I wonder if Joe has ever thought about who is being taxed to pay for the unnecessary Iraq War and how much that has added to the deficit. Amazing that he talks about "Socialist" programs when I doubt he could not define the word. Been spending too much time listening to Limbaugh. Right on Joyce!

So glad to hear you say you think a commission board is a better approach. I do not trust any politician to deliver on transparency now. And transparency is nothing compared to accountability. The Fed has no accountability to the taxpayers yet has increasing control over our lives. Too much power for a group not accountable.
Keep looking out for us Senator Warner!

No, because you're currently paying more for the broken system than you would for the new system. In fact, even though the U.S. is the only first world nation in the world without universal health care, Americans spend more on health care than anyone else (by far).

Of course, this depends on legislators choosing to fix the old system as opposed to... Read More simply adding something new on top of what's broken. Under such a scenario, yes, it's conceivable that you'd be paying more in taxes, but it's absolutely not necessary. Tell your congresspeople to resist the insurance company lobbyists.

Senator Warner, there's a lot of ink and bandwith being spent on buzzwords like economic stability, stimulus, accountability, transparency, bailout, etc. And I know everyone in Congress is working hard and trying to sell solutions. But where is the involvement of the American people? Why is it Congress can "decide" what is best for Americans in a... Read More vacuum? None of the ink and bandwith being spent includes even a footnote regarding any input the American Citizens have offered a single representative or senator in this regard. Overwhelmingly, the original bailout last October was opposed by Americans but Congress passed it anyway because they felt they had to "do" something. How is this process and this spending different? It greatly disturbs me that even while Americans have elected their representation to Congress, the reprsentation does not reflect the will of the American people.

Dear Senator / Representative,

At a time of serious national challenges, Americans should unite to serve the good of all, born and unborn. The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), the most radical and divisive pro-abortion bill ever introduced in Congress, would create a "fundamental right" to abortion that government could not limit but would have to ... Read Moresupport. FOCA would overturn many existing widely-supported policies, including laws protecting parental involvement and conscience rights and those preventing partial-birth abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion.

Please oppose FOCA or any similar measure, and retain laws against federal funding and promotion of abortion. As your constituent, I would like a response telling me how you would vote on these matters.

Senator Warner,
You has said "Now is time to put aside partisan differences... The current partisan stimulus bill is a transparent payback to the special interests that helped Obama get elected. Now he is putting those special interests ahead of our country's interests. The Senate's so called "bipartisan comprimise" is a farse. I urge you to ... Read Morestand up to this partisan pressure and do the right thing to eliminate the $200M-$300M of excessive spending in the bill that is not directly related to near term stimulus. If you truly remove the partisan interests it is not hard to see what is truly stimulus. We will have time to implement the other programs that make up the Democratic agenda. But now is not the time. The transparently partisan approach being taken is not good for the country and frankly we cannot aford the spending until the economy recovers.
