Posted by rclaire 11/18/2008 12:00 PM PST Why Hillary?? Now her dubious benefit to the state of New York (she dumped her home state fast enuf!) is to have to have another off-term senate election - risking a Democratic seat and costing everyone more money. Thanks, Hill.
I would like to know the environmental impact of our shuttle and military launches. Do they pass the smog test? Our weather is always affected by the launches yet the science community remains unacceptably mute on this subject and should be accountable. Also, the sonar testings should be banned.

Posted by maxdge1 08/05/2008 12:00 AM PDT Why are you so stubborn. You were elected in a very liberal state and all indications are that we want to have off shore drilling and drilling in Anwar. I would like to know who is going to go to Alaska to see the carabou. I believe it is only the elite who can afford it. Why don't you want to support the common people here in the Middle of this great nation.
Your democratic congressmen and congresswomen will vote if you give them the opportunity. This charade you are foisting on the public before the elction is laughable. Telling them to lie to the American people about their support for drilling is, i believe, treasonable and you should be impeached.

Then this web site pops up whenever your name is or email is googled, whenever someone is vetting your resume, etc. Please, moderator, wherever you are, take down this old web site or allow it to be modified by the users! Thanks.

Posted by joann 07/30/2008 12:00 AM PDT Now that the House Judiciary Committe's held Karl Rove in contempt,
are you going to allow a floor vote? If not, why not?
Hundreds of thousands of people have signed -- and are still signing -- petitions protesting Rove's abuses, including the persecution of a Democratic
governor.
I'm sure you know people are refusing to contribute to the DNC until you act on
this. So what are you going to do?

Posted by vbyrd6 07/21/2008 12:00 AM PDT What type of Social Security reforms are pending? I support privatizing the Accounts of every Americian Citizen 'who directly paid into the fund' and every benefit-receipient collecting on deceased spouses who also paid in then died without collect THEIR MONEY, and those who paid in then became diabled. And those who Law decided (under 18 heirs) were receipient of deceased taxpayer.
If the Government "opened bidding to the top insurance companies in the nation," those companies must be backed by an INSURANCE (like FDIC Protections) for every CITIZEN who selects this option. Annuities for those collectioning now and 401Ks (or other saving like products), for those still under retirement age.
This would require a new census Nation wide to PROVE citizenship and number of years in the program. Each person who selects this option would be audited to prove they are who they claim to be, are a resident, and citizen. This NEW CITIZEN SYSTEM,(ie. NCS), would be audited and proof of same sent to the holder and the company selected, (or top 5 oldest companies.) Since there are so many in the system perhaps you could select perhaps sectors of coverage so that several companies could manage the large numbers. I would think you could get backing for this.
However; I do not support the Government doing anything other then providing an Insurance for full coverage at lowered amounts for all collectiong SSI and tie it to Medicare Medicaid allowing full coverage for retired Americians. The government SHOULD NEVER be allowed to BORROW from these funds - ever!

Would impeachment follow, if it was revealed that the president won the election with the help of Diebold, which the republican help implement as a major voting tool? www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjFHNfKWkCs and also looking through the scope of what has transpired under his administration. this subject would fall under four categories, foreign, domestic, technology, but I'll choose elections/strategy

Posted by jen.wahl 07/19/2008 12:00 AM PDT I keep reading about all this stuff about punishing this official and this other official... But, what about these people that beat, rape, kidnap, sell, dehumanize children? they STEAL these children's future lives. They destroy an entire individuals ability to exist normally. Who will then, go on to, often times, affect or infect others negatively. When, are, we, as ADULTS going to protect children? Children who CANNOT vote; basically, have no rights? When is someone going to be brave enough to attack this and hold these abusers responsible for their behavior? Our ENTIRE future is in our children... doesn't that seem worth protecting?

Since Seymor Hersh and other highly respected experts on the imminent danger
of Bush/Cheney ordering a preemptive attack on Iran to criple the next Democratic presidency, and since the only thing that might empower the generals to refuse such an order would be to start impeachment, WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO PRESSURE CONYERS TO NOT PROCEED WITH IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS??!!

What will Congress do to end mountaintop removal coal mining, which is devestating communites and mountains in central Appalachia. Will you start by cosponsoring the Clean Water Protection Act, which would disallow coal companies from dumping millions of tons of toxic mining waste into valleys, many which are the headwaters of much of the eastern United States.

Speaker Pelosi,
Thanks for speaking out against loan guarantees for nuclear power. Unfortunately, these massive taxpayer based subsidies keep ending up in bills. Nuclear power is incredibly expensive and threatens to divert funding from energy efficiency and renewable energy, the clean safe energy solutions that exist today. What will you do to stop nuclear loan guarantees?
Nuclear plant licenses are now being sped through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, mostly proposed for the southern US in areas that are poor and without the resources to fight. Green jobs are needed in these communities immediately, and funding for nuclear power should be halted immediately.

Which department of the U.S. government is in charge of arresting criminals in the U.S. government? We have plenty of proof that G.W. Bush is a war criminal. Vice president Cheney is also obviously a criminal. And yet you have given them a free pass, just so you can gain a few extra political points, hoping it will increase the chances for a democratic win this fall.
Criminals should not be allowed to run this country. You made a deal with the devils. How do you live with yourself? I guess all the money you have helps you to distract you and avoid the knowledge that you have failed to bring these criminals to justice. You do not deserve to have the post you have been given. And to think, I was on your side and hoping you would win.
You still have time to do what is right and arrest the current president, vice president and key members of his administration on the charges of war crimes, illegal energy deals and so much more. Send Bush and Cheney to the Hague NOW!

Since we have spent trillions of dollars bringing democracy to the world, isn't it time we did the same for the USA?
One of the best democratic things you can do is to do away with the electoral college and bring direct election of our president to the USA.

Every other industrialized nation uses a version of single payer, which leads to better health outcomes for everybody, at less cost for everybody. In fact, doing away with the insurance industry's bureaucracy to deny health care would save enough money to cover everybody who isn't covered now!
Single payer is the best policy; you should support it.

The Bush FCC slated Net Neutrality for elimination. Barack Obama pledged in an MTV/MySpace presidential forum to make the re-instatement of Net Neutrality a priority for his first year in office. Will you make that same commitment and pledge to pass Net Neutrality legislation through the House in 2009?

Posted by thomas 07/18/2008 12:00 AM PDT There is an ancient Native American proverb that says "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." What are your thoughts on how to improve a) our failing education system and b) the planet which we are growing up in? After all, we are the future.
Thank you!
