		<description>Thanks Sen. Vitter for trying to make some sense of it all. The U.S. shows Russia and China how to get gas and oil out of the ground. We have unknown reserves of oil and gas and yet they are being surpressed by Gov&#039;t. so that we can become even more (totally) dependent of foreign oil. Makes no sense, unless U.S. is for sale and the spoils go to the highest bidder. Say NO to one global gov&#039;t. Stand strong against those who don&#039;t love this country.  They can LEAVE! </description>

I don&#039;t know how long you&#039;ve been standing at the gate, but people who are just now waking up thank you for tireless work. Don&#039;t give up now!!! You have lots of help and it grows every hour of the day.  
Stand strong, get re energized. I myself will be on the steps of the Capital building at noon, Thursday, 11/5/2009 to rally with congress woman Michelle Bachman. 
God bless our Founding Fathers and 
God Bless America!!!! </description>

		<description>I agree totally with Senator Vitter from my former home state of Louisiana. I am now represented by Senators Feinstein and Boxer (Worse and Worst). 
 
Common sense dictates we search for technology that will provide alternatives to energy independence. Rather than cap-and-trade shenanigans being put on the backs of ALL citizens, doesn&#039;t it make sense to leave the cost of research and development of energy alternatives to those willing to invest in free market companies?   
 
Rather than punish through overtaxing &quot;all those rich people&quot; so despised by anti-capitalists, why not encourage stock market investment by high- and middle-income earners. Both the public and those investing in successful companies enjoy a win-win situation as the needed technology comes to market. Investors willing to assume monetary risk would fund the search and would either make profit to reinvest or lose their investment, thereby protecting taxpayers from waste and fraud through government-sponsored programs; and none of us would be punished with higher costs we can ill afford because of mandated policies. 
 
We just need government to get out of the way and let investors front the money in free market companies. Capitalism is what made America successful in the past. </description>

		<description>They talk about the ice melting in Greenland,I am Danish and Greenland belongs to Denmark, well how do you think it got it&#039;s name?? The Danish people went there to FARM, that was abadoned when the ice formed, I am 77YO and I remember years in the late 30&#039;s in the &#039;40&#039;s, &#039;50&#039;s etc where we had abnormal temps, I&#039;ve seen jult 4th so hor you would think you would meld, I&#039;ve also seen so cool we wrapped in blankets to see the fireworks. It&#039;s called cycles.  When I went to school we saw how the world turned and how the sun was effected as well as temp. Now days we drain the kids brains out and fill their heads with crap. Point this summer has been unusually cool an wet, so far our fall has been both cool and warm, what will our winter be?? I need to go find a Farmers almanac, then I&#039;ll know maybe? Remember how we were told about the severe hurricanes we were going to have, well unless they come up where are they?? </description>

		<description>President Obama,  
please get out of the American household, car, school, and healthcare. We are not responsible for cleaning up the world and you were not elected to take over our country. I think I remember from History class, that  the three branches of Government are to govern by the will of the people. Elected officials, in this country, are to serve at the pleasure of the citizenry not the other way around. </description>

		<description>As a brilliant acquaintance of mine has stated:  
 
The greenhouse gas/CO2 debacle will eventually be seen as one of the greatest swindles/mis-information campaigns/conspiracy? of all times. &#039;Real science tells us it will be very simple to completely offset ALL of human caused CO2 emissions.  All we need do is nurture and restore the tidal swamps and mangrove flats as they permanently sequester the CO2 at extremely high rates--orders of magnitude faster and efficiently than forests, open ocean- or our &#039;CCS&#039; fairy tale. 
 
Real world experience shows me it is relatively easy to obtain a temperature indication which has the form xx.yy F.  However, it is orders of magnitude more difficult to establish with even 90% certainty the indicated temperature is accurate  to within even 1 degree, of the &#039;true&#039; temperature, much less the fractional degrees upon which unfathomably complex calculations and lengthy prognostications are made and taken as TRUTH . </description>
