May people remember him for being a weasle and nitpicking Boehner's filibustering for the time he took instead of standing on the merits of H.R. 2454 (there are none). The bill is voted on and passed unread, it sanctions taxation without representation, and it gives more control to government over our lives. More jobs? More like more bureaucracy as it opens up more government regulatory agency positions--wonderful what it will do for the average joe. 2010-04-19T03:26:52Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-19:/comment/193730 purplelilac3084 He is a very left man who is trying to destroy the american people and our country. Why do people in California keep voting for these evil senators? Your state has suffered immensely from the democrat party, just like my state of New York. He does not support you, so wake up, and vote him and everyone out! We need to take back our country before it is too late! 2010-03-17T22:18:27Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-17:/comment/189050 TBSchemer This man does not represent my interests, and seeks to take away my rights as an individual. Living in his district, I feel completely unrepresented in the House.

I'm very frustrated and fed up with him. My family has had a home in his district for over 60 years. We have never been able to meet him though we have attended many of the events he has appeared at. We are alwasy usurped by men in suits and big business. I'm sick and tired of dealing with aides and 22 year old clerks, et al. I want to meet, before I die, in person and talk with the people who make life and death decisions that directly affect me and my family. 2009-06-29T09:24:43Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-06-29:/comment/111439 lolmao500 Can California stop sending traitors like that piece of trash in the congress please? 2008-02-17T18:39:56Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-02-17:/comment/945 Anonymous Lets send Henry Waxman to the unemployment line I belive he has earnd his wlking papers, as if Congress did not have better things to deal with other then MBL steriod use...

And he voted FOR the Peru Free Trade Agreement AND the Homegrown Terrorism Act that will finish off more of our constitutional rights. I doubt that most people in his district realize he's not the "liberal" they sent to office years ago, since he continues to do his committee investigations that allow him to grandstand in the news. Unfortunately, these findings rarely achieve more than a press release. The obvious conclusion for them would be an investigation into impeachment which he has steadfastly refused to consider in direct opposition to many constituents (W.Hollywood) and the voters in 06. But no one is willing to run against him because of his massive contribution network that he continues to milk each year regardless of no opposition. 2010-04-28T12:35:14Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-28:/comment/194854 DOUGLASFIELD DEAR CONGRESSMAN WAXMAN, ~ 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 ?? ** MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR RELIGIOUS AMERICANS REST OUR CASE AGAINST GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS & SATAN ~ YOUR U.S. SUPREME COURT HONOR'S !!! ** CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN OTHER THEN SATAN HOW TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY ON ONE HAND PARDONS FORMER TEXAS INMATE TIMOTHY COLE WHO WAS WRONGFULLY EXECUTED WITHOUT BEING ALLOWED TO EXONERATE HIMSELF USING DNA TESTING IN TEXAS,AND WITHIN THE SAME MONTH THIS SAME GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS DENIES YET ANOTHER DNA TEST PRIOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTION OF HANK SKINNER ??? 2008-03-01T03:33:13Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-01:/comment/1945 Anonymous Sibel Edmonds was a translator in the FBI Washington Field Office. While there reviewing documents in Turkish, she saw information indicating that US government officials (State Dept, Defense Dept, Congress -- both parties) were being paid off by front groups for Turkish organized crime. She reported this information, and the attempts of the American Turkish Council (ATC) to recruit her. She was fired. She went through channels with the matter, and her case was reviewed by the Department of Justice/Office of the Inspector General, by two US Senator, and by the 60 Minutes newsteam, who did a story. Each time, those of Edmonds' allegations which were looked into were confirmed. Despite all this, nothing has been done; the Bush Administration has gagged Sibel Edmonds in court, imposing State Secrets Privilege and preventing Edmonds from discussing the case, supposedly in the interests of national security. Congressman Waxman has been briefed on all this and promised in 2006 that should the Democrats win Congress, he would hold public hearings in the Sibel Edmonds case. The Democrats won, and the Democrat-controlled Congress was convened in January of 2007. In February, a new Turkish lobby group came into existence, organized by the same crowd that set up the ATC as a front: the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA). Congressman Waxman is a member of the TCA's Congressional Caucus. Needless to say, Congressman Waxman has not held hearings into the Sibel Edmonds case (which deals the influence of Turkish organized crime in American politics), as Mr. Waxman promised. http://stopislamicconquest.blogspot.com/2008/02/turkish-lobby-obstruction-of-justice.html 2008-01-27T15:56:39Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-27:/comment/486 Anonymous Dear Fellow Americans: >NOTE< IF you agree with this effort, forward this email. 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, media pesons 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 or/ and felt obligated 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.YOU 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 I have sent this email to HUNRDEDS OF PEOPLE on hundreds of sites including Nat'l Democratic Party, THE CLINTON'S.....library etc et al, COLLEGES, URBAN LEAGUE, NAACP...... talk radio hosts, popular news media......... and HUNDREDS of other people have sent it out also. Pass on AND make YOUR calls NOW. IF people started calling me THE Queen of England, I would likely wonder why, but in NO case would I believe myself to be unequivocally entitled to the socio-political advantages of that office. Maybe someone should tell Bill. He was "NICKNAMED" the first Black President. He wasn't REALLY him.

Any fair minded Democrat watching the hearing would conclude Mr. Waxman did a very poor job with the hearing. I hope his support within the commitee is now diminsihed.
