Children and adults should not have to suffer because someone is hiding behind the 1st ammendment. It is even worse in the case of Megan Meier because it was not a another child but an adult posing as a child. They already knew about her depression and to act the way they did was criminal and it was wrong. The only problem is that there is no law preventing others from continuing to do the same thing. 2009-05-07T11:49:37Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-05-07:/comment/105912 Piskami Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act - HR 1966 This bill is a violation of the First Amendment and is nothing more than a way around our constitution. There are other ways to present a bill that would punish those who do harm to other via electronic communication. This bill is poorly worded and truly unclear. I please ask you to remove your co-sponsorship on this bill.

William Clay, My name is Debra G Carter and I live in the small town of Stover, MO. I am also a 100% Service Connected Disable Woman Veteran and have recently been very concerned about the LCpl Maria Lauterbach case in the news. She was the Marine that was murdered because she was raped by a fellow marine. I am also a member of a group of women veterans called VETWOW (www.vetwow.com) and am also a MST survivor. MST stands for Military Sexual Trauma. From 1971 until 1976, I was enlisted in and served in the US Army and during that time I was raped by my commander and a group of his officer friends. I was unable to find anyone to help me when I reported this situation and was harrassed and persecuted daily by my command and the people in it. I began filing my claim for PTSD in 1976 after being discharged under honorable conditions, but and was turned down many times. I finally received a rating in 2003 for the PTSD and IBS. I have many other medical problems and am also a Ft McClellan veteran who was exposed to chemical contamination while I was in basic training at Ft McClellan, Alabama in 1971-72. You can then understand that my main concern is for the support of the health care that women veterans receive. Recently it came to my attention that a bill named HR4107 Women Veteran's Health Care Improvement Act is To amend title 38, United States Code, to expand and improve health care services available to women veterans, especially those serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes. This bill I believe will go a long way in helping other women veterans who are the survivors of MST and will additionally improve all health care for all women veterans, of which I am one. I urge you to vote to support the passage of this bill for myself and any other women veterans who may benefit from it. If you would like to contact me personally you can call me at my home (573) 377-2061. I would be happy to talk to you one on one to assist in you knowing my experiences and why these things which are often overlooked are extremely important. Thank you for your time and I hope that you will consider my request carefully and whole heartedly. Sincerely, Debra G.

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."

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... 2009-03-29T08:23:11Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-29:/comment/99434 timhavens ...Continued from Previous comment... Accepting such funds equates to accepting a 'kick back' from companies you may have voted to say 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 on your peers to do the same. Tim R.
