To whom it may concern:
I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give
action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above,
namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security
reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may
attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all
means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing
is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal
everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any
country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit
of happiness” dream.
For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as
its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my
interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment
are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me,
controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence.
It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body.
My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser
is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is
no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately.
I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter.
As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites
are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact
with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The
spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every
move 24 hours a day.

Thankyou for voting against the unemployment extension. I have recently uprooted my family of 5 to live with my parents in their TWO bedroom home. Yes, not all of us make 250k a year with half the benefits you get. So, while 11 billion dollars to help the unemployed is too much you voted in favor of a 555 billion war bill.
This war is already a total failure and based on lies. How is that some still believe you can impose a foreign democracy on a nation that has a completely different culture. The idea of imposing democracy is inherently undemocratic to begin with and force doesn't equal freedom. Democracy starts with the people not with a foreign nation like colonialism does. It didn't work with english 200 years ago why should it work now. Democracy starts with the people as a foundation it isn't built from the top. While all this money is a waste 11 billion is only 1 percent of that war you continue to vote for. Vote for construction and not for destruction.
