Perhaps your Representative will have Town Hall Meetings
during his/her August vacation. I look forward to asking my Representative. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, or HOW MUCH DID YOU GET FOR SELLING US OUT?"

1. You'd either be arrested or shouted down by teabaggers.
Or both.

3. Hopefully I wont be alone.
It's time for America to say ENOUGH. I hope I am not the only one thinking this, either way, I owe it to those who come after me to at least TRY.

5. You won't be alone, you'll be in a room full of old white
bearded tebaggers. They'll use you as example. It's a waste of time. Anyway, they have all used the Giffords thing as an excuse to distance themselves from any possible form of hostility.

10. What is the alternative when they control one of the Houses of government?
We have no choice but to deal with the elected representatives of U.S. voters, whether we like them or not.

6. How about just a clean bill ......... yes or no
Too much garbage in this one and no one knows where it will lead with the super congress
six months to work on a bill and they wait until the last minute to bring it forward
and the republicans promised in the house that all bills would be posted on-line
for 72 hours before a vote so everyone would have a chance to read it

promises promises

7. Oh instead of jobs
the focus will remain on those poor poor billionaires and Tax Cuts. Again America gets screwed.

9. I am not sure what you are talking about
I do not see any jobs being created by this bill
I even see jobs being lost and politicians running around
saying we have to cut more

11. Obama said back in April that's what should be done
and Boehner turned him down cold. What should Obama have done next? My way or the highway? A clean bill or we'll go into default?
