He talks a strong talk against government waste, and is liked by the National Taxpayers Union and Citizens Against Government Waste. However, at the same time, he blocked a bill which would require senators (incl. himself) to file their campaign finance statements electronically like everyone else. As a result, the FEC spends $250,000 reentering these senators' paper reports. Talk about waste! Minus some points for this guy.
For the sunlight foundation's take: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPURpyrl8Ro
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.
You should really be more tactful.
Senator John Ensign, We the People are calling on your Leadership in the Senate to push this War Funding Supplement, New GI Bill, Disaster Relief and the Extension of Unemployment Benefits through The Senate and on to the Presidents desk, in return he will sign into Law. This money is a must for people who earned it and need some help to get going again. Please push this Legislation through the Senate as is, the one the White House and the Congress Hammered out and agree on. Our President wants this Legislation so please do not add anything to it, just keep it as is and make everyone very Happy. Thank you for your time.
