Featured Members of Congress
On April 23, 2008 Carl Levin was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Carl Levin (D-MI) is preparing another push for Congress to expand the definition of hate crimes to include crimes based on a person's sexual orientation. He is hoping to include a hate-crimes amendment in the FY09 defense authorization bill that will be marked up by the Armed Service Committee next week. Levin told reporters that he considers the amendment "very appropriate" for the defense bill because it represents “one of the values of this country” that the military is in charge of defending.

Moderated Comment
I would think that with all of the money shortages that senators would be happy to reduce mandatory minimums. especially with the new computer laws-no victim. The people are being so misled by the news, these so called predators are being approached in adult chatrooms by undercover police who initiate conversations, not on my space.
WHY IN THE WORLD DOESN'T SENATOR LEVIN PUSH FOR AN EMERGENCY EXTENSION FOR UNEMPLOYMENT FOR HIS STATE OF MICHIGAN?? 7.6 % unemployed.. come on , do you want everyone to live on your streets?
PLEASE ISSUE AN EMERGENCY EXTENSION OF UNEMPLOYENT IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, THANK YOU.
63,000 MORE UNEMPLOYED IN FEBRUARY, MOST LIKELY 3/4 FROM MICHIGAN ALONE, PLEASE PUSH TO PASS THE EMERGENCY UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION. PEOPLE CAN THEN PACK UP WHAT THEY HAVE LEFT IN YOUR STATE AND MOVE ON..
MICHIGAN NEEDS HELP FROM MICHIGAN PLEASE ISSUE A UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION FOR YOU TAXPAYERS IN MICHIGAN . IF YOU AND GOVERNOR GRANDHOLM IGNORE THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION YOU WILL NOT GET MY VOTE COME NOVEMBER.. DO SOMETHING AND QUIT THINKING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO TAKE CARE OF EACH STATE'S PROBLEMS
What a waste of the taxpayers money, ths character did nothing for Michigan nothing,,,
Time to wake up from your nap Mr levin unemployment numbers are up again, with no end in site, Michigan is gonna be the poorest state in the nation, thanks to you the rest of the mickey mouse Mi. government
How do you spell useless= Carl Levin*
This Senator is done in November, no worry. Just hope that useless governor Jennie Grandholm doesn't get his job!
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!
Thanks alot from your state of Michigan for shooting down the TARGET BILL that would have helped your own, no vote from me in November , go away.
Carl, DO SOMETHING
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!!!!!!!!!
Mr Levin, I heard you speak about this Extension for Unemployment and I believe you want this money for your constituents and the benefit it will do for our State's economy. This Iraq-Afghanistan War funding Bill with the new GI Bill along with the Unemployment Extensions need to pass the Senate just as it did in the House with the same Language and no more ADD-ON'S. Just the way it went through the House. I know you have some pull and Senators are always bargaining with other Senators for funding in their respective States. So for now, Let's leave all the Poker Playing away from the Senate Floor this Week (06/23/2008) and pass The House's version of the Bill that Pres. Bush wants and said he will sign. So please make this right and help allot of people across this Nation.
Can you Do this agian, and in Fact can you make the Job's come Back so we would not have the Hassil of this it is the best answer! I like what you are doing and I think you are doing the best you can with those slice Repulicanot's are complaining about the Law when they have been braking them for all this past time Bush has been in Office!
*13-Week Unemployment Extension Signed into Law*
On June 30, President Bush signed a Supplemental funding bill for
critical military and domestic needs that includes a 13-week extension
of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. Rep. Levin said, "Today the
voices of over one million out of work Americans are finally being
heard, with a much needed extension of unemployment benefits. This is
a victory for more than a million of our citizens that have already
exhausted their benefits, and an additional 2 ½ million estimated to
exhaust in the coming months - including over 200,000 Michigan
residents. The 13-week extension signed by the president today is a
vital first step. We will be ready to fight to sustain the program for
people who continue to be unemployed in a difficult job market." WE Thank You an yours for helping with this!
Happy Independents Day America!
I think we are further from American Independents than We were
from the start !
It started out to be U.S. verses British Rule and now it is the United
States of America Verses The rule of OIL but are we fighting to help the
rule of Oil or are WE fighting to brake away from Oil it is all the to be
looked at but we are on the wrong side at this time in history
of true Independents we have the technologies to brake away from the RULER
of Oil but our Leader in not for Independents he is for the Rule of OIL and
the Rule of Oil is not IN this Country so the Ruler
is not in this country and so the people of this country is too suffer the
poor to suffer the most of all because the ruler of Oil has sent job's away
so the people would have more to complain about and still not
really do a thing to fix this mess , the Rule has taken away all your Rights
from are True INDEPENDENTS to try to replace it with the rule of Oil , and
not to use the TECHNOLOGIES of yesterday to bring it to the Future, so by
doing so we are not so Independent as WE should be. I can not stand it, I
could be thronging names or Businesses names but most people know the truth
and it is just a mater of time when the people of this country start dying
for this U.S.A. country agian !
Electric could be are NEW INDEPENDENTS! FROM THE RULER OF OIL!
*House Approves Bill to Restore Protections for Individuals with
Disabilities*
On June 25, the House approved the Americans with Disabilities Act
Amendments [H.R. 3195
<http://aihs1.house.gov/t/21577/3949957/722/0/>]. The
measure, which was approved on a vote of 402 to 17, specifically
rejects the erroneous Supreme Court decisions that have reduced the
protections for people with disabilities under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). Since the ADA was first approved in 1990, it
has helped millions of Americans with disabilities succeed in the
workplace by making transportation, housing, buildings, services and
other elements of daily life more accessible to individuals with
disabilities.
Unfortunately, since 1999, several U.S. Supreme Court decisions have
narrowed the definition of disability so much that people with serious
conditions such as epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, cancer, diabetes, and
cerebral palsy have been determined to not have impairments that meet
the definition of disability under the ADA. H.R. 3195 restores the
original congressional intent.

Helped Start America and did not put Us in this shape! This Mess!
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 - October 18, 1931) was , including the phonograph and a long lasting light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
He became an American and did not put Us in this shape! This Mess!
DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT? By A. Einstein September 27, 1905
The results of the previous investigation lead to a very interesting conclusion, which is here to be deduced.
Still in ? and He Put US in this shape ! and This MESS!
G. Bush ???????????????????????????????????? AMERICA ????????? YOU ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
About What you have done to this country! MY Country!Your Country!?
Carl. What have you done for us lately?
Please consider the other approaches to solving this financial crises. The American people should not have to put our dollars into the corrupt financial markets. I hope you will not support the emergency economic stabilization with your vote tonight. No one seems to want to look at the alternatives. It seems everybody want to obliterate the American Government financially. It looks like the govt will give all control to Federal Reserve Bank and the National Treasury. It reminds of the quote by Rothchild many years ago that says something like If I control a countries money then I care not who makes the laws. Is this what America has come to?
I was greatly disappointed to see that you had supported the bail out bill last night. It would appear by looking at the other comments on this page that you have once again voted your way and not the way of the people on this measure. As I had written before there are other ways to solve this crisis without taxpayer money. We sure did not do this in the 30's. I guess congress just doesnt learn from our own history. I will not be supporting you in this November election.
