On May 28, 2008 Robert Wexler was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
On the same day that former White House press secretary Scott Mclellan's charges of incompetence and propaganda in the Bush White House hit the press, Robert Wexler (D-FL) called on McClellan to testify under oath. "Scott McClellan must now appear before the House Judiciary Committee under oath to tell Congress and the American people how President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and White House officials deliberately orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people," Wexler said in a statement.

HELP OUR KIDS IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM ALL OVER WE NEED FOSTER CARE REFORM TO STOP THESE KIDS FROM BEING RAPED AND BEING USED AS SEX TOYS IN 2008! THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN INC MR JERRY ROBINSON TIME TO STAND UP IN 2008 !!
STOP BILL HR 1955 AND S BILL 1959
Dear Sir: It is with honor I desire you to help me in eliminating my predicament.
I will not weary you in a lot of vague ideas and experiences, for they will offer nothing to give
action toward your investigating the area of my concern. My concern is coming from above,
namely Space Satellites. The Federal Government has placed in space, for National Security
reasons Space Stations to observe areas of our great country, thinking that our enemies may
attack us. Of course, some individuals within the Government, citizens too, believe any and all
means are necessary to protect and defend the citizens of this Great Nation, and I agree. The thing
is, these Satellites can and are being used for seeking out and disrupting citizens from their normal
everyday activities. Satellite technology doing harm to citizens is a dastardly thing within any
country when their technology becomes the controlling factor to those citizens living “the pursuit
of happiness” dream.
For me to comprehend its existence, Satellite Technology and its usage is as mysterious as
its ramifications on my life. The continuous effect of The Satellite Program has advanced my
interest; otherwise, I would have never become involved. The effects of Satellite bombardment
are unbroken in any and all my endeavors. The Satellite program has totally surrounded me,
controlling me, consequentially forging me outside my normal existence.
It is difficult to describe the effects and harm the U S Government is doing to my body.
My toenail has a tear; toes are discolored, small reddest mark on different part of my body. Laser
is being used more of late, due to it’s effectiveness in penetrating my surround barriers. There is
no end to the torturing I’m suffering. To say the least, I need something done, an immediately.
I’m hoping you may help me in this distressing matter.
As I understand, nearly a year of constant surveillance and harmful penetration, satellites
are operated by using a ground coordinator. A person who physically monitors, making contact
with me, following me by vehicle or coming close to my approxime while in stores, etc. The
spying while in my home is done with equipment in neighboring homes, surveillance of my every
move 24 hours a day.

Push for s2544 we need your help.....
How dare you sit at the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee and say you represent your district as you support one candidate. You sat there this morning with a passion for Obama not for Florida. Why wouldn’t you answer the question, would you accept a 100% seating of the delegates? Are you being promised a position in the Obama camp? You ran unsupported in the past which I feel will never happen again. You sold us out! We should sit home in the general election because we do not matter to you or Obama. This is a disgrace to a party that I followed. You are saying right now you champion for Florida voters but why don’t you care now? How come you felt it was important for our votes to count in the past but not now? You only want ½ of our voice to count shame on you.
I am from Wexler's District in Florida and can say that he has not repesented the people in his district. I will do everything in my power to unseat Wexler in the future. I am just so sorry I supported him in the past. I am an American citizen that will have my vote counted 100% and if that means me leaving the Democratic Party after all these years, then so be it. McCain now has my vote.
