H.R.1955 Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
- Anonymous : This is just a waste. There is no possible way to prevent terrorism on our soil no matter what precautions we take. If you really want to stop home grown terrorism than you have to leave the civil liberties of the people intact, and leave it to the people to guard against it. Remember people the D.C. snipers appeared to be uncatchable by the authorites. The only reason why they were caught was because the authorities gave the PEOPLE information on what they were looking for, and it was a repairman that spotted the vehicel that the snipers were using to get around in. The authorities only reacted on the information and arrested them. We the people have to be the ones to prevent terrorism not the government. By allowing them to pass this it only opens the door to our civil liberties to be infringed. It will start off as a study then turn into legislation that bases it off of what they find. National wire taps, e-mail screening that ques to certian phrases, and ( yes this is going to sound like a back woods hillbilly ) stricter backround checks on firearm purchases ( maybe restrictions on what calibers, lengths, and types). This bill is absolutely a waste of our time and money to pass.
- dax702 : I oppose this bill, vehemently! And I will be contacting my senators to vote no on it.

H.R.1964 Freedom of Choice Act
- mistahtom : The choice of a woman to have an abortion or not needs to be preserved. Just because it is legal to have an abortion, doesn't mean that people will have them, solely because it is legal, as some people think. Attempting to make a decision harder for a woman by legislating your belief, especially in a higher power is a violation of human rights, because you are taking away the choice of a woman whether or not to have a child.
- TX22 : All these people think they are GOD. They think it is okay for a woman in America to kill an American child before they are born. Vote every one of these suckers out of office
in Jesus name. Amen
May GOD bless all of us, U. S.

S.2248 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008
- Anonymous : We have just witnessed multiple felonies committed by Herr Bush to cover up multiple felonies that the Telecoms committed. But if it were you or I that did it, they would hound us and get some whore prosecutor to hang us. Ahhh, Amerika!
- Anonymous : The telecoms always had immunity. Congress took the power to do the work from the government. Telecoms can't do this work for the government anymore because they will be sued when Congress changes it's mind again. The CEO will be fired for incompetence.

H.J.Res.74 H.J.Res.74
- imakeroads : Equality in marriage for homosexuals does not just benefit homosexuals, it benefits the entire society. My wife of twenty some years figured out that she was repressing her true orientation as a lesbian. If she could marry her partner, they both could check the box "married" on their 1040 form, and that would legally end my obligation to pay her spousal support (aka alimony). But NOOOOO. They can't get married, so they cohabitate and live as if they are married, and I still pay alimony. I've been a nice guy and allowed a "legal separation" to linger so she can continue to be on my health insurance, but if she could get married, she'd get better health insurance from her partner, who is a veteran; but instead...I'm still technically "married" and can't get on with my life to remarry my fiance. This situation is preventing me from having a "marriage between a man and a woman"...so I'm cohabitating with her.
Do you see how non-recognition of my 2-b-x's relationship as a marriage is hurting the "marriage between a man and a woman?". I mean, come on! Get off your homophobia and treat everyone equally. It is not marrying your dog, it is not marrying a third person...stop with all of those lame comparisons. Once upon a time we didn't allow marriage between two races. Thomas Jefferson had a common law marriage with a black woman. Get with Canada and other civilized countries and recognize that allowing marriage between two loving human beings, regardless of gender, is the moral and holy right thing to do, even if government really should stay out of the whole thing like others are saying. Unfortunately, the government has that damn 1040 form with it's "filing status" definition. Will you add a box that says "domestic partnership"? I don't think so. So the only solution to my problem is to allow marriage between two adults, regardless of gender.
- seatwist : This is not the belief of just a few. It is the majority request of Americans to have it defined as marriage between one man and one woman. We are the voters asking for this law. Congress did not sit down one day and decide to change history. It is the voters who have been pressuring congress to pass a law.
