U.S. Congress - Senator Dick Durbin, Illinois (D)

Please re-introduce Kevins law. Please support this bill!

Please support Kevin’s Law — re introduce this bill. watch Food Inc. and you will understand. People will get behind this.

Well, it looks like Obama did grant Durbins request for a “carp czar” and tossed in 80 million taxpayer dollars to boot.

Whoopie, more government spending.

Please take the time and read HR 3200 and listen to your constituents!

Senator Durbin, we all know you are not a very bright bulb in the world of reality but a “carp czar”? How about you taking the position of “worthless government job” czar huh?

I would like to know why the Senate is sitting on the unemployment extension. Bill hr.3548 went through the House very fast. They even moved the voting up a day to vote on it. It is like the bill went to the Senate to die. We are not hearing anything about it. Please go to Washingtonwatch.com and see what the country is saying about the bill. It is an eye opener. People are starting to contact the news media instead of the Congressmen. Maybe there will be some action on this. Please ask the other Senators to act on this bill. It is considered an emergency bill. Healthcare is not the only important issue this country is facing

Your argument on healthcare is the same argument that the whole Democratic party spouts. And now you’re saying that a viable solution was never give.

You mean they were never accepts. I watched the pony and cart show. You crammed the bill down our throats. You’re in charge. And Donald Berwick is a scary SOB.

You’re very out of touch. Get off your bottom and out of your island. Put down your written speech and talk about things opening and honestly.

(viewing you on cspan – July 12, 10.)

If you haven’t noticed here Anjou… The Senate is 59 democrats, 40 republicans, and 1 independent. If the democratic majority of the congress can’t get it done then I suggest that we boot the lot of them out and elect people that can get the job done.

The College Debt Swap Act needs to get passed. These students are drowning in debt. With the College Debt Swap Act, we would get the same benefits as the Federal Student Loans have. We are not asking for a bailout. We want to repay our loans, but need a better structure in repayment that is allowed for the federal loans. This will allow these people to regain their buying power. We want to buy a home, raise a family and start new businesses, but with large debt due to the unforgiving interest rates and other fees these private lenders are allowed to saddle us with, we will never have our buying power. So how will the economy ever be strong with the majority of young, educated people at the mercy of these lenders? Please hear our pleas.

I have tried to contact the senator quite a few times. The only response I received was on the bailout. His form letter said that while he valued my opinion (yada,yada,yada)…he voted how HE THOUGHT BEST FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS. How condescending and arrogant. The majority of his constituents said no. AND WE ARE NOW SAYING NO on the healthcare debacle. The senator disregards his constituents and focuses on his PARTY’S power. He refuses to take his oath seriously. We, the people, should vote NO on Senator Durbin.

Mad in Illinois

This is a disgrace that the president and senate are on vacation!
the economy is falling apart due to the socialist bills they have passed!
after spending ALL that money, the jobs have never been created.
They want to end the Bush tax cuts, so small businesses will be taxed!
That is going to create even more unemployment!
I have been going crazy to find a job, I am even enrolled in 5 Temporary Agencies, but of course, they are hit just as bad as I am.
The health care bill will tax them, the bush tax cuts will end, the financial bill will hurt them, so where are we going to get jobs from?
The President has said he don’t care if he is a one term president, as long as he gets his agenda! Please fire these senators in November!

Agreed! Why can’t we get this bill passed? It’s been years!

Please vote Aye on the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (H.R. 1207)!

DEAR SENATOR,

~ SHOULD POORER AMERICANS HAVE FAITH THAT OUR U.S. SUPREME COURT IS WELL AWARE THAT AMERICAN PESTIGE INTERNATIONALLY IS VERY MUCH BASED ON HOW WELL WE TREAT OUR OWN CITIZENS~

• U.S. SUPREME COURT TO THE RESCUE OF MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR AMERICANS OR IS THIS JUST ANOTHER BAD DREAM THAT REAL JUSTICE WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO NOT BE AFFORDED US LITTLE PEOPLE HERE IN THE WEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ??

• MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR RELIGIOUS AMERICANS REST OUR CASE AGAINST GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS & SATAN ~ YOUR U.S. SUPREME COURT HONOR’S !!!

• CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN OTHER THEN SATAN HOW TEXAS GOVERNOR RICK PERRY ON ONE HAND PARDONS FORMER TEXAS INMATE TIMOTHY COLE WHO WAS WRONGFULLY EXECUTED WITHOUT BEING ALLOWED TO EXONERATE HIMSELF USING DNA TESTING IN TEXAS , AND WITHIN THE SAME MONTH THIS SAME GOVERNOR RICK PERRY OF TEXAS DENIES YET ANOTHER DNA TEST PRIOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTION OF HANK SKINNER ???

