So it's common sense that we will import them from somewhere else. The jobs would be created when putting down tracks and building the train stations not in the manufacturing of trains. And protectionism won't bring those jobs back to the US so forget implementing tariffs on Chinese imports. And the VAT would replace the income tax, not an additional tax. Please get your facts straight! 2009-08-07T03:31:35Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-08-07:/comment/116621 purplelilac3084 I urge everyone to watch CSPAN. Senator Gillibrand does not vote for the interest of us americans. She votes for spend,spend, spend. I have repeatedly called her and asked her to vote no, but she just ignores what is in the best interest of us. She has become buddies with Senator Boxer, who is a way out liberal. We do not want any government health care. It is not free, you will be forced to pay for it, whether you have the money or not. It will be rationed and horrible. I have read the bill they have. The government refuses to be on this health plan, so what does that tell you? Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are all run by the government, and those programs are all broke! It is time for us americans to clean house and vote these senators out, and start new. Maybe we will get lucky and have no more corruption! 2009-12-24T17:24:19Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-12-24:/comment/179526 fortermlimits This woman should go in 2010.

So, you get your facts straight. I guess it is okay with you,that we give the chinese our money from stimulus that was SUPPOSED to create jobs? Well I don't think the majority of the American people appreciate this wasteful spending! We now owe $42,000 each for the spending, that includes newborns. The government is destroying our country, and they COULD bring the jobs back if they wanted to. But Democrats like people on welfare and big government. She is a PROGRESSIVE democrat. Check it out...www.KirstenGillibrand.com Has to have capital K & G, because she has 2 sites. one for a democrat, and one for a progressive. I was a democrat until Obama became president, and was ashamed to be one with all this corruption and wastefulspending 2010-10-14T16:45:33Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-10-14:/comment/212053 jono10ace Kind of hard to do that in the Senate since thats a House bill.... 2010-08-26T05:45:44Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-08-26:/comment/209947 purplelilac3084 This is a disgrace that the president and senate are on vacation! the economy is falling apart due to the socialist bills they have passed! after spending ALL that money, the jobs have never been created. They want to end the Bush tax cuts, so small businesses will be taxed! That is going to create even more unemployment! I have been going crazy to find a job, I am even enrolled in 5 Temporary Agencies, but of course, they are hit just as bad as I am. The health care bill will tax them, the bush tax cuts will end, the financial bill will hurt them, so where are we going to get jobs from? The President has said he don't care if he is a one term president, as long as he gets his agenda! Please fire these senators in November! 2010-02-03T12:59:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-02-03:/comment/183394 DOUGLASFIELD SENATOR, NOW THAT THE PEOPLES U.S.CONGRESS HAS DOCUMENTED OUR UNJUST AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM,HAVE YOU HEARD IF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN WE CAN ALL WATCH THESE POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS TAKE PLACE ?

But no, you would rather the stimulus money keep being wasted on disgusting things. Where are the jobs from the stimulus? hmmm, they are only in government. You democrats have done nothing to create jobs! in fact, President Clinton was the one to pass free trade that caused our jobs to go overseas! President Clinton passed the housing mortgage, that made the crisis, by making them give loans to people who could not afford them! democrats have been in control since 2006, so don't give me that crap about the last 8 years, cause that is a big lie! 2010-09-09T05:30:47Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-09-09:/comment/210301 purplelilac3084 well, now the president wants to spend more money! the money will create jobs for the UNIONS!!!! Not the people who really need a job! I am sick by this democrat social agenda...NO JOBS! I had a good paying job when President Bush was in office, so YES I would rather have him be President! Did you see the health care bill is going to raise rates DOUBLE! One for the annual premium, and one for the health care bill that goes in affect at the end of this month! Remember Nancy Pelosi saying we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it? These damn democrats voted for it without reading it! Of course people don't want to hire with this crazy administration! They are trying to take away our freedom with every bill they pass! They have NO IDEA how to make jobs in our country! They think oh, unemployment claims have dropped! But what about ME who has been a 99er without no money and looking for a job every single day without any luck! Wake up America and vote them out!!!! 2010-09-16T07:50:23Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-09-16:/comment/210490 purplelilac3084 Well they are going to pass this today. So, here we go again! Every single bill they pass, hurts the american people! They are taking away oil incentive credits, so that means gas prices will go WAY UP! This bill will not create jobs, is just another waste of taxpayer money! What is wrong with these democrats! I was one, but after all this social agenda and arrogance, I changed my party because I was ashamed to be a democrat! They DON"T read the BILLS! They don't care what is in the BILLS! They don't listen to what WE WANT! Remember Nancy Pelosi " We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" Are you kidding me? Are these people on drugs? Health insurance premiums are now going to DOUBLE! We need to kick all senators out, no matter what their party is! They are destroying our economy, and report says today, we have MORE poverty people today than EVER! Wake up people! 