(NEW) This saddens me to think that with all the people out of work in this country that the Republicans would block a bill to bring jobs back to this country. They will NEVER get my vote. The wealthiest people can't identify with being out of work and wondering where the next meal is coming from and how they will deal with their escalating healthcare. The taxation breaks need to stop not only for these companies, but also for those in the top 5% - after all, how much money do you need to spend on gold plated toilets rather than bringing back balance to the economy of the American people. What we do here affects EVERYONE - worldwide.

(NEW) While I firmly believe that we should do our utmost to keep our citizens employed, I do feel that we are part of a global community. If we did not purchase goods made in other countries, poverty would be greatly increased in many areas of the world. This could also result in the inablity of people to afford American made goods and cost us jobs. I feel that great care and consideration must be part of implementing such legislation.

Thank you for attempting to help bring honor and stability to our country by standing up for American Workers. I have friends in Europe who think we have lost our moral compass and lost our way and we will fall as a result. My wife works for Obama Reelection and I have given money and signed numerous petitions to move specific issues forward so I feel we have attempted in a small way to keep things sane and on track. Senator Boxer, I never thought I would feel and say I am sorry I ever served in the military to defend this. Thank you for your keeping me apprised of events. Regards

Please don't spend your time and my money sending out negative information. We are getting more than enough of that from the President. Send us the positive of what you and the Dems have accomplished and are doing. Unfortunate, there seems so little positive right now that you all have to resort to negative. It makes one start looking for another Party.

What we need is to put a import tax on all out of country products comming into the U.S. This alone will put Jobs back in the U.S. As a past Union Organizer I worked hard for the American workers. China is not our friend and a import tax would hart them and we can pay our debt off with in two years and we would be number 1 again.
