Obama telling us how to live, Bull, HA. Who do you thick you are.rn20. Global Warming farce by the RICH to maKE MONEY rn21. Climate Change is a farce, money making, regualtion sceem.rnrnrnrnrnMy GOd our largest employer in the Mahoning Valley is the Austintown School District, what does that say about our area, looks alot like DEtroit and area Michigan. Our road are in disrepair, areas of vacant houses, vacant lots, 27 miles of open space where steel plants used to be. People moving out of the area, our tax rate is going up, less services, no fire dept.rnrnUNION JOBS, drilling for oil, also make more different jobs, NOWrnrnThe Democratic Party, with there Cap-an-Trade Policy, Global Warming Farce, and Eco-Liberal views, and Raise Taxs on everyone, including Corporations and industries, The people of the Mahoning Valley have not have a chance to get better union jobs. 35 years of Democratic Rule.rnrnHey everyone our Democratic Party leader for Elect President is going to charge the Oil Companies a win-fall profit tax, and give us a $1,000.00 dollar tax prize, if he gets in. Gee who do youreally thinks is going to pay at the pump. for the Bri......... WE will pay, the companies are going to pass the pain at the pump to US, higher prises for oil products, gas, food, ect. rnrnAmericans want Drilling NOW for oil, not later.rnrnOhioians/Conservative Democrates for Drilling Oil and Great Jobs it will create CommittiernrnrnDrill here, drill now. Put everything on the table: drilling, nuclear, wind, solar, electric cars, water, shale oil, and “appropriate tire inflation", anything that will help us reduce our dependence on foreign oil. ANYONE who doesn't advocate for all possibilities, including drilling off the Florida Coast and the continental shelf, in ANWR, in the shale oil fields, building more refineries will not get my vote. So what if it takes a few years to get the oil from the gulf to market? If we had started it a few years ago, it would be here by now and we wouldn't be in quite the mess we're in. This needs to remain a national issue even if gas prices at the pump come down. The issue will no doubt return (Many of us remember the 70s gas crisis.), so make this a concerted effort to fix for all time.rnUnion jobs wanted. rnOil JOBS are UNION jobs, great paying jobs, that also bring other great paying jobs to support, services, food, medical, construction, pipe companies, steel, banks, electrical, plumbing, lumber , oil production products and clothing, ect..rnrnMr. Rep, I was watching TV in YO last night, a woman was at a Food Center crying because she couldn't feed her children, now/today I’m watching TV to-night and a clean coal plants wants to move in the area and the Environmentalist are suing so the plant can't get a permits and start with jobs, great paying UNION jobs, when are you Democratic congressman going to do something about ECO-nuts abusing the laws to keep UNION and great paying jobs from moving in the area. Wasn't the mid-70's enough Closing our steel, and pipe mills, 27 miles of nothing, the Mahoning Valley of once steel mills, now paire land. Thanks to the EPA, and the environmentalist of the 70's. Jimmy Carter years.rnrnWHY don't you people HELP us and our CHILDREN, for their FUTURE, STOP the ECO's from abusing laws or do you like watching woman crying because they can't feed their CHILDREN, do it for the CHILDREN..rnrnPlease pass laws that stop the environmentalist from suing to stop nuclear plants, clean coal plants. rnrn2nd, Mr. Rep, D, OH; We demand you HELP us build, Nuclear Plants, Coal Plants, Wind Mill Plants add ones, Help Clean Coal technology, Build Clean coal Plants, Build Plants, industry, Tax breaks for Hybrid Technology and electric cars and trucks. HELP us give commercial and industrial tax breaks for solar energy us.rnrnOIL products HELPS US: rn1. build roadsrn2. Make plasticsrn3. Make foamrn4. Paints, car oil, Vaseline, cloths, ect.rnrnrnThe chemical structure of petroleum is composed of hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. Because of this, petroleum may be taken to oil refineries and the hydrocarbon chemicals separated by distillation and treated by other chemical processes, to be used for a variety of purposes. See Petroleum products.rn[edit] FuelsrnThe most common distillations of petroleum are as various fuels. These include:rn• Ethane and other short-chain alkynes rn• Diesel fuel (petro diesel) rn• Fuel oils rn• Gasoline rn• Jet fuel rn• Kerosene rn• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) rn• Natural gas rn[edit] Other derivativesrnCertain types of resultant hydrocarbons may be mixed with other non-hydrocarbons, to create other end products:rn• Alkenes (olefins) which can be manufactured into plastics or other compounds rn• Lubricants (produces light