It is time that the congress realizes that our vote counts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The average American should be taken care of. We are better and more important then the banks and large automobile industry.Do they think that we do not want to earn a living? I guess that they do not have anyone close to them that are unemployed, because if they did they would know how difficult it is to get a job. Please help us to survive.

Some like to be frightened, lied to, or just let others do there thinking.

Like horror movies some people are addicted to fear. Hanity, Fox news, Limbaugh make good money by being fear mongers. Any one who buys into this should head the words of Mr Franklin......
