And it does this the right way with higher taxes on the wealthiest (including a 49 percent rate on incomes over a billion dollars); a financial transaction tax that would discourage reckless speculation; an end to tax advantages for outsourcers & corporate jets; an environmental saving carbon tax; a public option for health insurance better than Obamacare; sensible military cuts; & investment in infrastructure, school construction, child care, & putting teachers & firefighters back to work. We need more like you. 2009-12-21T10:07:48Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-12-21:/comment/178995 SCPatriots Your home state has had the opportunity to create jobs with a chance to build an Oil Refinery in Georgetown. The legal action at that time was blocked by a small opposition during a time when most South Carolinians were unaware of this opportunity. Now we repeatedly hear the commitment from Politicians to help get the US from foreign oil dependency. SC could drill offshore and refine right here at home and create a huge amount of revenue as well as jobs. This would be done with no environmental impact. 2013-03-21T11:23:20Z tag:opencongress.org,2013-03-21:/comment/261618 lynnmanz And be like the mess that BP made and didn't pay for. 2010-03-22T21:36:21Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-22:/comment/189964 klassylady25 One who betrays another's trust or is false to an obligation or duty ~ The time has come in American when those, in service, stop making a living off of those that work.

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 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 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.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 Thanks, Janet OHIO 4420 North Fairfax Drive Arlington, VA 22203 703-469-2008 Fax: 703-962-8600 Arizona 602-279-8030 | Website Arkansas 501-244-0200 | Website California - North 415-255-7431 | Website California - South 213-908-0190 | Website Colorado 303-296-1708 | Website Georgia 404-541-9595 | Website Iowa 515-282-5307 | Website Minnesota 612-374-0156 | Website Missouri 314-961-2008 | Website Nevada 702-664-1040 | Website New Hampshire 603-782-4640 | Website New Jersey 609-695-0600 | Website New York 212-213-3717 | Website South Carolina 803-667-3112 | Website 2010-04-29T07:11:55Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-29:/comment/195031 DOUGLASFIELD DEAR JAMES CLYBURN, ~ 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 ?
