  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.

  I need your help to END the use of two poisons that seriously threaten people, pets and our wildlife.
  
  In 2006, sodium cyanide and sodium fluoroacetate (commonly called Compound 1080) killed an average of 1.6 animals every hour. These poisons are considered to be some of the deadliest toxins known to humanity. Yet, Wildlife Services, a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), uses these two poisons to kill coyotes and other predators.
  
  Will you help me end the use (and misuse) of these two poisons by urging the Environmental Protection Agency to eliminate sodium cyanide and sodium fluoroacetate?
  
  Take action online at:
  
  http://action.defenders.org/wildlifepoison
  
  These poisons don't just threaten their intended targets. They often times poison any threatened or endangered species,
  people or domestic pets that happen to come into contact with them.
  
  Sodium cyanide is used in M-44s, which kill more than 10,000 animals each year, including domesticated dogs and a whole host of other "non-target" species, such as rare kit foxes, ringtails [http://en.wikipediaorg/wiki/Ring-tailed_Cat], javelinas [http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/urban_javelina.shtml], and swift foxes.
  
  M-44s have also killed California condors and wolves.
  
  Compound 1080 can be deployed in poison collars placed on sheep and goats. It is highly toxic to birds and mammals and has been used to illegally kill wolves. Carcasses with Compound 1080 must be handled as hazardous waste. If ingested, they can kill wolves and other animals. Compound 1080 is classified as a chemical weapon in several countries.
  
  The continued availability of these poisons, pose a great threat to people, pets and even homeland security.
  Government reports have concluded that Wildlife Services has been "unable to account for stockpiles of the toxins", which leaves the hazardous materials vulnerable to undetected theft and certainly unauthorized use.
  
  There are effective alternatives to these poisons, including a wide range of proactive, nonlethal methods such as fencing, guard animals, fladry lines, non-lethal ammunition and improved animal husbandry. For the safety of our people, our pets and our wildlife, will you take a few moments to help end the use of sodium cyanide and Compound 1080?
  
  We only have until noon on Wednesday March 5th to submit our comments to the Environmental Protection Agency, so please take action today at:
  
  http://action.defenders.org/wildlifepoison
  
  Thanks for taking the time to help!
  
  Sincerely,
  Monica Koziol

  Thank you for strongly supporting the dignity of human life. I wish to especially thank you for the steps you have taken to protect the unborn, which have included reinstating the Mexico City Policy, vetoing a bill that would have required U.S. taxpayers to fund research that kills human embryos, and supporting pro-life legislation such as the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act. We must continue to have strong leaders that will continue to protect the unborn. I resent any of my hard earned tax money supporting the Planned Parenthood's agenda to kill as many children as possible.
  
  I am especially grateful to you now for sending Congress a letter vowing to veto any legislation that undermines pro-life policies. Your leadership deeply encourages the growing pro-life community.
  
  What has happened to the government that is supposed to be "by the people and for the people?" Why does congress feel they have the right to dictate what business owners must do--like covering health issues of employees that elect to cross dress, or who need therapy because of their extreme sexual lifestyle. Why should we be forced to pay for their choices that many of us do not support? I am so against the government trying to run everything in our lives.
  
  I don't want any of my tax dollars supporting same sex marriages. God will not continue to bless America if we continue down the immoral path that the ACLU, the Planned Parenthood and even the laws that our government are passing.
  
  Please continue to veto anything that is against God's laws.
  
  Thank you,
  
  Dee Williamson
  
  I resent that our government is making laws that are taking us back to why our forefathers endured hardships to come to America—their governments were passing laws dictating how they were to worship God and when they didn’t go along with the laws they were killed or put into prison. Now that is happening here—the very fact that we can’t display a nativity scene or sing songs mentioning God, or we can’t display crosses, etc. Our forefathers must be turning over in their graves to see where we are heading. If I am a business owner and don’t want to sell “after sex pills”, or I won’t hire a child molester, or I won’t pay medical expenses for immoral sex choices, I should be protected by my government to allow me freedom to believe in what I stand for.

  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.
