    Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!! Vote all these bums out!!!!!!!!

    I am a conservative and usualy vote Repulican. Democrats values are not generally mine. However, I do look at the issues and I can't understand why the Repulicans voted nay on cloture on Senate Bill 3268. It is interesting that Obama and McCain abstained from this vote. So did Edward Kennedy and 4 Repulicans. It's the issues that are important. The Republican party has been hijacked by RINOs.
    Two Repulicans had the courage to vote yea, Collins R, MN and Snow R, ME.

    They...Republicans...refuse to vote on cloture because the bill is a fat money/power grab by the LIBERALS! It’s been reported that only 4% of the total package will stimulate anything! The rest is PORK! PURE PORK! That’s why!

    Dear Mrs. Collins,

    I hope you will join me and vote "No Confidence" in Obama. Huge Deficit spending, Nationalized banking, nationalized healthcare, nationalized auto-industry. Hello!? None of these are representative of the Republican party values, as I understand them. Crisis-> catastrophe-> Soviet-States-Of-America. Sorry, I don't buy it.

    Is this the "Change" Americans were "Hoping" for? Please remember how much blood has been shed to protect us from this. Will no-one wake-up and stop this maniac?

    Please help stop the socialization of America.

    Balanced budget anyone? The CHANGE we all need: If a request to spend Tax Payers money doesn't pass through the appropriations committee with a "zero" in the balanced box, then it is irresponsible government - pork-amondous - fraud against the American people.

    Sincerely,
    -Mitch Farrar

    The passing of this H.R.1388 Bill as we see and understand it, returns the World, and America to a bygone era, not that of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s President ice, but to 1933 Germany and what the Germany people where subjected to by their government, need there be more said.

    I am firmly against this Bill, and feel totally betrayed with it’s being passed. On behalf of my family and I, and our well being as a free people, we want, insist that H.R.1388 be REPEALED.

    Frighteningly Yours,


    Ms.bunny

    PS: as a member of the Jewish faith, this represents the SS and Hitler youth to me, and I am EXREMLY OFFENDED and INSULTED by this bill!!!

    Dear Mrs. Collins,

    The passing of this H.R.1388 Bill as we see and understand it, returns the World, and America to a bygone era, akin to what the German people were subjected to by their government in the 30's.
    I don't support Federalized Volunteerism, especially when it is mandatory and the mandatory education (indoctrination) of our children.
    I strongly urge you return to the citizens of the United States of America, the Free Speech guaranteed to them in our Constitution. Individuals who volunteer to serve in this institution, who wish to serve the people of the USA via this government program, should retain the right of free speech, just as you retain your right to free speech!
    We insist that you, as our elected official, work to REPEAL H.R. 1388.
    Frighteningly Yours,
    Mitch Farrar

    Mister Senator,
    I have one question for you. The H.R.45 - Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009. What are your thoughts on this bill? Will be become as the citizens of Australia, China, Malaysia, and other countries? Will we not have the right to defend our self without having to submit to the government saying if we can or cannot have a gun and then be taxed on each gun. This bill only puts more illegal guns out on the street and puts the law abiding citizens in more danger as that we would not be able to have protection of our home and property. Some people can’t afford the taxes we are forced to pay now. Then if this bill passes we will be taxed on our right to bear arms. Where will this all end?
