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... 2009-03-29T08:27:23Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-03-29:/comment/99439 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.

Russ Carnahan, 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. Carter US Army Veteran 2008-03-07T06:41:48Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-03-07:/comment/2462 Anonymous Congressman Carnahan - Just a quick thank you for your support of HR1424 (The Paul Wellstone Equitable Treatment Act for Mental Health and Addiction).
