I am very disappointed in your "Aye" vote on H.R. 1955 ! Have you considered that, in your zeal to protect the citizens of America, you have allowed fear to cloud your judgment? You and your cohorts are whittling away the rights of the people. Please read your history. Consult the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin, Winston Churchill. "The only thing to fear is fear itself." FDR

The U S Government has become dangerous to all U S Citizens.

Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing
havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized.
Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual living or not living the
productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives.
Once the Government considers a person or persons an outsider, they are
considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their
disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity, has become
a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are
satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and
indifferent to any advancement.
America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and the realm of outer space.
The government has sold-out to the destruction of this planet with endless violations,
removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all
ecosystems for the natural forms of life.
The elderly, in their time to relax and enjoy the things they have accomplished, the
government relentlessly hounds, reminding the retired they are still useful and can be of
some consequence to the community around them. The government continues to rely on
production and progress, the very accomplishments that are burying any hopes of this
planet Earth from ever recovering from absolute destruction.
The End

The fact that you voted 'no' in respect to HR1424 (The Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act) did not surprise me. It is typical of what I have come to expect of you. This is good legislation in that it is fair, just, compassionate and cost-effective. It throws aside the type of judgmemntal conservative ideology you represent so often. I must tell you, this country needs more legislators in the mold of Paul Wellstone than it does Todd Akin, that's for damn sure. ~ Dan Duncan St. Louis

I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits ran out last month. 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. Totally disgusting. So anytime I am not looking for a job, I will spend time and 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.
