I'm sorry for your hardships, but don't turn to Uncle Sam for a handout. Look to your neighbors instead. Do not rely on the government, it only weakens your position. Your complaint and others like it are the reasons our federal government is so ridiculously huge and running us all into the ground. Rely on yourself, your friends, and your neighbors instead - real people who actually care about you individually, rather than expecting the government to come up with a magical response that solves everyone's problems. 2008-06-15T21:05:59Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-15:/comment/25633 Anonymous Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!!

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!!!!!!!!! 2008-06-11T23:22:44Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-11:/comment/23415 Anonymous Wouldn't you think that Barack could get back to work in the Senate and do SOMETHING concrete for this country????? He's being paid for this job and doing nothing. Why can't he pass Kennedy's bill UI extension 2544 (which he cosponsored)? If he can't get things done in the Senate, don't EVEN make promises for when it's too late!!!!!!!!!!! Give up a photo op, Barack, and get some work done in the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
