Dear Senator, What is the North American Union that Lou Dobbs of CNN is talking about? I also read about Canada sign a treaty with the United States to share troops in civil emergencies. This was signed on Feburary 14, 2008. Do you know anything about this, and can our government do this with out Congress giving them the OK?
Dear Senator Lautenberg, I am asking for your vote and assistance to support Bill S 2544 Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008.The local and national economy is suffering at this time and this action is greatly needed to bridge workers to their next employment. Thank You for your service to the citizens of New Jersey and may you have a blessed weekend. Bill Toner Blackwood, New Jersey.
IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH! A TRAITOR! A LIAR! A THEIF! PUT HIM IN THE STREET! EVERYONE SPEAK OUT! DON'T JUST WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. GET UP AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!
You must push to help us here in NJ on s2544 it needs to become law. I will lose my house soon if not helped. My wife is the only reason I have not lost it already. This month we fall 30days behind all everything we need help.
Please push to get the UI extension passed. My benefits ran out in December, I am turning 50 and have not found employment. My next step is welfare and I dont want that, I want to work! At this point anything would help. Thank you.
dear senator why should we elect you when you let HR 5351
pass, add .50 to the price of gasoline,and give HUGO CHAVEZ tax exemption. AS he tells everyone THE USA IS TERRIBLE and our GOVERMENT SUCK?
Dear Senator, Please help the unemployed in Nj by aiding in the passage of H.R. 5749 Emergency Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 2008 which passed the House on 5/15/2008.It will go to the Senate this week. Please vote Yes! Unemployed in Clark, NJ
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will 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. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!! Try to remember you work for all the PEOPLE of this country! And all those PEOPLE will remember how you vote on this issue.
i think he went from the top down when he should have went from the bottom up. instead of bailing out the mortgage lenders he should have helped the HOMEOWNERS pay their mortgages then the lenders would have their money AND people would have their houses too.the way he did it people will still lose their homes but the TAXPAYERS AND THE BORROWER pay for the home and get nothing.he could have done it so all 3 partys(taxpayers,homeowners,lenders) won but he did not.if he can give the lenders 800 billion and spend all the billions he does on foriegn matters then why couldn't he start a temporary "walfare like" program to save american homeowners? the homeowners would get the money to save their houses,the banks would get their payments and he could add the "loaned walfare" house payment money on to their property in the form of a lien so the taxpayer loses nothing. the people keep their house ,the banks get their money AND since the homeowner eventually pays the money back the taxpayers are not out 800 billion. NO ONE LOSSES.the way he is doing it ALL the taxpayers (including the former homeowner) are paying for the house through his 800 billion payment but no one gets the house,(unless you count the slick dude who bought the $150.000 house for $10.000 at the sheriffs auction).either way it's costing taxpayers AND homeowners when it doesn't have to cost ANYBODY.say your mortgage was $1000 a month,you need help for a year thats $12000 .now instead of upping your payment(which i hear is why a lot of people are folding,ARM'S)or helping the bank make more interest off your existing loan you just lien the property.if you did it by adding it through your existing mortgage of 15 years your payment and interest would probably be substantial, at least your payment would rise and thats what you would want to avoid .so i think it should have been a "HOMEOWNERS BAILOUT" not a "LENDERS BAILOUT".plus with their homes safe they could quit worring about the mortgage and pay other bills and buy things thus stimulating the economy .thats $12,000 thats put back into the economy that didn't cost taxpayers ANYTHING,far better then the $300 "tax rebate" that cost the goverment money and did not stimulate anything. if you were lucky it helped you catch up on your $500 a month winter heating bill from last year.plus the home owner still has to pay back the money even though he lost his house!! i wonder what the motgage company will do with that money. remember, if i owe $100,000 on my mortgage and they sell my house for $10,000 i still have to pay back the bank the $90,000 difference.WTF? so once again the average working man gets shafted but big business does not.while i do not mean it badly (we are capitalist's)the only one thats making out is the guy who bought your house for $10,000 while you have to pay the whole $100,000.almost sounds like alimoney, you have to pay for the horse someone else gets to ride.so since its taxpayer money why are they not bailing out the taxpayer instead of the lenders?$12,000 average per homeowner is not a lot when you consider 1)the owner does not lose the house.2)the bank gets their payment and does not go under.(also giving them more to loan stimulateing the economy even further)3)the loan is secured through property.4)the economy gets stimulated big time by the extra consumer money.5)taxpayers lose nothing.every bodys happy all the way around
