    What kind of tea do you prefer? Lipton, green tea, or do you like something stronger....Earl Grey ? Please watch the video "We The People Stimulus Package" by Thomas Paine. That is how everyone that I know feels. We are ALL angry. We want our country back! We want the borders closed. We want term limits. We don't want our state broke because we are giving free medical/SSI benefits/welfare to 20,000,000 illegal aliens. WE pay taxes. We pay into Social Security. Congress is not listening! YOU are our voice in Washington. Please listen to your voters! WE elected you, you are supposed to represent us! We will be sending our teabags to Washington. Linda Barga

    I had been a republican from the time I was 19 until 55. I voted for John Kerry. I like you very much and plan to continue to vote for you. Mary, I never thought in my wildress dreams that I would see the Republican party be the downfall of this great nation of ours. Please help in anyway our new President Obama. I would appreciate you letting other Republicans know that this citizen was once a very strong conservative and always voted Republican. I feel over the years the party has gone astray. I am spiritual but do not consider myself like the religious citizens that seem to have taken over the party. I pray we will pull out of this and I do not like seeing what the Republicans are doing now to block and create problems. Respectfully Vicki Brown

    While I'm on the internet. My husband is a care giver. I have been married to him for 13 months. In the time I have known him and have learned about the care giver, I feel strongly that the care giver needs more protection These health care providers do alot and take alot of abuse. He has been yelled at, told to do jobs around the house that are not in his job discription. They don't get breaks as they are expected to continuously work as the patient and their families want their money worth. I would very much appreciate it if you would look into this. Many of these health care providers are from other countries. They in many cases are not being treated right. Their job description seems to fall under the housekeeping labor law. My husband has worked with breaks, lunch breaks, and rest breaks. He has been expected to wash cars, doing gardening, etc. Please look into this to help give better rules to protect these people who care for patiences at home. Thank you

    Hello Mary ~ I know you resonate with your voters about our governments big power grab in Washington - unfortunately, for them, they've finally pushed too far and awaken the giant! Enough is FINALLY enough!!! We are organizing a peaceful TEA Party Rally in Palm Desert at the Civic Park from 5:30 to 6:30 on the 15th. If you are in town, we'd love to have you join us. This is a great opportunity for your constituency to see that some of our elected officials actually DO work for us!!! Please have your office email me back to let us know if you can join us. Thanks for all your effort on our behalf! Shelley Gerhardt, WE SURROUND THEM!

    STIMULUS BILL SCAMS before the House of Representatives: My folks and I called US House Representative Ed Royce's Orange County office on Friday (3/27/09) about the social security benefits for illegal aliens and other "pork" issues that were attached to back of the stimulus bill and approved by the Senate. (What slime ball expatriot group would bankroll lobbyists pushing agendas that would harm US citizens' social security?) For the record, hasn't the damage done to our health, employment (why do I have to be "bilingual" to qualify for an interview) and educational systems enough? Royce's office told us there are over 8,000 earmarks on the stimulus bill's backside. Other earmarks were 1) not penalizing or requiring AIG to refund taxpayer bailout bonuses and 2) removing the E-verify requirement for contractor's bidding on the stimulus construction projects to hire Americans only. We've still got 7,993+ unidentified government giveaways to uncover. We need to call/write our congressman and Speaker Pelosi before the bill is passed by the House and request a list of the earmarks. Royce's office said they would compile a list to the best of their ability. Why isn't the media involved in exposing and slamming the cloaked earmark agendas that hurt us? Where's the warning in plain English? Maybe I'm a lame middle-aged voter, but 8,000 earmarks stacked onto one bill might constitute a political Ponzi scam. I'm a very scared US citizen.