machine oils, motor oils, and greases, adding viscosity stabilizers as required). rn• Wax, used in the packaging of frozen foods, among others. rn• Sulfur or Sulfuric acid. These are useful industrial materials. Sulfuric acid is usually prepared as the acid precursor ileum, a byproduct of sulfur removal from fuels. rn• Bulk tar. rn• Asphalt rn• Petroleum coke, used in specialty carbon products or as solid fuel. rn• Paraffin wax rn• Aromatic petrochemicals to be used as precursors in other chemical production. rnrnrnOpinion of a Conservative Democratic supporterrnGOD bless Hillary ClintonrnGOD bless Mr. President George BushrnGOD bless the Oil Companies for their best efforts, in spite of the Environmentalist, and the Democratic PartyrnGOD bless our CHILDRENrnGOD bless John McCain for the TRUTH. rnGOD bless AMERICArnrnrnPlease HELP us, in the Mahoning Valley and the United States. We need UNION great paying jobs, not environmentalist scaring corporations away with stupid, lying law suits. If not for the adults, then does it for our CHILDREN, and their FUTURE. We need great great paying jobs. rnAsk this question Mr Rep, and ask Ms Pelosi, do you like watching MOTHERS crying on TV because they can’t feed tier CHILDREN????????????What’s Your ANSWER MR. REP ?? rnIf you answer this question with a YES, then we will VOTE for someone that will Say NO!!!!!!!!!!!and will HELP US. Your past vote and future votes are being watch.!!!rnrn&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&rnHey everyone our U.S. Rep is an envor-weenie, we must cleanup our 27 miles of steel plant area because of our industrial blunders days, 57,000 jobs down the drain in the Jimmy Carter years mid-70's, because of our industrial blunders days. The Steel Valley is a industrial blunder, 35 years of Democratioc Party Rule. Gee what you see on your local TV station.........We must clean up our industiral blunders.rnrnHow about some one HELP US, is that the reason we put you eletist-eco-liberals in Congress, get the COn out of the Congress, HELP us stop the Eco-weenies from abusing the laws for stopping economic growth in this counrty. WE NEED oil jobs, that bring about other jobs, great paying jobs. PLEASE HELP US>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!for the CHILDRENrnrnToday again i watched TV news, Mr U.S. Rep on TV, more 10 years away thoughs, raillines Train service from cleveland to pittsburgh, that one of are u.s. Rep's D though about 40 years ago.rnThe same-o-same-o, one thing abaout the Democratic Party rule, no new anything, just bring back the same old things, reaching back 40 years. This is for our new generation to hear.rnrnCount me among the 78% of American people who believe that with appropriate safeguards to protect the environment, we should drill for oil off America’s coasts and in Alaska to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.rn%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%rnLike OBAMA said at today’s rally, Change; We can have; Yes Sir, Same old Socialist bull;rnWhere the fix for today or next week at, The Mahoning Valley gets lied to by all Politicians, and after 35 years of Democratic Rule, we look like Detroit Michigan. Change: Tax the profits of the oil companies; 1970's, Raise taxes on the middle and rich; 1970's, Use renewable technologies 15 to 30 years away. Electrical cars 10 to 15 years away. Wind mills for electric to kill the birds. $Rebates a con to get you to vote for them. All the old Democratic Party line form the 70's that didn't work.rnrnMr. REP; Dear Sir: I checked my air pressure and had my car tuned today; I didn't see any cost saving for oil, gas, but it did cost me $9.00 for gas to get there; $26.00 for oil change, A REALLY GREAT OIL; ENERGY POLICY. ALSO A NOT IT COST US $$16.00 to go to the OBAMa RALLY. rnrnMr. Rep, WE demand oil jobs NOW, Great paying jobs for OHIO, NOT political promises, the TRUTH for a CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!rnrnDrill NOW, for UNION JOBS, MR REP> D., OH!!!!!!!!!!!For our CHILDREN< and their FUTURE. rnrn1975 thru 1979rnrnThirty years ago today, the announcement came that would forever change life in the Mahoning Valley, Sheet & Tube would shut down all steel operations. We talked to some who witnessed that event, from inside the mills and around the valley.rnA tragic time that began in the valley on Sept. 19, 1977, the day the Sheet and Tube Corporation announced the shutdown of operations. One of the oldest and most productive steel mills in the country was about to go dark, forever recording the day on Mahoning Valley hearts and minds as Black Monday.rnChris can remember her hands shaking, knowing this was big. John could not believe that eight thousand men were going to walk out at the end of the day and never come