		<description>Today Friday the 13th 2009 is &quot;Dependence Day&quot;.  The unread, unknown so-call Stimulus Bill will change America as we know it.  ALL the Democrats with only 7 breaking ranks drank the Kool-Aid, closed their eyes and voted on the Largest Single Taxpayer funded Bill in the History of the United States of America.  Some experts are saying that the ramifications of this so-call stimulus bill won&#039;t be fully understood for years; I firmly believe it and I&#039;m scared.  These are serious times and in just three weeks I&#039;m seeing another trillion dollar dept. This President and this Congress is on a 2 year mission and they are not going to waste a minute. These are the same people that held up Judges appointments for years, three weeks! What is BO going to do with Nancy and Harry next week.  
	There is Senator Lindsey Graham pouting on National TV about not even knowing what he is voting on. Why did the Republicans vote at all, they shouldn&#039;t have showed up! How are they going to get any press if they don&#039;t walk out and go home; tell there districts and states what is going on, have town hall meetings, hold rally&#039;s.  The Republicans in the United States Congress should not have showed up for work today and should have taken an extra-long weekend at home, talking. We have to educate &amp; warn what we know &amp; predict where we are heading.  
	Liberals Love predictions; since November with gas prices rising, unemployment is jumping, foreclosures are just starting to be held up, and a huge dept to pay during not-so-hard of times; I&#039;m telling friends that you think it was bad during the Bush years you aint seen nothing yet!   
	This is the Perfect Storm in American Political History; the Far Left is in Charge and the only hope we have is group-self-destruction, between BO, Nancy and Harry.  It&#039;s a good possibility and could help us with delays on Bills, ah for personal reasons. :^) Nancy was mad at Harry again yesterday for upstaging her, this kind of stuff happened during the Carter Administration. Carter was always at odds with one House or the other and both houses were Democrat Majorities.  
	It is important we remind everyone what happened today, Congress passed a Bill without even having time to read let alone understand what was contained in the Bill!  We were given the doublespeak of transparency in Government, the transparency I saw was Gross Arrogant Political Power.  The American people were to only have been given 48 hours to read and understand the final 800+ page convoluted Bill that contains absolutely no earmarks.  We were actually given 10 hours, (11pm to 9am) with no electronic listing of the so-called Stimulus Bill.  The electronic version was held on purpose from Congress.  At least one Republican built a team to attempt group-reading the printed Bill but was unable to complete the task before the vote.  Now, after the House &amp; Senate have voted we are hearing the huge change of government in the wake of this horrible Bill.  Earmarks everywhere! Stimulus almost no-where.  With a stroke of the pen BO will move us further towards Government dependency, just where Nancy and Harry want us.  We are no longer Citizens just dependants.  Celebrate; the Government is here and they want to help you; oh and BTW, they don&#039;t take no for an answer. 
Change we can Believe in! </description>

		<description>This stimulas bill is such a waste of our childrens freedom or possibility for economic stability. If it doesn&#039;t work (and it won&#039;t) I think those who voted for it should be forced to pay for it with their own money. Anyone who commits a crime should be forced to pay restitution and this is the biggest hiest in the history of America. It&#039;s child abuse to the generations that follow us...SHAME ON YOU!!! </description>

		<description>To my congressmen (sent via Downsize DC): 
 
I&#039;m upset that the stimulus bill passed. 
 
This bill is bad law, and will be bad for several future generations of U.S. citizens. It will not stimulate our economy, which was damaged by catastrophic events brought on and directly caused by your congressional errors and omissions. This bill will cause the further debasing of our currency, increase the size of our already bloated federal government, and thereby cause endless problems of unintended, but reasonably foreseeable, consequences. That you did not give your thoughtful attention or deliberation to this bill, or even bother to read it, prior to voting &quot;yes&quot; on such a monstrous bill, demonstrates incomprehensible arrogance and lack of concern for your constituents. </description>

		<description>It&#039;s time they enact the &quot;Read The Bills Act&quot;. Otherwise these shenanigans will go on forever. It&#039;s disgusting the arrogance of the congress. It&#039;s time we all say &quot;enough is enough! Since the media won&#039;t report these things it&#039;s up to us to pass the word to all the people we know. Imagine, handwritten notes in the bill they passed. If I was one of those that voted for it I would be ashamed to show my face. </description>

		<description>The least scrutinized bill EVER, from the least scrutinized candidate EVER to run for President. &quot;Change we can believe in! Hope! Yes, we CAN! Total transparany! Bipartisan dialog!&quot; All of it LIES!! 
 
We have a &quot;lemon&quot; law that lets you return a car in three days if it turns out to be be junk. How about the same for a piece of legislation that is sold to us under totally false pretenses. This is deceitful, criminal FRAUD at it&#039;s worst!  
 
Are you outraged, yet!! I am WAY beyond outraged and disgusted! We won&#039;t really NEED a new Commerce Secretary, since this administration is ending Capitalism as we know it. That&#039;s why Judd Greg pulled out. He realized that his job would be ceremonial, with nothing to do. </description>

		<description>If we as a people don&#039;t get our act together and stand up against this socialistic party, we will watch them take &quot;In God We Trust&quot; off the American note of financial trust (money) and then I will personally stop paying taxes at all!! Put my ass in jail if I don&#039;t shoot myself first. Give me liberty or give me death!&quot; Oh wait a minute, that&#039;s already been said over two hundred years ago when this country was trying to establish a more perfect union, &quot;One nation under God with liberty and justice for All!&quot; What the hell has happened?!! </description>
