It would appear by looking at the other comments on this page that you have once again voted your way and not the way of the people on this measure. As I had written before there are other ways to solve this crisis without taxpayer money. We sure did not do this in the 30's. I guess congress just doesnt learn from our own history. I will not be supporting you in this November election. 2008-10-01T11:40:11Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-10-01:/comment/43829 gman86428 Please consider the other approaches to solving this financial crises. The American people should not have to put our dollars into the corrupt financial markets. I hope you will not support the emergency economic stabilization with your vote tonight. No one seems to want to look at the alternatives. It seems everybody want to obliterate the American Government financially. It looks like the govt will give all control to Federal Reserve Bank and the National Treasury. It reminds of the quote by Rothchild many years ago that says something like If I control a countries money then I care not who makes the laws. Is this what America has come to? 2008-04-03T12:23:50Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-04-03:/comment/4037 Anonymous Time to wake up from your nap Mr levin unemployment numbers are up again, with no end in site, Michigan is gonna be the poorest state in the nation, thanks to you the rest of the mickey mouse Mi. government 2008-03-31T11:23:27Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-31:/comment/3855 Anonymous What a waste of the taxpayers money, ths character did nothing for Michigan nothing,,, 2008-03-04T11:07:49Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-04:/comment/2278 jgallop PLEASE ISSUE AN EMERGENCY EXTENSION OF UNEMPLOYENT IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, THANK YOU. 2008-02-21T09:42:52Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-02-21:/comment/1028 Anonymous I would think that with all of the money shortages that senators would be happy to reduce mandatory minimums. especially with the new computer laws-no victim.

I like what you are doing and I think you are doing the best you can with those slice Repulicanot's are complaining about the Law when they have been braking them for all this past time Bush has been in Office! *13-Week Unemployment Extension Signed into Law* On June 30, President Bush signed a Supplemental funding bill for critical military and domestic needs that includes a 13-week extension of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. Rep. Levin said, "Today the voices of over one million out of work Americans are finally being heard, with a much needed extension of unemployment benefits. This is a victory for more than a million of our citizens that have already exhausted their benefits, and an additional 2 ½ million estimated to exhaust in the coming months - including over 200,000 Michigan residents. The 13-week extension signed by the president today is a vital first step. We will be ready to fight to sustain the program for people who continue to be unemployed in a difficult job market."

Electric could be are NEW INDEPENDENTS! FROM THE RULER OF OIL! *House Approves Bill to Restore Protections for Individuals with Disabilities* On June 25, the House approved the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments [H.R. 3195 <http://aihs1.house.gov/t/21577/3949957/722/0/>]. The measure, which was approved on a vote of 402 to 17, specifically rejects the erroneous Supreme Court decisions that have reduced the protections for people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Since the ADA was first approved in 1990, it has helped millions of Americans with disabilities succeed in the workplace by making transportation, housing, buildings, services and other elements of daily life more accessible to individuals with disabilities. Unfortunately, since 1999, several U.S. Supreme Court decisions have narrowed the definition of disability so much that people with serious conditions such as epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, cancer, diabetes, and cerebral palsy have been determined to not have impairments that meet the definition of disability under the ADA. H.R. 3195 restores the original congressional intent.

BUT if you do NOT agree, just smile and delete. This is NO attempt to influence your vote and NO.... I have NOT been approached or solicited or asked or paid or anything....to "launch this letter". I am reminded that when Americans fail to speak out against what they perceive as bad politics and bad policies, we ALL loose. I have always been a taxpaying and voting citizen. My first vote was for John F. Kennedy. I have felt great disdain for African Americans who vigorously support the Republican Party. When the Clinton's were being attacked by Ken Star and were subjected to the dirty tactics of a smear campaign by the Republican Party, even 'tho personal misbehavior invited that, I wrote letters of support to the Clinton's and, on their behalf, to numerous politicians, media pesons and to church leaders across this nation. In my opinion, this 2008 Presidential political contest is NOT so much about race or/and gender, as it is about POWER. But it MUST also be won ethically and fairly. As it appears to me, BOTH the Clinton's are making a strong case to validate the belief that the abused, once gaining power, may become the abuser. Speaking for myself only, I am grateful that when there was a call for the bus boycott in Montgomery, AL, that NOT one African American Minister called for support of continued segregated busses. Every "chance" to support a candidate is NOT the same thing as an opportunity to promote the GOOD of the people. To express my concern about their actions, I have personally contacted certain community leaders via web addresses, who have been motivated or/ and felt obligated to step forward with unnecessary and untimely "ENDORSEMENTS" or/and divisive debasing comments.OH! What would Adam Clayton Powell think now? ~~~ PLEASE help God BLESS America~~~ It IS our responsibility to step IN here. The media, while we NEED them for information, IS also fanning the flames of a fire that has the potential to become big and dangerous. I hope to have as many people as possible call the Clinton Headquarters; numbers listed below. I have called.YOU tell them: 1. Tell any one who answers the phone that you want to see an end to the negative campaigning 2. That you are a private citizen who does NOT like the personal attacks and distortion of the record 3. That you WILL withdraw support and WILL campaign against ANY candidate who initiates and maliciously perpetrates "personal" and cheap attacks 4. That we Americans want POSITIVE campaigning on THE ISSUES from a leader who seeks to unify, NOT just win .............OR....... say whatever YOU choose, but DO call to say something that may help foster a more civil campaign I have sent this email to HUNRDEDS OF PEOPLE on hundreds of sites including Nat'l Democratic Party, THE CLINTON'S.....library etc et al, COLLEGES, URBAN LEAGUE, NAACP...... talk radio hosts, popular news media......... and HUNDREDS of other people have sent it out also. Pass on AND make YOUR calls NOW. IF people started calling me THE Queen of England, I would likely wonder why, but in NO case would I believe myself to be unequivocally entitled to the socio-political advantages of that office. Maybe someone should tell Bill. He was "NICKNAMED" the first Black President. He wasn't REALLY him.

This Iraq-Afghanistan War funding Bill with the new GI Bill along with the Unemployment Extensions need to pass the Senate just as it did in the House with the same Language and no more ADD-ON'S. Just the way it went through the House. I know you have some pull and Senators are always bargaining with other Senators for funding in their respective States. So for now, Let's leave all the Poker Playing away from the Senate Floor this Week (06/23/2008) and pass The House's version of the Bill that Pres. Bush wants and said he will sign. So please make this right and help allot of people across this Nation. 2008-06-13T09:15:44Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-13:/comment/24782 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.