2009-08-24T04:08:59Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-08-24:/comment/121066 purplelilac3084 I am angry that she is voting for the health care bill. I called her office to see when she would have town hall meetings, but she was not having any. In fact, neither was Schumer or Higgins. They are voting for a bill that the american people DO NOT want, even though the majority say vote NO. She even has a commercial on tv to call and thank her for supporting it. What nerve she has! I encourage her to read the constitution. She works for us! She is NOT representing us, she always votes for what she likes ( I should say, the party). It is time to fire her, and all the senators of NY! You can watch them on CSPAN. They are all corrupt! If we don't want our freedom disappearing, we NEED to stand up for our rights! We must vote all new members come elections, and pray for the best. 2010-09-21T03:13:06Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-09-21:/comment/210738 purplelilac3084 Senator Gillibrand has an ad running on tv that says she sponsered a bill to cut pay for senators, am I BLIND? I looked at her bills and there is NO bill to back up that statement airing! Transparency? Hmmm, well what about all those years she worked as a lawyer representing Philip Morris cigarette company? Don't see that anywhere in her profile! What about HUD? She worked there to! She is for illegal immigrants to get taxpayer money for education! She supports CAP & TRADE,she wants to reduce the emissions by 80%! Wow, our utilites will skyrocket, and so will every thing we buy! She voted yes to every thing in Obama's agenda! She did not care that the majority of people said NO! She voted NO to stop funding Acorn! Did you know the people in the red shirts on her site of healthcare are Acorn members? Go to wikipedia, and read her! She is supported by SEIU,AFL-CIO, etc. She is a PROGRESSIVE democrat! She is a radical who does NOT represent US! We must fire her ! 2010-09-21T11:37:12Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-09-21:/comment/210756 purplelilac3084 I want to know WHY you voted YES to the defense bill today? Are you really, really just going to keep ignoring the majority of americans who say NO? The military said NOT to repeal don't ask, don't tell until they finish their study! We have a WAR going on!! Why are you going to give ILLEGAL immigrants citizenship? What the hell is wrong with you democrats? 2010-03-06T07:51:27Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-03-06:/comment/188037 purplelilac3084 PLEASE vote her out! She is truly not representing us. She votes only for what Schumer does, and has no mind of her own. Senator Schumer is also a disgrace, he is out of touch with the reality we are facing. He is a true Socialist democrat, and repeatly states that WE do not care about the pork in the bills he votes yes to. I care about the future of our country, and I hope everyone feels the same, and votes our Senators out of NY. ALL of them, even Higgins or whomever represents you in the house. 2010-09-30T03:36:55Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-09-30:/comment/211290 purplelilac3084 Every time I see your ad on tv I just want to scream! What a big lie your ad is! This is a disgrace that you left early to campaign! What the hell, we are out of jobs with no relief? You left without passing the budget that ends friday! You left without extending the Bush tax cuts! Why? Because you democrats are going to tax everyone! We are NOT stupid! I am so sick of your progressive social attitude! You pass bills that the majority of Americans say NO! You didn't even read the over 2000 page healthcare bill! The bill that Nancy Pelosi said we have to pass it to KNOW WHAT'S IN IT! You have never had a town hall to meet with us! Now we are finding out how rates went up double! Senior citizens are being dropped from Medicare Advantage! You violated the CONSTITUTION mandating all americans buy healthcare! YOU DO NOT REPRESENT US! YOU VOTE FOR THE SOCIAL AGENDA OF PRESIDENT OBAMA! Every SINGLE ammendment that the republicans put in you vote NO! Vote NO to this senator! 2010-04-09T08:01:24Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-09:/comment/192521 purplelilac3084 Now I know why she votes against the will of the people. Her website says she is a PROGRESIVE! She must be voted out, they are trying to destroy our country! did you just see that the stimulus is creating jobs for China? Well, california's high speed rail will be made in China, and the Chinsese engineers will be coming to the US to plan it out. NO american jobs, but Chinese? What the heck are these democrats doing? They should be taxing the Chinese products 50% tax so we can get our jobs back! they want to start a new VAT tax instead. That means EVERYTHING we buy will have a federal tax on top of all the other taxes! Americans must wake up and vote these democrats out. That is our only hope to restore our great country. 2010-06-29T06:04:23Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-06-29:/comment/201067 pelmof Dear Senator Gillibrand, S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are "unemployed through no fault of their own," and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I'll say it again-- S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 2010-04-26T13:02:12Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-04-26:/comment/194567 DOUGLASFIELD DEAR SENATOR, ~ 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 ??? 2008-01-17T15:44:31Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-17:/comment/268 Anonymous H.R.1955..........is she doing anything to get rid of this bill?
