s the harm?” “Where’s the evidence?”---Only those who are involved would
understand such uncivilized tactics. Spying and harm goes on today and now. Are you willing to
believe such evil, as it happens, is going on in my home? The End.
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.
Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!! Vote all these bums out!!!!!!!!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for support on S.3268, but we also need to support HR5351 and all renewable energy bills and incentives for this country and start an incentive program here in MS.
