    I’ve just become aware of the pending Bill H.R.1176 and demand that you oppose this bill.

    H.R.1176

    To provide discretionary authority to an immigration judge to determine that an alien parent of a United States citizen child should not be ordered removed, deported, or excluded from the United States.

    We are a nation of strong values and keeping families together is a most important issue. By no means should any family members be separated due to their legal status in our country.

    This bill should be re-written! At any time, a family member is found to be illegally in our country, their entire family needs to be deported to their country of origin immediately.

    Please keep families together, deport together, and demand they return together to their own countries.

    Thank You for your immediate attention.

    Earth calling Ackerman! There is a lot going on in the world besides Israel. Pay attention. Earn your pay and stop spending taxpayers money on the banks. Screw them and you too if you vote for a bailout.

    To: Representative Ackerman,

    I wonder why it is that you attack the lack of supervision when it comes to the likes of Madoff, yet you do not attack the likes of Barney Franks in the same manner over Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae. Franks should be removed from his position and investigated, he has caused this horrible finacial situation that we are all currently struggling with, many losing everything.

    Could it be that Madoff's scam hurt Senators, Congressman, and Hollywood Stars and not the peon taxpayers?

    Typical double standard on the Hill, I have become convinced that the Democrat Party should be retitled "The Teflon Party", because nothing ever sticks to them.

    Barney Franks should be investigated for his role in the current financial crisis that has resulted in billions of tax payer dollars to be used in "bail outs". You know what his role was, yet you and your fellow Democrats have closed your eyes and allowed the burden to fall upon the taxpayers backs. Without punishment to anyone.

    Shame to you and your fellow politicians.

    Madoff and Franks are two of a kind, yet you only speak disdain over one. Why?

    Hey Gary,

    It's too bad that you are a Liberal Democrat. You are a fiesty little guy and would make a good conservative if we could re-wire you to see the truth and the light. Think about it and let me know if you want to join the real America out here. I could put you in touch with all the "Right" people . You would be a Super Star over night

    Free yourself from the boot of Liberal Socialism while there is still time.

    Your Pal,
    Iron MIke
