H.R.3261 Stop Online Piracy Act
I am writing as your constituent in the 2nd Congressional district of Nebraska. I oppose H.R.3261 - Stop Online Piracy Act, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability. The Internet is and should stay a free and open medium the each and everone of us in the world has a right to use. The industries that are pushing this already have laws that protect and this government does not need to create any more for them. Vote NO on H.R. 3261 Stop Online Piracy Act and let the economy grow!
Sincerely,
Patrick Conlon

Responding to your message
Dear Patrick:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Preventing Real Online Threats
to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property (PROTECT IP)
Act, S. 968. I appreciated hearing your thoughts on this issue.
As you know, this bill would allow for the Attorney General or an
intellectual property owner harmed by any website dedicated to
infringing on such intellectual property to bring actions against the
owner of the website or the registrant for the site's domain name in an
effort to curtail U.S. entities supporting or directing internet traffic
to websites believed to be in violation of copyright law. S. 968 has
been advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee and is now waiting to be
scheduled for debate by the full Senate. Rest assured, I will keep your
thoughts in mind as this legislation moves forward.
Thank you again for contacting me. The legislative process will only
work with the input of concerned citizens such as yourself, and I
encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and ideas.
Sincerely,
Ben Nelson
U.S. Senator

e-Update: Disappointed in Debt Committee Failure

be unable to reach an agreement to reduce our nation's deficit. We are
now faced with significant cuts to both defense and non-defense
programs, and our debt crisis continues to spin out of control. I have
been working closely with a bipartisan group of Senators coordinated by
the Gang of Six, all of whom believe it is imperative that we address
our country's ballooning debt. I will continue this work in hopes we are
able to bring a plan to the Senate floor. Failure to take significant
steps towards reducing our debt will affect job creation, economic
recovery and future prosperity. We can no longer afford to kick the can
down the road.

e-Update: Deadline Approaching to Comment on Ag Labor Proposal

Senator Johanns e-Update
November 29, 2011
I want to remind you of a deadline approaching for those wishing to
express thoughts on a proposed rule from the Department of Labor that
could have far-reaching effects on the way farmers and ranchers conduct
business. The proposal would ban those under the age of 16 from working
on a farm or ranch not owned by their parents, preventing valuable
learning activities that allow young people to gain experience in
agriculture. Earlier this year, I asked the Labor Department to extend
the comment period for this proposed rule, and you now have until this
Thursday, December 1st to offer your thoughts. I strongly encourage
those of you interested in sending a comment to do so here

As we prepare for the holiday season, I invite you to take a moment to
spread Christmas cheer to someone in
your participation in Holiday Mail for Heroes
ww.redcross.org%2fholidaymail> , a program that gathers and distributes
holiday cards for service members,
veterans and their families across the world. Many men and women in
uniform are overseas this season, unable to enjoy this joyous season
with family and friends. We are eternally grateful for their sacrifices,
which allow us to celebrate safely and freely here at home. I hope
you'll join me in thanking them this Christmas by sending cards to the
address below, or by dropping them off at one of my offices by December
9th:

e-Update: Protecting Consumers
ohanns.senate.gov%2fpublic%2findex.cfm>
Senator Johanns e-Update
December 14, 2011
In a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing yesterday, I had the
opportunity to ask tough questions

id%3dae9e402a-45d6-467f-b090-345e935e25bc%26amp%3bContentType_id%3d5403a
993-6746-4b23-bf8e-e9f409c82c8b> of executives at MF Global, a
commodity futures broker currently missing up to $1.2 billion in
customer funds. MF Global filed bankruptcy in October, and since then
I've heard from many frustrated Nebraskans who have legitimate questions
about how their money was handled. They and all MF Global customers who
are missing money deserve answers, and I had hoped to get answers from
the panel. Instead, the executives continued to dodge and skirt
responsibility.
MF Global was a major player in the commodity futures market, which
helps farmers and other businesses manage their risk. I will continue to
press for answers, to ensure those at fault are brought to justice, and
most importantly to help make sure it doesn't happen again.
Understanding what happened is key to maintaining our confidence in the
regulatory process. I invite you to click on the link below to hear my
questioning during the hearing or to click here

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
