Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Mrs. chris vankoughnet

WHY DID YOU VOTE AGAINEST 14,000 NEEDED JOBS TO HELP STRENGTHEN OUR COUNTRY? OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN DIS-REPAIR & MUCH NEEDED OF NEW EQUIPTMENT & TEACHERS. WITHOUT THEM OUR NEXT GENERATION WILL BE IN WORSE SHAPE THAN THIS GENERATION. ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT STUDENTS CAN'T ADD, SUBTRACT OR EVEN COUNT MONEY BACK AT A STORE WITHOUT USING A CALCULATOR OR LOOKING ON A CASH REGISTER. RECENTLY I BOUGHT SOMETHING THAT COST .98 CENTS & GAVE HER $1.03. SHE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO. JUST A NICKLE BACK IN CHANGE. SHE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE LIKE THAT. I HAVE BEEN IN OTHER STORES WHERE THE YOUNGER GENERATION WAS & IS IN THE SAME SHAPE AS THE YOUNG WOMAN THAT OWED ME A NICKLEL. OUR COUNTRY IS IN NEED OF ALOT OF SUPPORT TO STRENGTHEN OUR ECONOMY & "YOUR (NO) VOTE WON'T MAKE OUR COUNTRY STRONGER-HOWEVER IT WILL HELP WEAKEN IT EVEN MORE THAN IT IS NOW.

Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. The only way to solve the deficit crisis is to raise revenues. There are two ways to do that: remove the drastic tax reductions that were the primary cause of the crisis (and appear to have been intended to cause the present problems) and create jobs. Social Security and Medicare are self-funded and the money owed by the government to the system is the equivalent of Treasury notes due, not an "entitlement". Putting people to work has a cascade effect that results in additional jobs being created and revenues increased both through income taxes and in reduction of support for those without work. In particular, infrastructure projects are long overdue. Stop playing politics with our future. The efforts of the Republican party over the past three years to intentionally destroy the American Dream just to spite the President is bringing ruin to our country. It obviously works with some people but it is not clear the country will be able to recover if this keeps up. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Dr. Edwin Tripp

Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. I have been exceedingly disappointed in the Republican Party response to working people. I used to vote for politicians based on who they were but so many Republicans are bowing to the extreme right tea party who don't care who dies, as long as the wealthy one percent don't pay more taxes or have to accept people of different backgrounds, such as working people as being equal to the others. This is sad and I am sorry, I can no longer accept this or vote for any Republican. I know people that want to work but the jobs are not there. Please help rebuild a middle class of working people because that is what founded this country and fought our revolutionary war, not the one percent. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. The way out of this economic slump is to create jobs. The GOP tax cut strategy has done nothing to create jobs and according to many economist, has led to our current problems. The Obama plan, while not without its faults, would create thousands of jobs. This is the type of "Trickle down" that has worked in the past and will work if given a chance. Additionally rather than just make the wealthy more money to spend outside the USA the workers hired to make these improvements to our infrastructure will be spending the money here in Ohio and the rest of the USA. Thank you for your consideration. William H. Dreger, Ed.D., LPCC Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Dr. Wiliam Dreger

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. I'm sure you well know how seriously Ohio has been affected by unemployment. Now is not the time to draw this line in the sand and vote against the American Jobs Act. If something isn't done, we may come to a point of no return and forever ruin our economy and tarnish the image of the United States of America. I can't even imagine that you would wish this on us. All America, as well as the rest of the world, is watching what you and your fellow politicians are doing to our citizens and our country. It's not a pretty picture, is it?

I understand the need to reduce the deficit and get control of government spending. I also feel that the burden should not be placed on the average working middle class that is struggling to make ends meet. Nor should those in poverty suffer more than they already are. Congress as a whole needs to raise taxes on the super rich since they are not creating new good paying jobs. You need to lead the way by reducing your pay, ending your government paid retirement, healthcare and other perks not available to the private sector. It is time that all of you start living like the rest of us struggling Americans and not like the elite you all think you are. I have worked over 38 years in the printing and paper business and at 61 years of age I have no retirement (just my badly shrunk 401K), no healthcare if I retire at 62 till I can sign up for Medicare at 65. That assumes that you and those in the tea party don't eliminate it or raise the age to qualify. I am tired, in debt and worried I will not be able live a comfortable retirement thanks to you Republicans and your so called Tea Party. I dare you to lead the way to create a jobs bill and reduce Congressional benefits. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working.

How is it that the only plan that you have is to wait for the wealthy to create jobs, Well we out here in the real world are still waiting...but i guess it is easy for you to turn your back on the middle class, the poor and the unemployed. Your job is safe, your retirement is safe not so for so many other Americans. Not thus far in my life time have I seen our government so broken. As here in Ohio it seem the voice of the majority goes unheard. It also seems that our government now works for the rich, I guess that is who fund the political campaigns so that is the only group that matters.