back.rnSome knew, stunned Youngstowners at the time that this was the end of something more than a job. This was quite a devastating blow and many felt it would never recover. And that it would make Youngstown a ghost town. They were right. Job losses mounted people left and Youngstown shrank to half of its size. While other industries came, nothing could replace the livelihood steel had provided for a century.rnEven though he had seen the company struggle with modernization for a decade, Black Monday was a shock. He believes management misread the new federal regulations and foreign markets.rnAnd so the Mahoning Valley was forced to change, but it was a painful process, and one that is not yet behind us. Is this what you really want to go back to with OBAMA. This is 35 years of Democratic Party rule in the Mahoning Valley.rnrnrnDrill for oil now or the above will happen again.rn###############################We need to know before we vote OBAMA = CarterrnCarter's policies didn't work then and they will not work now. We need to drill for our own resources NOW. This mantra of nothing getting to the pumps for over ten years is a sham. We know that is a lie and those that keep saying it just continue to lose credibility.rnrnWe need to stop seeding our money to people like Chavez and we need to do it now. Drill for our own energy sources NOW. Develop alternatives but drill now for the energy we know we have.rnrnObama = CarterrnrnAGAIN. Here is a little reminder of the CARTER years: rnrnOur Embassy overrun in Iran and our fellow American citizens being held hostage for 444 days (for the young-uns that is how the nightly news magazine "NIGHTLINE" got started) rnrn21% Mortgage Interest Rates...rnrn18% Inflation Rate...rnrnOVER 50% top income tax rate...rnrn29% Capital gains rate... and no mortgage deduction!!!rnrn55 Miles Per Hour NATIONAL SPEED LIMIT...rnrnAND the start of NOT BEING ABLE TO DRILL FOR OUR OWN OIL!!!rnrnOBAMA the "SOCIALIST" in 08 for the 2nd CARTER TERM!!!rnrnThank you Democratic Party for not letting us drill for oil the unemployment RATE is 5.7%.rn$$$$$$$$What will it take for you to help us.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!To help the Sierra Club it ?$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$rnrnThank you Democratic Party for the great job you have done in Northeastern Ohio, 35 years ,mainly Mahoning County, all that open area now is great for the environmentalist, what used to be Steel Plants, pipe plants, industrial area, what a great use of the EPA. Also big spots of were homes used to be. Thank you Again Eco-Liberal Democrats.

  41. This is a must! How are you going to know what is in the bills/legistation unless you /we the people have a chance to read the item.

  53. Speed reading DOES NOT COUNT. It's comprehension that matters. Just remember, if you use this as your ploy, when it hits the fan with the voters, you can't say, "I didn't know". Read the bill for yourself. You and your own staffers should take sections and make notes, then come together at the finish and put it all together. If you're going to write these ridiculously long bills, this is what it will take: REAL EFFORT ON YOUR PART! This is the future you're compromising. OUR futures. You owe us far more than we're getting, and I don't mean in "free money".
  54. This comment has been reported to the site manager. It will be reviewed and removed if inappropriate. Thank you!

  61. I cannot believe that Congress would pass anything without reading it first. The people should have a say before anything is passed. What has happened to COMMON SENSE? Would any member of Congress spend their own money as they do the American People.

  65. This is like talking to a kindergarden child. Would any member of CONGRESS sign a personal note on their bank account for anyone to withdraw funds, without knowing the facts, WITHOUT READING THE DOCUMENT. WHERE IS THE COMMON SENSE. HAS EVERYONE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE. You have been in office too, too long. YOU DRAW YOUR FREE MONEY, PUT YOUSELF IN OUT PLACE. WE HAVE TO WORK TO PAY THE TAXES TO PAY YOU. WITHOUT JOBS THERE WILL BE NO MONEY. THINK PEOPLE. YOU WERE VOTED IN, YOU CAN BE VOTED OUT. I NEVR WORRIED THIS MUCH, UNTIL I BECAME AWARE THAT WE HAVE LAZY PEOPLE IN OFFICE. LAZY AND GREEDY, I AM ASHAMED OF THE PEOPLE BUT NOT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. YOU CAN BE REPLACED AND GOD WILL BLESS OUR COUNTRY AGAIN. WE MUST REPLACE THE SLACK, AND PUT NEW BLOOD IN OFFICE, THINK AND READ THE BILLS, CONSULT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT PUT YOU IN OFFICE. THIS IS JOKE TO THE OTHER COUNTRIES, THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES KNOW BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW IN OFFICE.
