Featured Members of Congress
On July 23, 2008 Charles Schumer was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Senator and DSCC Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on Wednesday that a filibuster-proof 60 Democratic seats in the Senate is possible for the next session of Congress. "I don't want people to think we're definitely going to get 60 votes, but that's very hard," Schumer told reporters. "It's about as likely at this point today as getting six sets was at this time two years ago, which means very unlikely, but who knows? Maybe it could happen again."

COME ON PUSH FOR THE UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION. IT'S A GOOD THING . THE UNEMPLOYED MAY BE ABLE TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES, KIDS CAN FINISH THE SCHOOL YEAR UNDER A ROOF.
Get off the backside of your butt and do SOMETHING for this country. Rip the environmentalists a new body cavity and get our own oil in our system so we can save the 6.1 TRILLION dollars the arabs are going to reap from this latest increase in a barrel of oil. What must we do to heat our homes? Paying more than 3 bucks a gallon for heating oil is ludicrous because our government can't stand up for us. Give more money to the world, The cost of making ethanol is costing more than it's worth in burning in a car. All that's accomplishing is to drive up the cost of food. Nice going, a real snooker job on congress for this fiasco. Go environmentalists and Al Gore, wreck this country as fast as you can.

Dear Senator Schumer,
I have just read the article in the link above that describes how our country is representing me. My disgust and outrage with this disregard for human rights makes me angered to have to own up to this representation by my government.
In the most humble way possible, as a citizen of the United States, I beg of you to stop the actions of detention without representation or charges, torture and any other non-compliance with US law on international grounds. It misrepresents the freedom that we would like the world to see us for and makes it more unsafe for the citizens of this country and others.
Thank you for your time in reading my plea. I hope we can hold our heads up proudly once again as Americans when this blood has been washed away.
Dear Sr. Schumer,
Please push for an extension on unemployment benefits. I lost my job in the real estate market and am having difficulity finding another position. I am sure there are many people in the same position. I have 3 children one hopefully on his way to college if I can afford to send him.
The stimulus package is not going to help me enough.
Thank You
NIGHTMARE
GIVE ME UNEMPLOYMENT SUPPORT OF GIVE ME DEATH! Help us! And please do the following!
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!
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.
Senator Schumer:
I plead with you to continue to fight for an unemployment extension for ALL states. The states with the highest rates should get the most money, but there are long term unemployed in all states. Do what you must to get this passed quickly. Compromise if you must, but this extension must be timely.
Thank you from a NY constuent
You are wreckless and maybe even just stupid. Your actions with regard to IndyMac Bank showed a lack of any ability to think ahead to what might happen. Do you fall off curbs while walking too? Look down once in a while Mr. Schumer.
