My unemployment benefits ran out last month. I am 53 old and have work hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. Totally disgusting. So anytime I am not looking for a job, I will spend time and 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. 2008-03-01T16:56:45Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-01:/comment/2046 lerichards  To whom it may concern: I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above, namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit of happiness” dream. For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me, controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence. It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body. My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately. I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter. As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every move 24 hours a day.

I drive an older model chevrolet pick-up which is highly dependable. I purchased gasoline today, 4-9-2008 at $3.35 a gallon, i did not get even 6 gallons of fuel. I have seen in the past during Arizona's election for Governor that the prices were lowered for the period prior to the election, however they climbed back the the previous price thereafter. It is my concern that if something is not done about this issue, it will force our economy into a depression such as like the 30's. I did see that congress did question those that head the oil companies, my recall doesn't serve me well to know the name of the congressman that questioned why the oil companies were stating they earned .08 cents to the dollar when they are making record profits. I do not like this situation, and like others i DO NOT believe that my voice will go unheard. I know we live in the best democracy in the world, and the best Nation in the world, but sometimes the government has to act on situations such as this before it brings our economy down. I do not want to decide if i put food on my table, or gasoline in my truck. Mass transit is not available to me at the times i would need it to get to work. I work at the Lower Buckeye Jail as a Detention Officer, i make good money, pay my bills on time, but it's getting tough. Some would say i should invest in a newer model truck/car, however the cost of the payments, the insurance and gasoline out weigh what i spend on my 1972 chevrolet. I pay my bills to include a mortgage, thankfully i am not mixed up in that debacle. I ask that You as a represenative of Arizona really devote attention to this matter before it is too late. Please feel free to respond back to me at the following email address: GMill51@hotmail.com. While i am not well versed on laws, and the working of the government, i do believe that those who represent us in Washington D.C. have a duty to pass on a government that is working to the future generations in better shape than they recieved it. While the control of Gasoline would NOT be popular amongst some, being in a depression would be even less popular.
