When the bullsh!!! stops stuff will get done. Right now it has not stopped.
Thank you for speaking up on our behalf. Many thousands of us ran out of benefits weeks ago ... as for me, I lost my home after my job and now I am going to the food pantry! I am 55 and have worked since I was 14. It is hard for me to grasp that any political party would put its interests before that of the constituency they serve. By the way, I am a Democrat and none too thrilled at the President's conspicuous absence from this crucial debate.
Sincerely,
Mary D. Wills
IDIOTS. Harry Reid has attached this to Acorn funding. That's why republicans are not voting for the bill.
