It's time to affect real "Change" in Michigan. Time to Vote out both Stabenow and Levin. Neither is capable of honest thinking and forthright leadership in our state. They are simply puppets for Reid and Pelosi. Time to take back Michigan. I know that I intend to go door to door with a tally sheet of the money and jobs cost to Michigan as a direct result of the lapdog policies out of these two senators.

Senator: The health care bill is not what is needed. The bill will cost tax payers directly with higher insurance rates, taxes, and inflated national debt. It is obvious that the people who you represent don't support it. This blatant disregard by you shows that we have become a country without representation, and a new revolution could happen(1776 all over again). To the point if the health bill does cost me more,(as all the Democrats say it will not) then you will need to pay my share, because you're knowingly lying and trying to deceive me, and all your constituents! Oh I am a Independent voter, so I owe no allegiance to any political party or ideology just as George Washington said when he left office.

Am I missing something, Levin's website says "Senator Levin has long been a supporter of drug re-importation legislation, allowing Americans to buy U.S.-made drugs at Canadian prices. In 2005, he cosponsored a bipartisan bill, the Pharmaceutical Market Access and Drug Safety Act (S.334), that would allow U.S. licensed pharmacists and drug wholesalers to import FDA-approved medications from Canada." See: http://levin.senate.gov/issues/index.cfm?MainIssue=HealthCare&SubIssue=PrescriptionDrugs But, On the Amendment (Lautenberg Amdt. No. 3156 ) Amendment purpose To provide for the importation of prescription drugs Result: Amendment Rejected See: http://www.opencongress.org/vote/2009/s/378 Sen. Carl Levin [D, MI] voted Nay

Huh.. These men are both cop killers and should be put to death. Stop with your Progressive/liberal/socialism. Bill Ayers should be in prison also, not teaching in a university molding young minds into Progressive/liberal/socialism thinking. We all know what Levin and Stabenow are too.......

Mr Levin, Your repretation proceeds you. I have grown up with you as our Senator and would love to see you in that seat in the years to come. Unfortunately, the Unemployment Extension has not yet passed. Please focus on the biggest issue to your residents and put the pressure on to pass this bill. I understand that you do not want to give handouts to those who will NOT help themselves but in the process you are punishing those who are working 60+ hrs a week trying to find ANY kind of employment. I fill out dozens of applications every week but it doesn't help and it doesn't help that now I have lost my benefits with an electric bill due, no groceries in the fridge, and no gas in the car to go to an interview if I ever get one and I'm not someone who spends money! I know its been a long time since you only had 27 cents in your account but you've got to put yourself in our shoes and understand we dont get paid vacations from work every few weeks; when we're not working we're starving!

Can you Do this agian, and in Fact can you make the Job's come Back so we would not have the Hassil of this it is the best answer! 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." WE Thank You an yours for helping with this! Happy Independents Day America! I think we are further from American Independents than We were from the start ! It started out to be U.S. verses British Rule and now it is the United States of America Verses The rule of OIL but are we fighting to help the rule of Oil or are WE fighting to brake away from Oil it is all the to be looked at but we are on the wrong side at this time in history of true Independents we have the technologies to brake away from the RULER of Oil but our Leader in not for Independents he is for the Rule of OIL and the Rule of Oil is not IN this Country so the Ruler is not in this country and so the people of this country is too suffer the poor to suffer the most of all because the ruler of Oil has sent job's away so the people would have more to complain about and still not really do a thing to fix this mess , the Rule has taken away all your Rights from are True INDEPENDENTS to try to replace it with the rule of Oil , and not to use the TECHNOLOGIES of yesterday to bring it to the Future, so by doing so we are not so Independent as WE should be. I can not stand it, I could be thronging names or Businesses names but most people know the truth and it is just a mater of time when the people of this country start dying for this U.S.A. country agian ! 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 ]. 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. For more information, click here.

Dear Senator Levin, S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are "unemployed through no fault of their own," and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I'll say it again-- S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

This innovative technology has a wide range of potential applications. and Still do not know what I do , My Idea is better then this ,There's still needs a Battery Pack or a gas motor to run it, I am talking about running Big rigs as well as cars, trucks, SUV's, Tractor's even Lawn mower but still not getting the help I will need to make it happen here in the USA!

Dear Fellow Americans: >NOTE< IF you agree with this effort, forward this email. 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. Thanks, Janet OHIO THE NUMBERS FOR YOU TO CALL 4420 North Fairfax Drive Arlington, VA 22203 703-469-2008 Fax: 703-962-8600 Arizona 602-279-8030 | Arkansas 501-244-0200 | California - North 415-255-7431 | California - South 213-908-0190 | Colorado 303-296-1708 | Georgia 404-541-9595 | Iowa 515-282-5307 | Minnesota 612-374-0156 | Missouri 314-961-2008 | Nevada 702-664-1040 | New Hampshire 603-782-4640 | New Jersey 609-695-0600 | New York 212-213-3717 | South Carolina 803-667-3112 |

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?

How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases. A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain... let's take a look at New Orleans . It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number... what does it mean? A. Well.... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528. B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.. C. Or... if you are a family of four... your family gets $2,066,012. Washington , D. C HELLO! Are all your calculators broken?? Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax (Fed) Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax) IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax (Truckers) Sales Taxes Recreational Vehicle Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Tele phone Federal Excise Tax Tele phone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Tele phone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax Tele phone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Tele phone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax Tele phone State and Local Tax Tele phone Usage Charge Tax Utility Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax (And to think, we left British Rule to avoid so many taxes) STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!' And I still have to press '1' for English. I hope this goes around U S A at least 100 times What the heck happened????? How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny.

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. The people are being so misled by the news, these so called predators are being approached in adult chatrooms by undercover police who initiate conversations, not on my space.
