Featured Members of Congress
On May 07, 2008 Dianne Feinstein was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a supporter and pledged superdelegate to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D-NY), may be backing off her support after the May 6th primaries. "I, as you know, have great fondness and great respect for Sen. Clinton and I'm very loyal to her. Having said that, I'd like to talk with her and [get] her view on the rest of the race and what the strategy is," she said. "I think the race is reaching the point now where there are negative dividends from it, in terms of strife within the party."

Republican pretending to be a democrat. We need to find a better person for this important job.
GMO FOODS NEED TESTING HR 1568 AND HR 1569 DID NOT PASS. LOBBYISTS FROM MONSANTO? WE NEED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC. CAN THIS SUBJECT MATTER IS ADDRESSED AGAIN PLEASE?
I agree with Ken and Pauline... we're in enough trouble with our crashing <a href="http://www.personalhomeloanmortgages.com">mortgage</a> market that I don't think I can take anyone else in power that doesn't have a clear goal.

We need to start producing oil from all known oil fields and look for new fields and why is Cuba and China digging for oil 25 miles from our shore line when our companies should be working those fields. The speculators are going to put the world in a depression because of our environmental idiots. We put the first nuclear energy plant in the world now we cannot put more plants into production and it is the cleanist producing electricity (for mass production of electricity). We need to make new refineries. The only way to stop this speculation is to bring more energy on line!!!!!!!
Wouldn't you think that Barack could get back to work in the Senate and do SOMETHING concrete for this country?????
He's being paid for this job and doing nothing.
Why can't he pass Kennedy's bill UI extension 2544 (which he cosponsored)?
If he can't get things done in the Senate, don't EVEN make promises for when it's too late!!!!!!!!!!!
Give up a photo op, Barack, and get some work done in the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!!
Don't play politics with the American people anymore and pass HR5749 veto proof next week. People before politics. Please many need it!!!
I hope Dianne could sponsor the H.J. Res. 89. According to NARTH (http://www.narth.com/menus/positionstatements.html), they do NOT support same-sex marriage!
Here is the quote:
"Social science evidence supports the traditional model of man-woman marriage as the ideal family form for fostering a child's healthy development."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), a member of the Trilateral Commission and a leading gun control advocate in Congress, criticized the ruling regarding lifting the gun ban in DC. "I believe the people of this great country will be less safe because of it," she said.
"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security." - Benjamin Franklin
Vote Feinstein out of office.
I recently sent an e-mail to the senator asking her to vote down the FISA amendment. Her office sent back a very verbose but complete reasoning on why she will still vote for the bill: basically, keeping our intelligent up and running is more important than bringing the telecoms to trial. I can understand that reasoning, but she failed to recognize how this bypasses the rule of law. The e-mail said that she would support any amendment that "improves the current bill" and seemed to imply that she would support retroactive immunity. After hearing about Senator Dodd's amendment that provided for such a clause, I sent her another e-mail asking her to vote for it. Check her voting record to find out what happens. We'll see.
Dear Senator Feinstein,
I am pleading with you to vote in favor of H.R. 4926, here is my personal reason why:
My first awareness of Longated QT Syndrome (LQTS) or Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in young adults was April 12, 2004. On this day I went into my daughter's bedroom to wake her up for school and found her not breathing. My daughter was in the hospital for 10 days, on life support. The doctors were not sure why this seemingly healthy, 14 year old girl, would just stop breathing. After days of running test after test, a cardiologist was finally able to give us a diagnosis, Long QT syndrome.
What, what is Long QT Syndrome? What were the warning signs my daughter would have had? Why didn't her pediatrician detect this problem at birth? Why, when I took her to the doctor for headaches, dizziness, feeling as though she were going to faint, why didn't they request an EKG, or why didn't I request it? Why, because I was unaware of this silent killer known as Long QT Syndrome.
Olivia had always been an energetic, bright, beautiful child. She was so curious about everything, always wanting excitement and adventure in her life. Olivia was very active as a cheerleader and loved to play basketball. Olivia was very competitive, healthy as can be, so we thought.
April 22, 2004, my 14 year old daughter, Olivia Corinne Hoff, passed away.
As a mother, I am writing this to bring public awareness to our community about LQTS and SCA and the importance of AED'in our local schools.
It was four years April 22, 2008 that my daughter passed away. Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself, Why didn't I know, why didn't I see the warning signs ? If I had, maybe Olivia would be alive today. Unfortunately, for me and my family, our life is forever changed. As a mom, I cannot express the depth of pain in losing a child. When my daughter died, a part of me died too.
I understand that this bill would, among other things, establish a grant program for local education agencies to purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and train school staff to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and correctly use AEDs.
I ask that you please do your part to save lives by doing what you can to see that the Senate passes H.R. 4926. There are many parents grieving for their children and feeling the same pain that I will we will feel for the rest of our lives.
I am a Mom on a Mission to do whatever I can to save the lives or our children. I will not let Olivia's death be in vain. Olivia cannot speak out about LQTS. Olivia cannot ask the Senate to help pass H.R. 4926. I am Olivia's voice. As Olivia's mom, I will continue to do all that I can to honor my daughter's memory, as memories is all I have.
Sincerely,
Corinne Ruiz, Olivia's mom

You know what would be nice? LOWER GAS PRICES!! How about you do something about it like drill for oil, build a refinery or two. Oh, I understand. Your political career comes before the interests of those who elected you. Guess I'll see what I can do about that come election day.
While I believe Feinstein has a heart, (Pelosi doens't nor a brain!) I tend to disagree with her on most issues. Feinstein has been a career politician too long and I believe it is time to vote her and Boxer out and get some fresh ideas in a failing congress.
S.3325 The Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights Act of 2008
Drop your sponsorship of this bill. It is going to fail miserably. It is useless ... IP is dead as it stands. Fix it at the source, don't waste my (and the USA) money with a bandaid. Music industry needs to change their buisness model. So do the Gaming / Software / Motion Picture associations. Please stop wasting all this money and drop your sponsorship. Kill this bill before it hits.....
If not, NO ONE WILL VOTE FOR YOU.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUSH wants to bail out Wall street but the unemployed can just wait and starve!
The Congress, the Senate and BUSH are criminal, despicable, naive,and in very dangerous water. To ignore the unemployed and not take care of them is so shortsighted its beyond belief. More Extended benefits need to be passed now! The seven weeks is really a joke as unemployment WILL continue to rise and rise. It needs to be a total of 52 or more as it was in the past. Wake up politician's (PUBLIC SERVANT) as your day is coming, and you be joining the unemployed and learn first hand what it can feel like to be jobless. More jobs will be lost, more Banks will fail and you can only blame yourselves for letting Bush and Cheney get away with robbing the working American public who are as dumb and naive as Sarah Palin!
