S.22 Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2007
- Anonymous : Yes you do get a refund, clearly mentioned in text.
- Anonymous : No you dont get a refund. If you were currently paying the 1200 now, you could elect to stop payments. But since you've already paid you cant get it back. I'm in the same situation.
H.R.1585 Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act
- Blog Updates (20) Hide Blog Updates

- Anonymous : Does anyone know the status of the feasibility study ordered by Hutchison's SA 2233 for a Department of Defense to provide a feasibility study on Kelly Air Field's assest to support a national disaster response center.
- Anonymous : Are 100% disabled veterans and their dependents now authorized to spae available flights?
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.

- shsusig : To be fair, there are better bills out there right now including H.R.2642 that provide even better benefits for post-9/11 service-members. This one in particular was sponsored by Rep. Thomas Edwards (D-TX) so be careful what you say about Texan legislators! (current service-member in Afghanistan)
- frankt1939 : I'LL BET THESE SENATORS AND LEGISTATORS IN TEXAS DO NOT HAVE ANYONE SERVING IN THE MILITARY, OR THEY WOULD SUPPORT BILL # H.R. 2702. If the president is worrying about recruiting let him open a Draft if he thinks this new G.I. Bill will hurt Recruiting. GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY PERSONNEL. ( Prior Service member, Thank You

- Anonymous : Holy geez. My high school debate team has just had a field day. We're celebrating by eating lots of pork.
- alex : No bill should be allow to be this large. If a legislator can't read and understand it in a reasonable amount of time, it really shouldn't get an "Aye" vote.
H.R.3343 Comprehensive Health Care Reform Act of 2007

- New Comments (1)Hide New Comments
- mkail666 : I think item #3 of this bill is the most important. HSA's are a good idea and they'd be even better if they could be used for people to pay expenses completely out-of-pocket.
- judithkratochvil : This seems like a good idea because it allows people to spend their health care dollars any way they like.

Sen. Durbin
- americausa : I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. 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. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will 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. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!!
- Anonymous : Mr. Durbin, Thou shalt help the individuals in Iraq. They are suffering and if each state gives the help we need, we can all bond together and succeed. I hope you are realizing this current issue is a voluptious matter that needs to be recognized. Thank you for your time, much apprecciated. I would really enjoy having coffee with you sometime to discuss this matter. Sincerely, ...me.
Sen. Graham
- Anonymous : Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!! Vote all these bums out!!!!!!!!
- Anonymous : Lindsey are you a log cabin Republican?
Sen. McCain
- Anonymous : give this guy a pillow and let him get back to sleep. 21 years and ZERO sponsored legislation and only 5 co-sponsored passed - same as Obama in only 2 years. Guess who earns their salary....
- junothiall : It's not really about standing up to big oil - it's about standing up to the NIMBYS (Not In My Backyard) who want cheaper gas but don't want new oil refineries built anywhere near them! We can't handle anymore oil even if we got it, nor can we refine it, store it, or transport it. Our last refinery was built in 1959! Get with it people, try to get past the media and find the real reasons why things are the way they are.
Sen. Warner
- Anonymous : Thanks! for voting nay on S 3101 (Medicare Competitive Bidding Delay)...lets just turn this country into a socialistic society. Do you realize that by allowing competitive bidding you are making large companies get bigger and shutting down thousands of smaller DME companies, thus thousands of jobs have been lost. Medicare recipients have not been educated on this issue and are in for a scare. Thanks again....greed and money= US government!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And all those PEOPLE will remember how you vote on this issue.
- jgallop : They are all the same not a one of them fights for Americans anymore, they just go with the flow, sure wouldn't want to become unpopular..
Sen. Obama
- gkdaw_usa : I think if one or more of the senators have a vested interest in Oil or alterative energy, they should not be able to vote becouse they have a vested interest in one or the other and it will be the only way to get a real honest VOTE in Congress.
- kjnelan : While I may not agree with your issues, thank you so much for giving us your reasons and needs rather than rhetoric and junk.
Sen. Webb

- lerichards : Lawrence E Richards 352-585-5466 7272 Landsdale St. Brooksville, FL. 34601 law_richards@yahoo. Com Mar. 01, 08 Satellites used in Home surveillance No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’ Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and doing their dastardly thing. Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by ground coordinators, causing damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever, individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death. Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
