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.....
Thank You for introducing the TARGET bill . Michigan thanks you
Your opposition to HR 5749 is unbelievable. There is no way to obtain benefits in IL. after only working two weeks. Your opposition to the bill is a complete lie and is just another way for you to deny deserving Americans an extension unemployment benefits. Since you are not up for re election I am sure that is why you opposed the bill. You are an unfortunate representative for IL. I hope you end up in Statesville prison or serving time with George Ryan. And after this vote unfortunately you will have a very tarnsihed record as we unemployed in IL. will continue to let you know about your mistake in not supporting this bill. And your outright lies in not supporting the extension of unemployment benefits.
Hey Jerry can you ever stand up for the middle class? You are a disgrace for voting no on unemployment extensions.
Get with program Mr Weller your all set with money & no worries. yet you continue to screw us out of u/e extensions.
I will continue my efforts to see that your seat will be taken by a democrat in the upcoming election. even though your not running.
you support nothing!!!
I hope when you are unemployed you worked 20 weeks or you will be screwed out of benefits too ya bum!
All 144 republicans are a disgrace if it was war money you have no objections!!!
Remember in November-down with the Repubilcans crowns!!
a divided party we fail-change , yes we can
You are heartless Rep. Weller. My children are starving and there are no jobs. We need the ue extensions. I would think you would know that representing IL. I will never vote Republican again.
Is your opposition worth the misery of millions Jerry? Sleep well you let a whole lot of folks down including those in Illinois. Illinois is ashamed of you tonight! Vote yes on HR5749 tomorrow for God's sake.
Pig Weller, Your opposition to HR 5749 is a disgrace. You should hang your head in shame for what you have done to the UE people of IL.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR FOOD FOR SALIVA WHEN YOU GO OUT TO EAT. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT A LOT OF FORMERLY UNEMPLOYED AND NOW FLIPPING BURGERS UNDEREMPLOYED WILL BE SERVING YOUR FOOD. GOD OR WHATEVER YOU WORSHIP HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL. THANKS FOR NOT CARING!
You look like a crook in your picture Jerry. Oh I forgot you really are a crook! Down with the Republicans! Vote yes on HR5749!!!!!
You looked like a rookie out there today shooting down UE benefits Jerry. The party you so faithfully serve just fed you to the lions son. How's it feel? HR5749 will pass tomorrow but you will now always be known as the guy who won't help the unfortunate who are your own people in Illinois. When is the last time you were home? Bet you would have voted for the bill if you knew anything about Illinois now. We are having rough times The people aren't suckers and now Illinois will always hate you. Guess you knew that since you are not seeking re election. You have no future son. Your a liar and have no honor and now everyone here in Illinois knows it. How did you ever get elected in the first place? Guess you will be a lobbyist now huh? Sleep well scumbag.
JERRY YOU SOLD US OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
JERRY YOU ARE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY CORPORATE AMERICA. YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE A LONG TIME AGO.
Everyone should go to the message boards of the areas these clowns that voted no yesterday and let the people know about what is going on I suggest craigslist . I have to get some sleep or else I would do it.
Weller HERE IS THE LATEST JOB REPORT YOU TELL YOUR REJECT REPUBLICAN PARTY
your lucky your not running for re-election, but still I will be voting against ALL republicans!!
Jobless claims jump to highest level since late March
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER,AP
Posted: 2008-06-12 08:44:02
WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of people filing new claims for unemployment benefits jumped last week to the highest level since late March.
The Labor Department reported Thursday that new applications for jobless benefits rose to 384,000, an increase of 25,000 from the previous week.
That was a much bigger gain than analysts had been expecting and indicated that the labor market still remains under pressure. Last week, the government reported that the unemployment rate jumped to 5.5 percent, up from 5 percent in April. That was the biggest one-month gain in 22 years.
YOU ARE A SAD EXCUSE FOR AN AMERICAN!!!! HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING WELL YOU KEPT FAMILIES FROM EATING, YOU ARE A SELL OUT!!!
Mr. Weller,
We are not lazy or looking for welfare. The vast unemployment in this country well exceeds the 5.5% number quoted. The longterm unemployed and the hundreds of thousands who have had to accept part-time employment need to count. Job shrinkage, plant closures, downsizing--all no fault of us hard-working Americans who believed the the middle class dream. This is a very tough economy. We want to work. Why do you have such distain for the average guy? Do not turn your back on Americans. We have not had job growth from this President. You are hurting us, your party and McCain's chances this fall. We will remember.
Born and Raised in the Land of Lincoln
How dare you refer to the UE as "people at you" about extensions. Your blatant disdain for the very people you represent is beyond anything I have ever seen. How dare you call yourself a representative of the people. You are unfit for office. I am glad you are not running again. You just wised up a lot of America. The Republicans opposition to HR5749 is appalling. I am not even affected by this myself but know many in Il that are. I just wanted to let you no that I can't believe the Republicans are now against decency and diginity for its own citizens in hard times and doing the right thing. May you never fall victim to your own standards of worth to qualify for a benefit you are entitled to. Shame on you and the Republican party. Liars and cheats all of you!
Hear that Weller? That is the sound of your precious Republican party going down in defeat. Stop supporting Bush and you might still have a chance but I doubt it. It will be a tough market for lobbyists with Obama as President!
Illinois will not forget your opposition to HR5749. You should be ashamed!

YOU AND YOUR REPUBLICANS COLLEAGUES SUCK AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR NOT RUNNING (TAX CHEATER) YOUR PARTY WILL PAY FOR TURNING YOUR BACK ON AMERICA
Weller read a paper , look around you , see what is happening to the economy!!!
Thanks for selling out once again for the middle class on the unemployment extension. I hope karma will pay you back in life.
I will not vote for any republicans in this upcoming election, Too bad you are not running so I could vote against you.
We are displeased with your NAY vote on H.R.5749. Please be aware that unemployed Republicans in ILLINOIS won't be voting for you or the other Republicans anymore, they will be voting for Democrats. The most upsetting idea you and your Republican Cohorts presented is that a person would be eligible for a year of unemployment benefits after working only a week! That is VERY misleading, it makes it seem like a person would be eligible for a large amount of money, when that is NOT the case. People need to know the truth. The truth is each state has eligibility requirements and stipulations for earning a certain amount in a certain period of time in order to be even eligible for any state benefits. The amount of the state benefit is only about 1/3 of your previously salary, and depends on the total amount earned while working during the look back period. Here in ILLINOIS you need to earn a minimum of $1600 in the look back period which consists of 4 quarters. Therefore a person who worked part time for one week and earned $1600 in that week would only be paid $50 a week for 26 weeks. Is $50 a full benefit to you? For this little amount of money, you and the other Republicans jeopardized this legislation, you are making millions of people continue to hurt and be desperate. We are not happy with you or the other Republicans, now your job is in jeopardy.
