Weekly Update

It's been a long and exhausting week.  First, the Senate was finally able to pass a watered down version of H.R. 4213, which extends Unemployment Benefits to millions of Americans through November 30.  It does not extend the $25 per week, Federal Additional Compensation benefit.  After a nearly 2 month battle over bread and butter to millions of Americans, this bill made its way down to the House, and finally, the President, on Saturday.

Let's see what else our politicians were able to sneak through this week:

GRRRRRRRRRR.....!


I'm MAD AND YOU WILL BE TOO!

• Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves raises at $4,700 in the House and $5,300 in the Senate.

• They voted to not give you a Social Security cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011

• Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 each or -$3,200 for husband and wife

• Over 2-yrs The House & Senate each get $10,000 raises

Do you feel SCREWED?

WILL your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase? You better believe they will!

WILL THEIRS?  NO WAY .. They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you?  You never did anything about it in the past..

You're obviously too stupid or don't care. No offense; just making a point!

Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?


SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.


IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS, THAT IS 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE!


MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND TELL THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.


It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.

Maybe it's time for the........ 28th Amendment

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .."

Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America .

If you don't do anything in November, then you are just part of the problem of national apathy.
