Rep. Emerson - Thank you for your support of HR1424 (The Paul Wellstone Equitable Treatment Act for Mental Health and Addiction). It is very much appreciated. ~ Dan Duncan National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (NCADA) - St. Louis

I am VERY disappointed in your vote of "YEA" on the "Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act"!

REF: H.R. 1388, and H.R. 5563 "Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act"

I am vehemently against anything similar to these bills. Apparently Congress has passed a bill titled "Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act".

As a voice for Missouri, which includes myself I ask that you vote NO on these types of Bills sent to the Congress.

It is my feeling that REQUIRED 'volunteer-ism' is nothing more than FORCED LABOR or CONSCRIPTION. It is certainly not volunteer if there is a LAW requiring anything! I feel that to inspire individuals to volunteer is far more valuable to our nation that to require them to 'Volunteer'.

If you have the chance to vote on H.J.Res.41 please vote Aye!

As a citizen of the United States, and a Resident of the State of Missouri, I respectfully DEMAND that you return any fund raising donations to your campaign received from any corporation or company which has received TARP funds "Bailout" monies.

I did not agree with companies like "AIG" issuing contractual bonuses to employees with TARP funds, NOR to I agree with anyone in Congress or the Senate, in fact ANY public official taking a 'donation' to their campaign from any company currently being funded by 'bailout' monies of ANY kind including "TARP" funds.

If you have recieved monies of this sort from any company or corporation please return 100% of it to the company or corporation IMMEDIATELY!

Please also introduce a BILL in congress which requires the same of all other Elected officials within the United States so that they may NOT ACCEPT donations from such 'bailed out' companies or corporations.

Accepting such funds equates to accepting a 'kick back' from companies you may have voted bailout, with the Tax Payer Burdening the weight.

This simply is NOT right, and should be made ILLEGAL! It is a CLEAR violation of a conflict of interest. The interest being that of the People whom you represent vs. the need for you to fund your campaigns.

Please return immediately any funds you have received from these organizations, and no not accept anymore at least until the 'bailed out' companies have restored the funds they have accepted from "TARP".

Please also make every effort to encourage legislation in this regard, and please pressure your peers to do the same.

H.R. 1444 ‘Congressional Commission on Civic Service Act’ Sec 4.b.6

"(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."

Please VOTE TO STRIKE THIS TEXT from H.R. 1444 prior to any further motion on this bill.

Please vote Aye for H.R. 1207 - "Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009" It is about time we have an Audit of the Private institution which calls itself 'The FEDERAL Reserve" don't you think?

The Honorable Representative Joann Emerson
Would you please make the good people of the great State of Missouri aware of the attempt by a Chicago politican to ammend the Constitution of the United States on HR 45.

It is almost impossible for me to believe that our President and his political cronies think that they can take my CONSTITUTIOAL RIGHT to bear arms by a single act of Congress. The citizen's must be made aware as Benjamin Franklin so appropriately stated, "A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."
