| What I am trying to figure out is when things in this | | | | The government already provides welfare, food |
| country starting going downhill. As a citizen and voter, | | | | stamps, housing and college grants for people that |
| in this country, I am feeling more and more as if my | | | | need help, There is money for medical care for |
| own government and representatives are against me | | | | children and seniors, what else does the government |
| and not for me. The republican party, that I am a | | | | need to supply. My concern is that there are leaders |
| member of, does not even seem to be able to stand | | | | that would like to see us become a socialist society |
| up for what it believes and fight for the things that | | | | and live a life where everyone is equal that is not |
| they are supposed to stand for. I feel as if no one in | | | | possible. It has been tried and failed and those who |
| Washington cares about anyone but themselves, | | | | work hard will support those who choose not to |
| even the republicans, who I counted on to be the | | | | work, this is wrong and I do not want to see my |

| America, not what is right for them. I cannot help but | | | | Even the Bible says that the poor will always be with |
| think that our founding fathers would be appalled at | | | | us. There are politicians that are putting false ideas |
| what has become of this country that they fought | | | | into the heads of poorer people, in order to promote |
| so hard to defend and set up as a government for | | | | themselves and become more powerful. This is |
| the people and by the people. Unfortunately, the | | | | wrong and no one in Washington seems to care. |
| threat of outside forces hurting this country is not | | | | Stand up and fight for what is right and what our |
| near as great as the threat that we are to ourselves. | | | | founding fathers wanted for this country. |
| Also, I believe that our leaders are enabling us in our | | | | My last issue concerns illegal immigration. If anyone |
| own destruction. First, we have let political | | | | that represents me votes for the current immigration |
| correctness go to far we are not fighting those who | | | | bill they will not receive my vote it the next election, |
| promote class warfare and we are more concerned | | | | even if it means voting for a democrat (or a |
| about people who come here illegally than we are | | | | defeatacrat as I have heard them called). The |
| about the citizens and legal residents of this country. | | | | citizens and legal residents of this country are the |
| I am ashamed of my government and its leaders | | | | ones you should be protecting and listening to. I am a |
| right now in so many ways that as of now I will not | | | | voter and I do not want to see anyone who gives |
| vote for anyone who currently holds a seat in | | | | amnesty to illegal's back in office. Do not tell me it is |
| Congress that represents me. | | | | not amnesty, because it is and you cannot convince |
| I know that you may think that I am over the top | | | | me other wise. Illegals do not deserve the special |
| but I do not think that I am. When it comes to | | | | treatment they are getting. They break our laws and |
| political correctness we are going too far. It is better | | | | we turn the other cheek, I do not understand why |
| to be in the minority than in the majority. I believe | | | | my government cares more about them then they |
| that everyone should be treated with respect and | | | | do about the citizens and the legal residents who |
| that we should all be allowed to believe what we | | | | have followed our laws and spent time and money in |
| want and that no one should be left out because of | | | | doing so. If this current bill passes legal residents |
| race or religion. I would never want to take away our | | | | deserve an apology and reimbursement for all the |
| rights to be who we want to be, but why do we | | | | time and money they spent obeying our laws. It is |
| have to go to the extreme in the other direction? | | | | those that follow the law that should be in this |
| Why should we give in to the demands of the | | | | country not those who break our laws. We would |
| minority and shun the majority. It is getting harder to | | | | not be allowed such liberties in other countries but |
| be a Christian is this country because we are catering | | | | for some reason we allow it in this country. We will |
| to the Muslims and giving them whatever they | | | | pay a price for this. If you ask the American people |
| demand. Why is it that people are so sensitive about | | | | what they want they would tell you that it is more |
| who they are that they will take someone to court | | | | important to secure the borders than seek |
| over a pair of pants? The list could go on and on. I | | | | immigration reform. We can deal with reform later, |
| do not want to live in a country like this; I do not | | | | just stop anymore illegal's from coming over so that |
| want my kids to grow up in a country that allows | | | | the illegal population does not get any larger. I think |
| people to have laws changed and made whenever | | | | we have laws that would work, if we only enforce |
| one small group feels like they need to protect | | | | them. We need to give Homeland Security the |
| everyone else. It is not right. We are losing our rights | | | | resources that they need to deport and find these |
| little by little and the people in Washington are letting | | | | people. Also, we should not allow any city to provide |
| it happen, because it seems to give them more | | | | sanctuary to illegals; we have every right to ask |
| power. Power is the goal of politicians not the best | | | | what there status in this country is. |
| interest of the people they represent. | | | | We have become nation that has leaders that are |
| There is also the idea that the rich are bad. I am a | | | | wimps for not standing up to liberal ideas that will |
| single mom going to school and working two | | | | destroy us and as republicans you know this; you |
| part-time jobs and I do not want to see the | | | | just choose not to fight it. I love President Bush and |
| government take money from the rich and give to | | | | have respect for him and support him in this war, but |
| the poor. I want to earn my own way and have the | | | | he is wrong about immigration and this bill needs to |
| satisfaction that I earned something or if I inherit | | | | be stopped. Please stand up for the citizens of this |
| something be able to say that I was able to create | | | | country if you do not this country will destroy itself |
| even more wealth for my family with what I was | | | | and our children and grandchildren will not get to |
| given. It is not the government's role to play Robin | | | | enjoy the freedoms that we were fortunate to |
| Hood. We are each responsible for ourselves and our | | | | grow up with. Those who have fought so hard for |
| families and we should not be told that because you | | | | this country will have died in vain if we do not begin |