When the 1st bailout was being voted on i was praying it would not pass. Was a sad day i thought when it did. Now were in a real mess. For 4 months now everyone is saying one of the main problems is the housing and to date government fails to do anything, and still nothing in the stimulus package. PLEASE VOTE NO on this package. what person in their right mind would vote yes on something they haven’t had time to review in its entirey. 1500 pages as of midnite last nite? Fish hatcheries, mice, to name a few is not something that is going to stimululate the economy or help people except fish and mice. I have review what i can of the pacage online. And it’s the federal government that is getting a BIG piece of the big on this package.

Please consider this. Pretend this is your money! Would you be willing to invest or spend your money on something you have not researched in it’s entirety or are you going to just take people’s word for it.

I have not been happy with the way you have voted for the people in illinois. Our state has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to politians. Every time you turn around someone is being investigated, indicted, arrested or impeached. So please look out for the people in illinois.

And do you really want your kids or grandkids to pay for this? Please vote your conscience not what your party tells or wants you too.

According to World Health organization 30 45 million people in Africa depend on fish for their livelihood. Fish is an indispensible source of micronutrients such as Iron, Iodine, calcium, Zinc, Vitamin A and Vitamin B African countries need. Asian carp may be the solution. Asian carp may be a blessing to 3rd world countries.

Asian Carp Fish, Inc a Minnesota based company can help with the control of Asian Carp. The state provides the funds to commercially harvest and process the fish. We provide storage and transportation to Africa and 3rd world countries. Lots of starving people in Africa and 3rd world countries will be too happy to eat the fish. Create employment and economic growth. Our contact information

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?

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!!! We our losing our homes and at risk of being displaced, can’t feed our families, our utilities are in jeopardy of being shut-off!! This will be the catalyst that will seemingly rip our families apart and destroy the “family unit” as we know it!!! We our in unemployment crisis!!! Why are our “Public Officials” NOT hearing our voices?! I too, would like to know why our Democratic Senators have NOT pushed this bill through, and it still has NOT been passed!!! I too, think we might be better served through the media!!!! In addition we NEED to exercise our right…of DISSATISFACTION…at the voting poll!! Again, please ask our Senators, “What have you done for us lately”?!

HELP OUR KIDS IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM ALL OVER WE NEED FOSTER CARE REFORM TO STOP THESE KIDS FROM BEING RAPED AND BEING USED AS SEX TOYS IN 2008! THE POOR PEOPLE’S CAMPAIGN INC MR JERRY ROBINSON TIME TO STAND UP IN 2008 !!

This extention on unemployment has to be passed. I’am an American and have been unemployed since dec 2009.I look for work almost everyday with no luck at all!This is the first time in my 42 yrs of life that I havent had a job.An American born and raised in here, who needs your help! I have finished my 28 weeks of unemployment, and have no teir 1 or extention to help me with my bills.THIS BILL ON JULY 12TH NEEDS TO BE PASSED IMMEDIATELY!Or I go on the street to live. Vote yes! I thank you for your attention on this matter.

Dear Senator Durbin,
S.3520 needs to be passed immediately. There are 15 million Americans who are “unemployed through no fault of their own,” and who are also frantically attempting to find new jobs that do not exist. The majority of these 15 million have a family dependent upon their income, so that increases the number to possibly 30 or even 45 million Americans who are in imminent danger of losing everything. When this happens, the financial and moral ramifications for this country will be dire indeed. I’ll say it again— S.3520 needs to be passed immediately! Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
FYI: I’m in the process of sending this message to every senator, and I’m a resident of Chicago.

Please! Give the USDA the power to stand up to the people that provide something as fundamental as our food. Refuse to let money impact the scales of justice and re-introduce a bill that, I think, most people would say is common sense. I am so glad someone said it.

help the homeless get food and cute abercrombie clothes to wear on the streets of Illinois. seriously ive never even heard of you which means you’re not doing anything.

Sincerly,
Pissed off.

Thank you for your valiant effort last night to extend Unemployment Benefits.
You do seem to be aware of the fact that people who are unemployed ( particularly long-term) have no safety net of savings,health care,retirement benefits to fall back on and are feeding our children check to check.

Obviously, the Republican Senate and Congress has no interest in bi-partisan
politics,and is only motivatated by ambition and political tactics. Enough kowtowing to them,stop wasting time on the vain hope of bi-partisanship,and get things done without them.That is what we want to see on C-Span, and the only way
it seems that anything will get done in Washington.

This man is a disgrace to our congress. I watch CSPAN and he spends money like it is free! Our country is going to be bankrupt, and they just don’t care that our children and grandchildren will be paying for our corrupt government, who has an agenda of taking away capitalism…You know, our FREEDOM! The healthcare bill is a disgrace and will make insurance costs go UP. The intelligent person knows that only TORT reform will lower premiums. The Democrats will not put this in the bill because the malpractice lawyers donate to them for their campaigns! CORRUPT is the word. The federal government does not have the RIGHT to make us buy anything! They are violating our constitutional right! I don’t know about you, but I am on uneployment and cannot afford any money for insurance, but the government doesn’t care, and will make me. I was a democrat, but switched because I was ashamed to be one.
Please vote out the senators, so we will have a chance of freedom!
