This is yet another stab at the law abiding citizens of this great country! Please, read and adhere to the 2nd Amendmentof our Constitution: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Please stand up for your contituants and reject this bill soundly!!!! I vote and am watching this as well as all other issues very carefully. We need to be going after the criminals and use the laws that are already in effect. This bill will only hit the "law abiding citizens" while the criminals still hold their AK 47s. Thank you and remember: We the People Surround you and promise you will be voted out if you don't start representing the people that hired you in the first place! 2010-03-10T19:23:22Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-10:/comment/188372 TeaPartyCitizen Stop.

Both of you are lemmings to Jim McDermott, and all three of you love debt and totally enjoy kicking taxpayers right where it hurts the most. Try fiscal responsibility for a change, that's something to hope for... 2010-03-12T19:18:22Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-12:/comment/188609 TeaPartyCitizen I propose all Union pension plans be stopped effective immediately. Whomever is currently on a union pension plan may remain, the damage has already been done. But it's not too late to fix the long-term problem. Move the unions to a 401(K) system just like the rest of the employee's who invest back into the company they work for. Not only does it benefit the company, it also benefits the economy and provides all employee's an equal opportunity for prosperity in the free market. America is free because we have a right to risk and prosperity. The unions are taking this right to choose from the private sector, and they are in turn crippling the economy. It's really that simple. Just think about how much true stimulation our economy would receive if the unions instead skipped the entitlement pensions and reinvested back into their company, and in turn the economy. It would be glorious! Hundred bucks' says Boeing would immediately come back -- and grow. Now THAT's job growth! 2010-03-24T15:38:52Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-24:/comment/190409 DaleLambert Exactly how is it unconstitutional? What real freedoms are being removed? You still have the right to free speech, the right to practice whatever religion you want, the right to have a free press, the right of habeas corpus, the right not to be discriminated against, the right to vote, and many many other rights protected clearly in the Constitution. The CBO indicates this bill will reduce the debt over time. Socialism does have a place in America, or don't you use the public highway system, the water utilities created and mandated by the federal government, or the police or firefighters who are paid through the community, the cheap gas you have compared to other countries, the electrical grid, funded in part by our government, dams created in Washington, built by the government for the people, subsidies from the government to grow crops, the local park, the local library? Wow... guess what? ALL Community driven, tax funded, socialist features. 2010-03-24T15:42:35Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-24:/comment/190410 DaleLambert John Boener doesn't speak for America. He speaks for his state and his state alone and I would like it very much if he were to just do that. He doesn't speak for me, nor my family, nor many of my friends. He doesn't speak for many of those who are in favor of reform, nor for those who are now happy the whole thing is done. He definitely doesn't speak for you klassylady25 as he is not your senator. If you don't like what your current senator does, vote for someone else. If that someone else doesn't get elected, you are free in this country to move to a state that has more of your values. Glen Beck is an Entertainer, all he wants is ratings and he doesn't care one whit about you or America. He only cares that he gets his paycheck and that he keeps his job. So he is willing to say whatever he has to in order to keep doing that. 2010-03-24T15:43:05Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-24:/comment/190412 DaleLambert I for one am glad that our senator has voted for reform and understands that this issue is not black and white but shades of gray.

The skin is thick & deigned as a protective barrier while the digestive track is thin & designed for absorption, thereby implying food grade ingredients are held to higher standards. This would encourage the use of food grade ingredients in cosmetics, thereby encouraging safer cosmetics. Which is the purpose of this Act is it not? The bill as worded with the testing requirements would destroy small start-up Cosmetic Companies, there needs to be something to encourage small businesses to start companies that are healthy, not destroy them before they start. 2009-10-16T23:03:59Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-10-16:/comment/144300 DOUGLASFIELD ** POORER AMERICAN ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE RISKING AND LOSING THEIR LIVES FOR ALL OF US ~ HAVE FAMILIES BACK HOME WHO ARE ALSO DYING WITHOUT HEALTH*CARE ** ~ PRESIDENT OBAMA AND U.S. SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE OF MAINE BOTH KNOW THAT ANY FUTURE HEALTH*CARE PLAN FOR OUR NEW AMERICA NEEDS TO ALSO ENCOMPASS ALL FAMILY MEMBERS(PARENTS & SIBLINGS) OF ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY MEMBERS...ANYTHING LESS WOULD BE UN*AMERICAN ~ **JUST MAYBE AMERICA NEEDS A FEW MORE REVOLVING DOORS IN OUR U.S. CONGRESS ** OUR COUNTRY COULD REALLY USE MANY MORE SINCERE AMERICANS LIKE THIS SPECIAL U.S.SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE FROM MAINE WHO CONSIDERS THIS COUNTRIES 45 MILLION POOR AMERICAN MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WITHOUT PROPER HEALTH CARE LIKE HER OWN FAMILY AHEAD OF HER ELECTED POLITICAL FAMILY ** 45 MILLION POORER AMERICANS HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL WITH THE PEOPLES U.S. SENATOR SNOWE OF MAINE.

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. 2010-04-26T12:22:44Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-26:/comment/194547 DOUGLASFIELD DEAR SENATOR, ~ SHOULD POORER AMERICANS HAVE FAITH THAT OUR U.S. SUPREME COURT IS WELL AWARE THAT AMERICAN PESTIGE INTERNATIONALLY IS VERY MUCH BASED ON HOW WELL WE TREAT OUR OWN CITIZENS~ *** U.S. SUPREME COURT TO THE RESCUE OF MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR AMERICANS OR IS THIS JUST ANOTHER BAD DREAM THAT REAL JUSTICE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO NOT BE AFFORDED US LITTLE PEOPLE HERE IN THE WEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ?? ** MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR RELIGIOUS AMERICANS REST OUR CASE AGAINST GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS & SATAN ~ YOUR U.S. SUPREME COURT HONOR'S !!! ** CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN OTHER THEN SATAN HOW TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY ON ONE HAND PARDONS FORMER TEXAS INMATE TIMOTHY COLE WHO WAS WRONGFULLY EXECUTED WITHOUT BEING ALLOWED TO EXONERATE HIMSELF USING DNA TESTING IN TEXAS , AND WITHIN THE SAME MONTH THIS SAME GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS DENIES YET ANOTHER DNA TEST PRIOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTION OF HANK SKINNER ??? 2008-01-27T15:50:15Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-27:/comment/481 Anonymous 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.
