Please push for the unemployment extension, it's needed badly factories are moving machinery out of factories at record numbers to mexico, we are losing jobs due to the grand ole nafta bill that we didn't get a chance to vote on,it's getting rough.
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!
Ok,enough is enough!! The economy is in the crapper and H.Clinton has promised 600 million of our tax dollars to the Gaza strip!! Now explain to us how that is not insane behaviour! That is your liberal socialists at work,
you are a good seneter.
Please accept my comments regarding H.R. 227, a bill to define "life" by embarrassingly puerile, fanatical whimsy. Any marginally educated individual knows that viable life is not even a plausibility before, at the barest minimum, five months' gestation.
"Bills" such as H.R. 227 are reprehensible in the extreme - they represent the most frivolous, mercenary improvidence of taxpayer funds and Congressional time imaginable.
Those politicians who claim to believe in the sanctity of human life would do well to spend their time - and my money - protecting it as defined by educated exemplars. That means *extant* life of *all* genders, races, creeds, nationalities, and orientations.
I kindly urge you to not only vote against H.R. 227, but to convey to supporters my outrage at the time and funds being frittered on such ludicrous fringe bills. Ethical individuals with any respect for life – not to mention themselves – will use their positions to aid those living, breathing individuals who are suffering right now, and stop misappropriating time and money on chimerical delusions.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.
Mr. Bingaman;
I am fearful that you introduced S-22 with tunnel vision; possibly to satisfy just a few good friends.
Have you considered the following: The biggest abusers of paleontological resouces are BLM, the oil and gas companies. As I watch the BLM work; they have approved the destruction of a large portion of the Cherokee Trail in the Powder basin area of WY; they have approved the destruction of tepee rings for a road in SW WY; they have approved the positioning of a well between two sacred monuments; he fossil beds have been upended; and they are slowly developing approximately 2000 miles of roads; rigs; wells. The BLM approved the abandonment of open tailings from coal bed gas; which, by the way; was next to a camp of both petrified woods; and approximately 50 fire pots.
What are your penalties for stupidity of the BLM; and, as the oil and gas companies are doing the actual destrution; how will you penalize them.
What are your thoughts behind this ignorance.
Ok,enough is enough!! The economy is in the crapper and H.Clinton has promised 600 million of our tax dollars to the Gaza strip!! Now explain to us how that is not insane behaviour!
H.R. 669 Sucks!!!!
Sen. Bingaman
This comment is to ask you to support HR 17 and to oppose HR 45. If your staff has not informed you of these two bills I recommend that you have your staff look into them immediately. It may be a while before they come out of committee but foreknowledge of these issues will be important to you. I am already taking steps to bring both of these bills to the public light so you can expect to hear about them soon. Simply put they are arms bills. HR 17 defends the rights of americans to own and use firearms in their own defence while it also protects citizens from prosecution for using a firearm to defend themselves, their property or their family and the second restricts the rights of americans to have or own firearms. Both are under the radar at this time but expect them to surface quickly. With the current American dissatisfaction in our government these bills may make or break your next election.
