Rand Paul won the Rep Senate nomination in Kentucky...with a message...“I have a message, a message from the Tea Party – a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words – we’ve come to take our government back,” stated Paul to rapturous applause, adding that he would take on the special interests in Washington who treat the federal government as their own personal ATM. “What you have done and what we can do can transform America,” said Paul, candidly warning that America’s greatness hinges on saving the country. Paul added that America could be saved from its debt crisis “that is devouring our country and I think could lead to chaos.” “These petty dictators say that to stop climate change it’s about ending capitalism, they are explicit, and the President by attending Copenhagen gives credibility and credence to these folks and he should not go,” said Paul. 2009-04-06T13:21:04Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-06:/comment/101062 DianaAmerican Many of the Bills that have been passed since January 20, 2009 are in one way or another in Violation of the U.S. Constitution and need to be repealed immediately! And some of the ones that are sitting there, waiting in Silence, un-noticed, need Never to be Passed! Our politicians need to Stop passing Un-Constitutional Bills and need to go back through history, Yes, all the way back to 1913 and start repealing those that are Un-Constitutional! They need to do what they were hired by "We The People" to do. It seems their LOVE OF POWER has over come their sense of Servitude! If there be any of them that have no willingness to fulfill the job they were hired to do "By The People", and do it According to the Constitution, then I call for their resignation immediately! 2009-04-02T11:01:17Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-02:/comment/100367 ZAPEM Watch this video.

Paulson's plan. He designed it, and Congress and GWB approved it. The whole plan should be tossed out, but that is not what this narrow bill would accomplish. Again, read Paulsons plan.

The Fourteenth Amendment states no government shall deprive any citizen of Life, liberty, or PROPERTY without due process of law. Also, the 5th amendment states property may not be taken for public use WITHOUT JUST COMPENSATION 2009-04-07T18:30:04Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-07:/comment/101455 Anonymous I don't ask for someone to take care of me. I believe we should abolish ALL tax deductions. Pay your share for the opportunity to live here. Returning to the tax rates of 1955 would be a good start. 2009-04-07T18:30:04Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-07:/comment/101456 Anonymous I don't ask for someone to take care of me.

Accept that or keep complaining. Either way, the Republicans will continue to lose elections. Capitalism did not make this nation great - Mercantilism did. Everytime this nation is run like a compnay by Republicans, the Democrats have to step in to fix the damage. I am surprised you think your opinion is still relevant. 2009-04-07T18:35:30Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-07:/comment/101459 Anonymous Your comments are helping to raise money for the DNC to replace more Republicans in 2010. America thanks you. 2009-04-07T18:41:20Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-07:/comment/101460 Anonymous Socialism is what your Faux Noise tells you is the goal. That is a lie, and there is no evidence to support that claim. The liberal agenda goal is Social Capitalism. Where the need of the people are more important than the support of the corporations. It slows growth to sustainable levels. It takes longer to accumulate and consolidate wealth. It provides for the needs of all of the citizens. If you want to exist on $600 a month in welfare, good luck with that. I will continue to pay my taxes and make a contribution. 2009-04-07T18:46:27Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-07:/comment/101462 Anonymous Read Sec. of Treas. Paulson's plan.

The government would not impose something onto the private sector that they wouldn't consider on themselves. Also, representatives vote in favor of the ideologies of their constituents. Try reading some history. FYI. The Great Depression occurred when there was both a Republican Senate and House Majority. It only took 8 years to have that same majority bring us to the brink of a second Great Depression. Now ignorant individuals like yourself expect a new administration to repair the damage in less than six months. Get an education. Back to the post. Try reading the article "Performance Pays for Federal Employees Still a Matter of Debate" from the Washingtonpost.com. This article explains that the pentagon will continue to move federal employees into a pay for performance pay scale program called Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System. Check your facts Dumba$$. 2009-04-01T06:33:13Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-01:/comment/100114 wojcickim Take a look at HR 450 "To require Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws, and for other purposes." You would think this bill should have been passed quickly and unanimously! But,no,it has stalled since being introduced in January 2009. I wonder why? Do these people represent us or dictate to us? Our congressmen and president have committed so many gross violations of the Constitution in the last few months through these bailouts and interference in the private sector, it is making me sick. When are Americans going to say "Enough!"? I'm hopeful that there will be lawsuits filed on behalf of the American people and the private sector challenging these overreaching measures that are pushing us toward socialism and a loss of our freedoms. This is all completely unconstitutional. 2009-04-02T04:12:07Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-02:/comment/100246 lounap First passing legislation that enables banks and other companies is not prohibited by the Consitution and neither is putting "conditions" on the acceptance of that money. On the flip side this is going to far - I feel like the PATRIOT ACT is being passed all over again and I am having flash backs to reading 1984. You either get Republicans who pass bills to strip our civil liberties or democrats to who pass bills to take all our money. This could be a slipery slope and hopefully our Senate and the President will hit the breaks on this like they did with the original "AIG Tax Bill". The financial industry clearly needs to wake up about executive pay and get "religion" but Congress needs to stick with passing laws that protect and empower the people NOT Congress nor the Treasury. Perhaps legislation empowering shareholders to have more say on "executive" comp is more appropriate. Clearly this bill is going in the wrong direction. 2009-04-02T10:06:25Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-02:/comment/100355 wojcickim Sorry, Lounap, I think this is just what the president and congress wanted. I don't think they are going to "wake up": their wide awake and lovin' what were this is leading. And, God forbid, anyone try to mess with their compensation/pension. This crisis has created a "Perfect Storm". Now, as I read today, Geithner is saying he may have to move in replace other CEO's. If Judge Nepolitano (of Fox News) is to be believed, he has heard from a CEO of a large bank that was NOT involved in the prime mortgage mess, did not request any TARP funds, and has over $275 billion in assets, and was strong-armed by the FED to take TARP money or face a very public, gruelling audit. He resisted but the bank's BOD caved. The Fed now owns 2% of the bank and wants to call the shots, and wants say on compensation and employment issues. 2009-04-06T18:10:32Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-04-06:/comment/101123 Anonymous Fortuneately, the majority of Americans disagree with yoou.

Unfettered Capitalism is a failed experiment. It will be replaced by Social Capitalism, where profits are smaller, but the needs of the citizens come before the needs of corporations. We the people, not we the corporations.
