    Things are getting way out of hand with our gov’t. They are not listening. We have got to MAKE them hear us! Any suggestions? I write my congressmen almost daily and I get an automated response email or letter. I’m sick of this! Is anyone else as tired as I am? It seems that others are speaking out as well with no response. Our gov’t officials are supposed to work for us! I am attending a ‘TEA Party’ on April 15th but who’s to say that will work? I think we need a revolt! If everyone in America stopped paying taxes would they listen? I think they would have to! We could all claim married and 9 and then refuse to pay. I don’t think that is unAmerican. I think it is revolution in its greatest, loudest form! What do you all think???? They can’t arrest the entire nation! Can they?

    What we have is a FLOOD of words, verbage, with a huge percentage of the communication “Bills” excessive, micro-managing red tape. Even when something sounds “good” you have to remember… There are way too many laws, how can anyone keep up?

    Listen Government, write these Bills so that they say what they are saying!

    Bills that don’t just say what they are saying should never be passed in the house or senate!

    Why not write these bills in laymens terms so everyone knows what you are talking about.

    Doesn’t the CDC, Dept of Agriculture, and many other public and private labs out there already have the facilities and knowledge to perform all of the tasks listed in this Bill? Stop wasting our tax dollars!!!
