Thank you for standing with Rand Paul in demanding answers. This is a shining moment.
You should denounce Rush Limbaugh for calling the college student names (slut) and the other vile things he said. I know all you repubs are afraid of him, but grow a set of balls.

Senator McConnell, if you turn over control of spending to the president you will ensure the economic collapse of this country. This means that you are no better for the country than the opposition you"ve been elected to challenge. The Republicans I know would stand firm and force the opposition to give in, but with you unfortunately we don’t have that. You and Sen. Judas McCain have all but admitted that “the fix is in” as it pertains to country club establishment Republicans, of which it appears now that you surely are. Mr. McCain seems to be more concerned about his own personal financial investment portfolio than the financial security of his country, that’s why he likes your capitulation legislation you’re creating. What a huge disappointment for America you’ve turned out to be. What will you do as a career when you get voted out of office?
I’d like to ask Senator McConnell why he continues to say that he will make sure that Obama is only a one term President. Does that sit well with anyone else? I find it disturbing that the Senators we pick are so boldly coming out and making statements that are truly unecessary. We the voters pick the President not Senators. I find that rather disturbing. You can disagree with the President(or whomever for that matter), but what ever happened to diplomacy and a little respect? What’s next you’re going to start fist fights?
This extention needs to be passed indeed, but I don’t know what tactic you think is the best. The tactic you are using seems to be not working. You are drawing great attention to yourself from the unemployed Kentuckians right now. Let’s just say it’s not the kind of attention you need. People are in a backslide and the economy for this state is in a downward fall.
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.

You absolutely nailed it. Thank you for support.
Shame on you for turning your back on us, people who are unemployed with no hope of finding a job. You’re starving our children and destroying everything that people worked their entire lives for. End this sick game now before you make America a 3rd world Country. Their will be no future generation of children if you keep denying food and shelter for the children of this generation and their families. We suffer because of you and your selfish party members. Remember, you turn back on us now, America will remember in November. Party of “NO” has no place in Washington. American People deserve better than that. We want an American Dream back and we will get it!
By the way, why don’t any of your staff members pick up the phone when people are calling your office. Not even an option to leave the message? Who are you’re working for??? Aliens from a distant planet?
You are a disgrace to your country and should be embarrassed to have the UNITED STATES in front of your title.4th of July is upon us-it reminds us of history and how the people can come together to make a difference.I hope you and your family meet the same outcome as the 15,000,000+ unemployed.You turned your back on the Citizens by playing games and stupid antics.Assistance needs to be offered to ease the minds of the families and allow continued dignity no matter the cost. You spend OUR money like water and the American people MUST and SHOULD be priority one!
“As good government is an empire of laws, how shall your laws be made? In a large society,inhabiting an extensive country,it is impossible that the whole should assemble to make laws. The first necessary step, then,is to depute power from the many to a few of the most wise and good.”
John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
Obviously we dont have the few wise and good in the senate-but we have the power to change that.
You and the rest of the Republicans are so transparent! President Obama, as well as us Americans, know what you are doing. Stalling and not voting on what the people want and need in this country. Do the job you were elected to do, and start voting! Your tactics in stalling is only going to back fire on you all. Show our President some respect. How you treat him, is a reflection on how you treat us Americans. We may have been fooled in the past, but not anymore! We The People have spoken by electing President Obama into office. We need change and we need it now! And quit blaming President Obama for the disaster in the Gulf. Enough is enough!
If you are apart of the American unemployed or share the same views as the unemployed and want to have a peaceful march on Washington to show that we do need our unemployment or in support of unemployment, email me at unemploymentmarch@yahoo.com. This has to be done, a peaceful stand needs to take place soon to make a difference. Before a lot of Americans lose the little bit that they do have. We didn’t ask for the economy to be this way and it is not our fault that we can not find jobs all at the same time. We worked all of our lives and now that we need help, the people in congress is saying no! We are the ones that help pay for wars, national disasters, and the congressmen paychecks. Now they are telling us that they cannot pass a bill so we can feed and house our families. What is more important the “Oil Spill” or the unemployed and their children. I don’t think so, it’s time for a peaceful march, email me at unemploymentmarch@yahoo.com, to make a peaceful stand now.
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~
Sir, Please give your support to Kevin’s Law. Having Monsanto in control of our nation’s food supply is inviting a disaster of larger proportion than the bailouts for Wallstreet. No one company should have the power to sue any citizen that speaks against them. And no one company should control our government and judicial system to this magnitude. Please, for the people, represent our interests on a safer free-market food supply. We all have to eat, your family included. Please, make it your agenda. Do the right thing.

This guy needs to go back into his shell. He is laughing at the public, while they pay for his healthcare. His CEO friends at the insurance companies are getting paid multi-million dollar salaries. It gives mitch a big john boner when he thinks about it.
Help the turtle-like senator make more money for the banks

I just wish Cecil the turtle would go back into his shell!
Yeah superstuper, don’t let turtle boy go talk about healthcare, he is already on the public healthcare tit and sucking it hard. Bitchboy has way better insurance than you and YOU pay for it!
Dear Senator,
If you show up at the televised health-care summit, consider yourself duped and a sucker.

