Rep. Courtney,
I'm very disappointed in your votes for HR 5349 on extending the Protect America Act. You not only voted to support HR 976 for a mere 21 day extension of this critical terrorist protection act, but also voted to extend the act for only 3 weeks. All this party-line support when renewing this act has been before Congress for TWO YEARS. Your votes show that you're more interested in supporting your party and the terrorists that want to kill us than residents of the 2nd Congressional District of CT.
I want a statesman to represent us, not a politician. More importantly, I want a statesman who will act to protect our freedoms. Lee Wilmot, Tolland

Satellites used in Home surveillance

No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’
Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the
surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about
anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are
very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the
systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and
doing their dastardly thing.
Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of
buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units
assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by coordinators, causing
damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever,
individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the
inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the
government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death.
Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and
identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a
matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End

I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits ran out last month. I am 53 old and have work 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.
