I don't know much about you so far but i noticed you have great teeth. Keep up the good work and always brush twice daily. 2008-09-30T07:55:12Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-09-30:/comment/43432 americausa BUSH wants to bail out Wall street but the unemployed can just wait and starve! The Congress, the Senate and BUSH are criminal, despicable, naive,and in very dangerous water. To ignore the unemployed and not take care of them is so shortsighted its beyond belief. More Extended benefits need to be passed now! The seven weeks is really a joke as unemployment WILL continue to rise and rise. It needs to be a total of 52 or more as it was in the past. Wake up politician's (PUBLIC SERVANT) as your day is coming, and you be joining the unemployed and learn first hand what it can feel like to be jobless. More jobs will be lost, more Banks will fail and you can only blame yourselves for letting Bush and Cheney get away with robbing the working American public who are as dumb and naive as Sarah Palin! 2008-02-13T16:30:02Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-02-13:/comment/826 Anonymous Those who vote for unconstitutional warrentless wiretaps and vote to protect the criminals that violate our privacy are not worthy of the position they hold. It's impossible to justify undermining the very essence of our constitution in order to protect it. Another sell out. 2008-06-27T10:07:13Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-27:/comment/30053 Anonymous hanks! for voting nay on S 3101 (Medicare Competitive Bidding Delay)...lets just turn this country into a socialistic society. Do you realize that by allowing competitive bidding you are making large companies get bigger and shutting down thousands of smaller Durable Medical Equipment companies, thus thousands of jobs have been lost. Medicare recipients have not been educated on this issue and are in for a scare. Thanks again....greed and money= US government!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2008-06-13T09:12:46Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-13:/comment/24769 americausa I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. 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. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will 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. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!! 2008-03-16T10:59:51Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-16:/comment/3283 Anonymous Dear Senator Brownback, Thank you so much for spearheading this new legislation to at least ensure that the physicians in our country are not offering abortion as the "obvious" or "first" choice after a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. Life with a child with special needs is never easy, but these children are truly messengers from God. My own son, Reece, is 5 years old now, and is the inspiration behind the Reece's Rainbow Down Syndrome Adoption Ministry. www.reecesrainbow.com There are hundreds of families in this country waiting to adopt domestically born children with Down syndrome, and just as many who would love to adopt a child in a foreign orphanage as well. Thank you for your advocacy for my son and others like him, and for having the courage to do what is right! ---Andrea Roberts, Executive Director, Reece's Rainbow, Dacula, GA
