Have you considered that, in your zeal to protect the citizens of America, you have allowed fear to cloud your judgment? You and your cohorts are whittling away the rights of the people. Please read your history. Consult the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin, Winston Churchill. "The only thing to fear is fear itself."

Looks like u don't care about others, u just car for yourself. 2008-03-07T06:39:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-07:/comment/2461 Anonymous The fact that you voted 'no' in respect to HR1424 (The Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act) did not surprise me. It is typical of what I have come to expect of you. This is good legislation in that it is fair, just, compassionate and cost-effective. It throws aside the type of judgmemntal conservative ideology you represent so often. I must tell you, this country needs more legislators in the mold of Paul Wellstone than it does Todd Akin, that's for damn sure. ~ Dan Duncan St. Louis 2009-03-27T03:14:46Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-27:/comment/98789 timhavens If you have the chance to vote on H.J.Res.41 please vote Aye! 2009-03-29T08:26:54Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-29:/comment/99436 timhavens As a citizen of the United States, and a Resident of the State of Missouri, I respectfully DEMAND that you return any fund raising donations to your campaign received from any corporation or company which has received TARP funds "Bailout" monies. I did not agree with companies like "AIG" issuing contractual bonuses to employees with TARP funds, NOR to I agree with anyone in Congress or the Senate, in fact ANY public official taking a 'donation' to their campaign from any company currently being funded by 'bailout' monies of ANY kind including "TARP" funds. If you have recieved monies of this sort from any company or corporation please return 100% of it to the company or corporation IMMEDIATELY! Please also introduce a BILL in congress which requires the same of all other Elected officials within the United States so that they may NOT ACCEPT donations from such 'bailed out' companies or corporations. See Continued Comment... 2009-03-29T08:27:04Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-29:/comment/99437 timhavens ...Continued from Previous comment... Accepting such funds equates to accepting a 'kick back' from companies you may have voted bailout, with the Tax Payer Burdening the weight. This simply is NOT right, and should be made ILLEGAL! It is a CLEAR violation of a conflict of interest. The interest being that of the People whom you represent vs. the need for you to fund your campaigns. Please return immediately any funds you have received from these organizations, and no not accept anymore at least until the 'bailed out' companies have restored the funds they have accepted from "TARP". Please also make every effort to encourage legislation in this regard, and please pressure your peers to do the same. Tim R.

Good Job 2009-01-29T01:20:30Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-01-29:/comment/81569 newenglin Rep. Akins delivered a remarkable, specious argument in opposition to H.R. 1. corrupting recent history: pinning the financial mess on Democratic spending when we've just finished 8 years of a Republican administration which inherited a $trillion surplus and turned it into a multi $trillion deficit thanks to tax cuts; siting Keynes and then presenting a retarded perversion of the theory and hauling out the lame argument that Roosevelt turned a recession into depression via fiscal stimuli; and, finally for me-because I could not watch him elaborate-supply side economics, which there ever were a more clear demonstration of its hollowness, well, we are living it now.
