To whom it may concern:
I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give
action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above,
namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security
reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may
attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all
means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing
is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal
everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any
country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit
of happiness” dream.
For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as
its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my
interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment
are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me,
controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence.
It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body.
My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser
is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is
no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately.
I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter.
As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites
are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact
with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The
spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every
move 24 hours a day.

I am so ashamed this dictator loving jerk is from Washington. Vote to raise the cost of gas when the economy is already going down hill. I am not sure how this will repair our economy, what with cost of gas at 3.45/gal and now you want to tax it higher? What really makes me angry and will push me over to the Republican side is the tax break you gave Hugo Chavez. How dare you give someone who is our enemy a tax break? If this is your way of representing us then I resent it and you. What are you going to tell the single parent who can not afford to take their child to the doctor because of the price of gas? or can not bye bread because the price went sky high? Get your priorites straight, you REPRESENT us. R. Matthews Sultan WA.

I cannot believe Washington representatives are representing the citizens when they sponsor such bills as
H.R.1302 Global Poverty Act of 2007
McDermott is just one of many "representative" co-sponsoring this bill.

People seem unaware, and perhaps our politicians are unaware as well, of the orchestrated plans of the United Nation since the early 1980s to redistribute the wealth of the United States to third world countries...towards a New World Order, or One World Government. This is not conspiracy or lunacy speaking. It's been well researched and documents exist along with speech transcripts. President H. Bush spoke of the New World Order, just three weeks after the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) had a three day conference in New York City on the New World Order.
Between a war in Iraq sending money we don't have, and now this bill and companion bill in the Senate...will rape the U.S. of massive tax or debt or both...playing into the hands of those who would rather not have a representative government. Well, folks, it isn't a representative government, the two major parties' leaders, not the voters determine who wins nominations, and between an electoral college and even manipulated voting machines...voters do not choose our representative, senators, or presidents. Remember Gore's popular vote?
Below is some required reading. And there are many more documents one can search for one the Internet.

One World by Tal Brooke ISBN: 1-930045-07-7, 270 pages, 211 photos. One World explains why America's rapid descent is no accident, its virtues and values of yesteryear and the public memory of once great liberties and freedoms, erased like some vast hard drive. Now the anticipated signs of a techno-tyranny are beginning to emerge. Rhetoric about conservative values are used merely to placate the public. A New World Order could arrive virtually overnight and be unlike anything the world has ever seen, affecting every life on the planet and far from the utopian picture of universal brotherhood we are all being primed to expect.

One World uncovers the deep forces at work. The financial, political, military and spiritual arms of this powerful global agenda have an interlocking purpose that gives it almost irresistible power as history speeds toward world government.

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.
