Says who? You? Over 99% of the world's scientists have been more than clear about where they stand in the debate. You and your less than 1% of the 'scientific' community are ignoring overwhelming evidence. Saying that the evidence doesn't exist won't make it go away. The level of BS from the corporate PR firms, "conservative" think-tanks, the Christian Right, Rush Limbaugh, & Glenn Beck is going to destroy this country. A country that gets all of its information from the television can't survive as a Democracy. Try reading a book. Try reading two books. One from your side. One from the other side. There is ALWAYS another side to any story. Use some common sense! 2010-05-12T11:44:26Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-05-12:/comment/196392 smoothedge69 Mr. Nelson, why would you abstain from a vote to get the unemployed tier 5 benefits? Once our benefits run out, if there are still no jobs, we are finished!! We will lose everything we worked for. How can you people let this happen? 2010-07-07T17:02:07Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-07-07:/comment/203606 sharibear This extention on unemployment has to be passed.

After 31 years, he believes he's ensconced in office and his arrogance and disdain for the electorate shows. He likes the cozy committee assignments and will dutifully continue to follow Reid's directions like a puppy dog to continue to get them. His primary interest seems to be his re-election, not the citizens. Let's give him the 'boot' in 2010 along with Obama. 2010-01-07T15:46:02Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-07:/comment/180995 glendamartin54 Agreed!!! 2009-06-28T14:24:01Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-06-28:/comment/111267 ConservativeFLrunner We all need to call his office and demand a "no" for HR 2454 cap & trade!!! 2010-01-16T10:14:02Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-16:/comment/181621 dansfla PART 1 My name Dan born and raised in the New England. Enough about me. I am attempting to start a business in this state I have run through pretty much my life’s saving and used up all my credit cards. I hear thesepols telling us how small business will save America. My LLC could employ 3 to seven people in the next three years. The problem is I will not have any income for 2 years. I have to make this on my own the S.B.A. Is a joke. Banks will not loan money to any start-up company. Today I still have a 60 percent chance of making this work. I contacted all my Senators and reps about not being able to secure start-up funds no success. . 2010-01-16T10:14:57Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-16:/comment/181622 dansfla PART 2 I hire friends who don’t have jobs to help me now when I can afford it. I put a contactor to work for a week just to start my site preparations. I have purchased quite a lot of tools and security stuff. Always try to buy made in the USA. If you’re waiting for the dopes in DC to do something you need to have a multi- billion dollars problem first then they will help. I really wish regular people could get into congress that is the only thing that will save this nation. What shame Good Luck to you people looking for work 2010-01-28T15:18:32Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-01-28:/comment/182718 Saboty I would like to be the first to thank Senator Nelson for voting to get this country and all of us even deeper into debt.

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. 2008-03-13T14:50:00Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-13:/comment/3084 Anonymous Why aren't we as citizens (RorD) screaming bloody murder re:this country going into debt to COMMUNIST CHINA.

Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized. Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual not living the productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives. Once the Government considers a person or persons unproductive, they are considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity has become a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and indifferent to any advancement. America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and to the realm of outer space. The government has sold-out to the destruction of the planet with endless violations, removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all ecosystems of other forms of life. The End 2008-01-17T07:53:03Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-17:/comment/254 Anonymous Below is an excerpt from the DNC web site regaurding a voters right to vote and to have it count. Concidering what is going on with our primary votes not being counted. I doubt the party motives even more now Even if by the convention things change they will have been successful in surpressing the vote in the affected states which I feel benifits Hillery and is probably the real motivation behind this and sensce there doesn't seam to be nearly the leval of opposition to these Tactics we must conclude you are more concerned with not getting in conflict with the status quoe. FROM DNC WEB SITE While the Democratic Party continues to work to protect every American's right to vote and have that vote counted, Republicans have aimed to create roadblocks for Americans to exercise their right to vote through restrictive voter ID laws, voter purging, and voter intimidation tactics. So as my Senator, a Member of the Dem. party you are my last inside the system option I do not want to have to sue you and the rest of the DNC for depriving me of my constitutional rights. I have called your office and was angered by your staffs willingness to just accept this saying you have done what you could by filing a suit your self. what about being more vocal, organizing protest, A rally for "count our votes" not just letting it happen. when I became more angered and saying do I have to come to the office and get in your face she threatend to call the capital police to which I said go ahead and as I told them what is a citizen to do when there government allows a non-government club (DNC) to deny my most basic right? Cival Disobedeance is more American than what you and the DNC are doing. Leaders such as Martain Luther King and thier followers are more honerable than Howard Dean and his supporters! or those who accept defeat even when they are being wronged. Where will you Stand? 2008-06-07T07:41:33Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-07:/comment/21275 Anonymous He's the same as Honda. Abolish electoral college, redistrict and have the UN monitor and run the vote. Denver and Florida. Honda already tried all this.
