The Ratings Filter allows you to determine how many user comments to view on pages here on OpenCongress. Setting the filter higher (towards 10) allows you to see only the comments rated "most helpful" by users, while setting the filter lower (towards 0) allows you to see more comments on a page.
User comments on OpenCongress are designed to allow real-world people to contribute their knowledge, insight, and expertise to legislation in Congress. OpenCongress comment boards are an open public forum for community discussion. Any information posted here will be viewable by all visitors. For personal correspondence with Congress, please contact your Senators and your Representative directly.
These comment boards are designed to "filter up" the comments rated "most helpful" by users. Every OpenCongress user has the ability to set his or her personal ratings filter higher, to view only the comments rated most-helpful, or lower, to view every comment on a page. Also, every user earns a site-wide rating for all the comments he or she submits, which can be viewed on his or her personal profile page. This serves as an incentive for individuals with Congressional expertise, or simply frequently-helpful comments, to comment more often on bills.
Comments may illuminate any of the following: overlooked details on the substance of a bill, where different Members of Congress stand on a bill, evaluations of a bill's chances of passing into law, which outside groups support or oppose the bill, links to important news coverage or blog analysis of a bill, or simply an individual's opinion on a bill.
The more comments you rate, the better that comment boards work for everyone -- so please make frequent use of the slider bars next to each comment! Together we can get closer to what's really happening in Congress.

Satellites used in Home surveillance
No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’ Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and doing their dastardly thing. Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by coordinators, causing damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever, individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death. Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits ran out last month. 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. Totally disgusting. So anytime I am not looking for a job, I will spend time and 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.

Gilchrest has long misrepresented his district and his departure represents the failure of a Big Lie campaign.
He might do well to move to Montgomery County.
