    Mr. Voinovich,
    Please do not support S2636. It is an irresponsible answer to an urgent problem. We need stablility, and we need to stem the foreclosure wave in this country, but S 2636 will destroy the markets and plunge us deeper into housing crisis. HUD is considering having lenders & banks order appraisals. If this happens, the overvaluation problem may self correct. Perhaps what we need are interim steps to allow lenders & banks to accept partial payments with out changing the loan terms. That could help prevent the multiple penalties on the mortgages.-Please vote no on 2636!

Perhaps what we need are interim steps to allow lenders & banks to accept partial loan payments with out changing the loan terms once the borrower get behind. That could help prevent some of the multiple penalties from the defaulted mortgages.-Please vote no on 2636!

    Homeland Security Satellites dangerous to all U S Citizens.
    Fear has gripped the Government and many people of The United States, causing havoc among all citizens. Not in history of civilization has such atrocities been realized. Spying and torture has become a common practice to any individual not living the productive life, people who live peacefully, people who are satisfied with their lives.
    Once the Government considers a person or persons unproductive, they are considered alien and a danger to the society. The government fears these people for their disrupting the overall progress of the American Way. Growth and prosperity has become a major concern to those people dwelling in luxury and vanity, while individuals who are satisfied with the common way of living are scrutinized and condemned for being lazy and indifferent to any advancement.
    America is the product of devastation to the planet Earth, and to the realm of outer space. The government has sold-out to the destruction of the planet with endless violations, removing the material resources and destroying natural environment, ending nearly all ecosystems of other forms of life.
    The End

    I hope that you are reading on www.opencongress.org all of the THOUSANDS of comments on the two unemployment extension bills.
    THESE are heartbreaking stories and mine is another one - I have worked so hard for so long and there are no jobs out there for us over 50!!!!!!
    PLEASE have compassion - we are LOSING EVERYTHING we've worked all whole lives for!

    Please vote in favor of H.R. 6049. If gas prices don't do it, maybe this bill will encourage people to do less driving and more cycling to and from work.

    What's the deal with all of these SEPARATE bills for extending benefits? Our responses are DILUTED on the different bills. When they look for the number of comments, it looks like not many but when they add together the comments for all the UE extension bills introduced, they'd have to RESPOND to us!!!!
    2544 is the one that:
    - was introduced FIRST(by Kennedy)
    - gives us a $50 increase
    - should be pushed for by ALL of us
    Make them honor KENNEDY and show empathy for US by passing that bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dude, Get a job. Quit your wining and get a job. Its people like you who tend to not realize that it doesn't matter if the government helps you because it will be bankrupt before too long. Your not the only one who is having it hard. My father was in the same predicament, but he didn't wine and he eventually got another job. Listen, cutting back shouldv'e been something that everyone needed to plan for. I hope that they do not pass this bill, because I do not see the need to put Americans in a worst scenario just to apease the few who do not know or even care to try to get by like our parents and others have had to. Susan, I beg you to think of the future and ignore the rants of those in fear.

    Voinovich is an unprincipled ass and a traitor for co-sponsoring the PASS ID Act, which will establish a National ID with biometric data.

    I am appalled that you voted for cass sunstein via your clotcher vote. You just gave this man the authority to change the American way of life. He is a radical, and you allowed this to happen. You have lost touch with your constituents, and more importantly you have forgotten The Constitution of The United States.

    Please DO NOT sell your constituents down the river anymore. Stop the madness. You have let down your conservative supported by joining the ranks of the socialists on the Hill. Please look in the mirror and remember the values that you stated to get elected.
