Featured Members of Congress
On January 17, 2008 Charles Schumer was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
In developing their economic stimulus package, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has indicated that Democrats are willing to forgo the budgeting restrictions they implemented last January. "One of the things I thought was going to be more of a problem was going to pay/go. There's not unanimity, but you know, a growing consensus that this is not the time for pay/go because you want to inject money into the economy," Schumer said.

COME ON PUSH FOR THE UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION. IT'S A GOOD THING . THE UNEMPLOYED MAY BE ABLE TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES, KIDS CAN FINISH THE SCHOOL YEAR UNDER A ROOF.
Get off the backside of your butt and do SOMETHING for this country. Rip the environmentalists a new body cavity and get our own oil in our system so we can save the 6.1 TRILLION dollars the arabs are going to reap from this latest increase in a barrel of oil. What must we do to heat our homes? Paying more than 3 bucks a gallon for heating oil is ludicrous because our government can't stand up for us. Give more money to the world, The cost of making ethanol is costing more than it's worth in burning in a car. All that's accomplishing is to drive up the cost of food. Nice going, a real snooker job on congress for this fiasco. Go environmentalists and Al Gore, wreck this country as fast as you can.

Dear Senator Schumer,
I have just read the article in the link above that describes how our country is representing me. My disgust and outrage with this disregard for human rights makes me angered to have to own up to this representation by my government.
In the most humble way possible, as a citizen of the United States, I beg of you to stop the actions of detention without representation or charges, torture and any other non-compliance with US law on international grounds. It misrepresents the freedom that we would like the world to see us for and makes it more unsafe for the citizens of this country and others.
Thank you for your time in reading my plea. I hope we can hold our heads up proudly once again as Americans when this blood has been washed away.
Dear Sr. Schumer,
Please push for an extension on unemployment benefits. I lost my job in the real estate market and am having difficulity finding another position. I am sure there are many people in the same position. I have 3 children one hopefully on his way to college if I can afford to send him.
The stimulus package is not going to help me enough.
Thank You
NIGHTMARE
GIVE ME UNEMPLOYMENT SUPPORT OF GIVE ME DEATH! Help us! And please do the following!
IMPEACH GEORGE BUSH! A TRAITOR! A LIAR! A THEIF! PUT HIM IN THE STREET! EVERYONE SPEAK OUT! DON'T JUST WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. GET UP AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!