Luckily, the bitch is behind the lack of oversight on the auto industry along with being in the top 15 most corrupt senators. You have the love the bs that runs out this particular PORKer’s mouth. The bitch claims to be all about a balanced budget, while taking far more for his state than the state takes in. The hypocrisy of this loser is without equal. It is probably only a matter of time before the bitch is caught in some mens room like his old pal larry craig.
SENATOR,
NOW THAT THE PEOPLES U.S.CONGRESS HAS DOCUMENTED OUR UNJUST AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM,HAVE YOU HEARD IF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN WE CAN ALL WATCH THESE POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS TAKE PLACE ?
TROY DAVIS & MUMIA ABU ~JAMAL ~ ARE HAVING PRAYERS FOR JUSTICE SAID FOR THEM WORLD~WIDE ..WE CAN ALL ONLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT EVERYONE IN OUR U.S.CONGRESS THAT KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS HOW UNJUST OUR U.S JUDICIAL SYSTEM CAN BE WITH OUR POORER AMERICANS,BECOMES ACTIVE IN MAKING SURE THAT TROY DAVIS OF GEORGIA AND MUMIA ABU~JAMAL OF PENNSYLVANIA RECEIVE FAIR AND JUST TRIALS BEFORE ANY POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS TAKE PLACE.
LAWYERS FOR POOR AMERICANS IS A WWW VOLUNTEEER LOBBY THAT SINGS OUT FOR OUR MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR AMERICANS. WE CAN BE FOUND WITH ANY SEARCH ENGINE BY OUR NAME OR TELEPHONE NUMBER.(424-247-2013)
Although you bring up a very pleasant reason why she was chosen, it is very unfair to assume that the fact that she was Hispanic had nothing to do with that. I am not saying that is a bad thing, but it is definitely here.
what a bunch of inefficient, incapable congressmen and congresswomen. and that is a bipartisan stance.
McConnell..quit playing games with the unemployment extension. People are hurting and jobs are not to be found. Amazing how we can bail out the banking industry and the crooks on Wall St., but the real victims in this country are just left hanging. We didn’t choose to have our jobs outsourced, closed or moved. That was all done thanks to some of the “great” legislation that our government has allowed over the years to be passed. Keep taking care of the wealthy and keep screwing the middle class and poor. You should be ashamed of yourself.
~ PRESIDENT OBAMA AND U.S. SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE OF MAINE BOTH KNOW THAT ANY FUTURE HEALTHCARE PLAN FOR OUR NEW AMERICA NEEDS TO ALSO ENCOMPASS ALL FAMILY MEMBERS OF ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY MEMBERS…ANYTHING LESS WOULD BE UN*AMERICAN ~
JUST MAYBE AMERICA NEEDS A FEW MORE REVOLVING DOORS IN OUR U.S. CONGRESS *
OUR COUNTRY COULD REALLY USE MANY MORE SINCERE AMERICANS LIKE THIS SPECIAL U.S.SENATOR OLYMPIA SNOWE FROM MAINE WHO CONSIDERS THIS COUNTRIES 45 MILLION POOR AMERICAN MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WITHOUT PROPER HEALTH CARE LIKE HER OWN FAMILY AHEAD OF HER ELECTED POLITICAL FAMILY **
45 MILLION POORER AMERICANS HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL WITH THE PEOPLES U.S. SENATOR SNOWE OF MAINE.
LAWYERS FOR POOR AMERICANS CAN BE FOUND WITH ANY SEARCH ENGINE.

Mr. McConnell thank you for the help with the Vets. They need all the support they can get. What’s up with not posting the health care bill on line so the voters can read it. I know there are some in Washington that think that since we went to school before the left wingers changed all of the text books we can’t read. This is beyond contempt. Also what is this STUFF video that is being shown to the children of this country in their classrooms. Just more left wing propagada to try is endoctrinate our children to their way of thinking. I watched a video the other day at Berkley and was amazed to learn that Ben Franklin was the favorite president of this country for “College Students”.
Hey anonymous you stupid coward why don’t you crawl back under your rock where it’s safe and you don’t have to think cause your not very good at it.
Have you figured out that the wealthy are the one in this country who create the job that you have"? Universal health care will bankrupt the economy as will cap and trade. Maybe you want to live under a socialist government but the intelligent people want our government back.
Not only are you in the V.A’s pocketbook (total speculation) but you’re a coward you and Mccain and Kit. I can’t believe you have the audacidy and total unhonorable plan to have a closed town hall meeting, in Kansas? None of the other Sen. are even from Kansas. You’re all Cowards. Come to your own state and speak with your own state. That goes for all the other yellow-bellied white-collars that you’re rubbing elbows with.
