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 HAVE YOU NOT INSISTED BILL S 2544 BE HEARD!!
DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT GOOD PEOPLE LOSEING EVERY THING THEY HAVE WORKED FOR!!!
I agree One Thousand Percent. Why on Earth does no one care. ????????
I agree 1000 percent with this . Why does no one care.????
I agree One Thousand Percent. Why on Earth does no one care. ???????? About Extending Unemployment benefits for the prior hard working who wish they were working, but no luck . !!!
TWO CLASSES IN AMERICA NOW POOR AND RICH, KNEW IT WAS COMING!
Forget about bailing out corporations! HELP fellow AMERICAN CITIZENS - we may be losing our homes and paychecks but we WILL continue to vote... and we WILL remember who was compassionate to hard-working Americans who lost their jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George Bush's Republicans shot down a federal extension of jobless benefits to be included in the Stimulus package. It's obvious there is a political advantage to be gained from this action, however I can't figure what it is?
It is imperative that bill H.R. 5749 is passed immediately to keep jobless workers afloat while the economy heals!
John McCain DOES NOT support the unemployed workers. Barack Obama DOES support a federal extension of jobless benefits!
Time is now to get the S.122 bill for the TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE PASSED. The service industry that the company I worked for was a testing company. Since we did not make the part only tested the part we fell under the service industry. Our jobs went to Mexico. I now am unemployeed and in need of training. This bill would allow us to get training for another type of employment. Help for us is despertly needed.
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.
