H.R.627 - Credit CARD Act of 2009
- texasbud : A family member of mine has a stellar credit card rating and the company cancelled her account for lack of use. Talk about retalliation... Someone who is fiscally responsible is not as profitable. How do you make a fiscally responsible person profitable to a credit card company? Shut down their account which negatively affects their credit card rating. There is only incentive for them to do this without regulation. When your account is cancelled you have less available credit, thus driving down the FICO score which is used as a standard of credit lending. Pretty soon, that score will be measured on how profitable one is to a credit card company rather than how fiscally responsible one is!
- texasbud : right on!

H.R.3245 - Fairness in Cocaine Sentencing Act of 2009
- peterdruart : it would be fine if sex offenders were locked up if they were actually dangerous people but many that are on the list have not done anything deserving of life imprisonment
- pramsey : No sarcasm intended, I am curious as to where these ‘scientific studies’ were performed and where the results are available for the public to view. I will Google it and if I can find any I will post links here.

H.R.3567 - Respect for Marriage Act of 2009
- lego606 : DOMA literally flies in the face of the Constitution. ROMA is... better.
And I agree, the 14th Amendment says the same thing: YOU MUST GIVE EQUAL RIGHTS (basically).
2 Amendments vs. 1 law. Anybody remember how the Constitution overrides all other laws?
- kevinsmith1980 : It seems that this one will be buried too..... I guess Congress is too busy counting their money and elections to be concerned with Bills before them... even the ones who introduce them. LETS SEE SOME ACTION!

H.R.4213 - Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2010
- gramma56 : "HOMELESS FOR CHRISTMAS" is what I'm gonna be. I rent so I expect without Unemployment, I will be out on the street. I have gone through all the money I had. I am scared to Death. Thank You Congress.
- enrico17 : I cannot wait until Nov 2 to cast my vote against a long time Republican Congressman, who in previous years I voted for, because he voted nay to the unemployment extensions. However the election comes out at least I know that now it was my time to vote nay. This is what we all have to do.
Hope you are all doing well.

S.3065 - The Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2010
- kindrapring : Oh boo hoo. People might get equal rights. What a travesty.
You know it's people like you that opposed interracial marriage and eventually the courts realized that the majority isn't always right. The same is going to happen here, one way or the other.
- kindrapring : If there were laws where straight servicemembers were kicked out for ever hinting at their sexuality (that is, ever speaking of it, writing letters to their partners, talking to their partners over the phone, anything at all that might give away the fact that they're straight). The most likely no one would care. But there isn't. Sexual harassment is a huge issue BECAUSE straight people don't have those limitations that are forced on gay people in the military.
