Featured Members of Congress
On June 12, 2008 Lindsey Graham was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
After the Supreme Court 5-4 ruling in favor of giving suspected terrorists held by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay the right to have their case heard by a federal court, Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he would do everything in his power to reverse the decision. "If necessary," Graham said, he would push for a constitutional amendment to reverse the decision. “The American people are going to wake up tomorrow and be shocked to hear that a member of Al Qaeda has the same constitutional rights as an American citizen,” said Graham.

I believe Sen. Graham does a wonderful job even though on some things I disagree with him. I particularly agree with his participation in th Gang of 14 and him not backing down on the Geneva Convention. The immigration bill was an attempt to solve a problem. It may not have been a grand solution, but it was an attempt.
I like Sen. Graham's common-sense approach to most issues. I have my differences with him, on the Iran resolution and until recently his sticking by the President on Iraq. I think he tells us the truth when he returns from a trip to Iraq and his military service is an asset.
I have not had the opportunity to read the entire text of HR 6049...I have not had the necessary week or so to do it. But I have to question Sen. Graham's vote on this issue. Unless Sen. Graham was not IN the Senate at the time of the vote, I wonder why he feels this bill is SO bad for the U.S. and SC that it does not even warrant discussion.
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!!!!!!!!! Try to remember you work for all the PEOPLE of this country! And all those PEOPLE will remember how you vote on this issue.
Lindsey are you a log cabin Republican?
Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!! Vote all these bums out!!!!!!!!
