hi
sexy
Mr. Schiff:
I urge you to pass S. 2544 - the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008.
After having served honorably in Afghanistan and Iraq, I returned to a shaky US economy in July 2006 and was fortunately able to find a job relatively quickly. However, in late August 2007 I was laid-off and have been unable to find work since.
It seems obvious to everyone but the politicians that the economy is in a downward spiral. I think the experts call it a RECESSION! It seems that most politicians are too busy feeding at the trough at the public's expense, and are so disconnected to the reality of the economic crisis occurring in the country to even notice the disasterous state of the economy.
Can you say, "HOME MORTGAGE CRISIS, HIGH FUEL PRICES, STAGFLATION, RAMPANT UNEMPLOYMENT, MEDICAL INSURANCE COSTS THAT HAVE TRIPLED IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS?" Oh yea, I forgot, you politicians get the best medical insurance plans for FREE. I know, you've got to look out for No. 1.
Is this how politicians repay servicemen and women that risked their lives when called for duty? It's disgusting to see fat cat politicians living "high on the hog" while the rest of us are left scrambling for crumbs.
WAKE UP MR. SCHIFF and get your head out of your . . . the sand. We're in a RECESSION and the unemployed need relief RIGHT NOW, not tomorrow. Let's move S. 2544 along.
To whom it may concern:
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.
Sincerely, Lawrence E Richards 352-585-5466

Am I the only sane constituent that Adam Schiff has? No wonder he runs amok, not passing any meanful legislation. No disrespect to the Armenian people, but honestly Mr. Schiff, what good does it do Americans in this day and age when you waste valuable time sponsoring idiot resolutions condemning the massacre of Amernians? Have you got nothing better to do? How about pushing through some real legislation like S. 2544 - the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008, or relief for mortgage crisis, or look into why the oil companies are f...ing every time we go to the pump?
Mr. Schiff, how 'bout helping Mr. Lawrence Richards (who posted a message on this board on March 1, 2008) with some mental health assistance. Pass some meaningful legislation Mr. Schiff and make your So. Cal. constituents proud lest the voters decide you are not serving their interest and vote you out of office.

Yesterday, June 6, 2008 the Dow Jones plunged 395 points, oil price spiked to $139 a barrel and the Labor Dept. reported that the economy lost 49,000 jobs in May.
With such dire signs of economic doom and gloom Mr. Schiff, you would think that Congress and the Senate would take immediate action to stimulate the economy by passing HR 5749, Emergency Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 2008. Instead, Mr. Schiff, you and your colleagues caved in to Bush's harebrained "stimulus check" scheme. It's obvious that fuel prices have had a domino effect on the rest of the economy. Coupled with the housing crises, which has similarly affected the financial, insurance and building sector; the country is headed for a serious economic meltdown. It seems like everyone but our elected officials realizes that that the U.S. needs to take immediate action NOW.
Even people who have good jobs are finding it difficult to survive in an economy that's suffering from all the symptoms of a recession, although, don't tell the Blue Dogs that we're in a recession. These Heartless Blue Dogs democrats (including you Mr. Schiff) who are living high on the hog with their free rade A insurance plans while the rest of us pay through the nose for any type of half-way decent medical medical coverage.
Congress should have passed S2544 when Ted Kennedy proposed it back in the beginning of the year. Good Bless Ted Kennedy for trying to help the average Joe. At least Kennedy's S2544 would have served as a buffer for the downward spiral that the economy now faces and possibly bought people some time to try to get back on their feet before being thrown out of their homes or face financial ruin.
However, unlike the honorable Mr. Kennedy, our California elected representative, Mr. Schiff is too busy sponoring obscure and idiotic resolutions (like H. Res. 106) that do nothing to help AMERICANS here at home. H. Res. 106 calls on the President to "ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding of the Armenian Genocide" and to "accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1,500,000 Armenians as genocide."
Now tell me Mr. Schiff, how does H. Res. 106 help the average American TODAY with the high price of gas, or with trying to survive in this difficult economy? Now if you chose to focus your energy on the Armenian genocide issue, DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME. Don't waste taxpayer money on trying to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding of the Armenian Genocide. Honestly, nobody but a few freaking Armenians in Glendale give a rat's ass about the Armenian Genocide issue.
Oh but wait, Mr. Schiff didn't waste taxpayer money pushing H. Res. 106. He and Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz also visted Armenia and Azerbaijan. Mr. Schiff further wasted taxpayer money by introducing a bill urging Turkey to lift blockade of Armenia. Mr. Schiff also attended an event on Capitol Hill honoring of the 93rd Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. At this event, Mr. Schiff vowed to continue to lead efforts in Congress to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
Again, Mr. Schiff, why don't you concentrate pushing through some real legislation, like HR 5749, that would extend unemployment benefits to unemployed AMERICANS. Better yet Mr. Schiff, why don't you just introduce a bill to provide benefits to all the unemployed ARMENIANS since this is the constituency that you waste most of your time supporting. No, I've got a better idea. Mr. Schiff, why don't you just run for the KING OF ARMENIA and let someone who will really represent California's interests have your slot.
I guess Mr. Schiff just plan to wait until half of America loses their jobs, is thrown out of their homes because of the mortgage crises and the economy hits the skids before taking action.
Mr. Schiff, voters will remember how you and your heartless Blue Dogs democrats sold them out and turned their back on Americans come election time. Below is a list of the other heartless Blue Dogs democrats that are blocking passage of HR 5749. I urge to you write to them and express your concern. Better yet, show your disapproval the next time they come up for reelection. OUT WITH THE BLUE DOGS IN WITH THE NEW DOGS!