Instead you are looking out for the richest few, who have no need of protection. With all of the focus on Issue 2 / SB 5 in Ohio and the Ohio Republican cry for "privledged" Union members to "pay their fair share", you should be siding with all of us against the privledged few in the top income brackets and making them pay "their fair share". By defeating the Jobs bill you have shown a deep-seated hypocrosy.

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator, polls indicate that a strong majority of Americans support the American Jobs Act. By voting against it, you are voting against the very interests of the people who sent you to Washington to work for US, not special interests, not the Republican Party, but US. Please respect the will of the people and vote FOR the American Jobs Act. Do the right thing and quit worrying about giving the President a win. This isn't about him, it's about US, the People. We need this bill and we need it NOW. Senator, PASS THIS BILL! Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Miss Sally Burnell

I have been unemployed for a year next month. I have applied over 100 jobs. The jobs that want to employ me only want to pay me $10 an hour for the job the corporate job I have been doing over 15 years. I don't expect to make the $25 an hour that I used to but I do need to pay my mortgage, car payment, medical insurance etc. I was laid off due to reconstruction not my job performance. The corporations are generating revenue and was helped to get out of financial trouble by my tax money. Until you have been out of work and depended on the little unemployment money and depleting the little savings, you will never understand the daily worry on how you are going to survive when the money is cut off. I am not lazy I just want to be treated with respect. I have been working since I was 17 years old and now I am 47 woman of color trying to continue the American dream. The dream of a healthy and loving family in my modest home trying to be a contributor to my country. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working.

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. You're a millionaire. This disqualifies you from understanding the need to have a job and provide for your family. This is unAmerican and you should be ashamed. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

Dear Senator, I live in the 8th district of Ohio. I wanted the jobs bill to pass. I'm 69 years and have only missed voting twice; once I was in the hospital and the other I was out of state due to my grandfather passing away in another state,unexpectingly.

Anyone that would sacrifice the good of the United States just to try to ensure thye defeat of President Obama in 2012 should be branded a traitor. Look at the definition: At times, the term "traitor" has been levelled as a political epithet, regardless of any verifiable treasonable action. In a civil war or insurrection, the winners may deem the losers to be traitors. Likewise the term "traitor" is used in heated political discussion typically as a slur against political dissidents, or against officials in power who are perceived as failing to act in the best interest of their constituents. In certain cases, as with the German Dolchstoßlegende, the accusation of treason towards a large group of people can be a unifying political message. You and your fellow Republicans especially in the Senate are FAILING TO ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF YIOUR CONSTITUENTS BY FAILING TO EVEN ALLOW DISCUSSION ON OBAMA'S JOBS BILL.

At the age of 50 I was fired from my second career in publishing because I physically couldn't perform working 10 hour days and a steady four months with only one day off. My body failed me & I had a heart attack. My 30 year old boss didn't like me or my age or my health issues. But I returned to work after 30 days and surgery, and lasted 3 months when she fired me (after 5 years employment--she had been there only one year). Since then (ten years ago) I have not found any employment, have no vehicle anymore for transportation, and my health has gotten worse due to the stress of finances, so I am now disabled due to my health. I am 60 & would rather be working & contributing, but no one wants an old man when they are 20-something. And if you think doing this to us Baby Boomers is amusing & the right way to treat fellow Americans just because we are old & not wealthy, then you have another thing coming. You & all the rest of the "haves" treat the rest of us like dirt and it is time you realized that we are honest, hard-working & capable people who deserve better treatment, jobs & good, reliable health care. Next time you look in the mirror, see if you see the "rich man's smirk" or a compassionate being who is ready to work for his fellow Americans.

Once again it is all politics in Congress. Every Congressman and Representative needs to begin considering what is good for our Country and not themselves or the special interest groups. It is sad that those who continually ridiculeand vote against the President's plans to stimulate our economy are the same people who are being paid by our hard earned tax dollars. Our Country's infastructure is falling apart, unemployment is high and yet you vote against what would be at least a partial solution to both problems. Let's see - where could we be saving? Let's start with Congress giving up 50% of their income, their government health insurance, their long-term guaranteed retirement payments. These are the same things the average American has already lost or is endanger of losing. The same things the Republicans don't want the average American to have and fight against regularly, claiming too much Governement, are the same benefits that they themselves derive from their "Government jobs."

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

I really cannot comprehend how Politicians can turn there backs on the American people that put them in. You voted against jobs for Americans that cannot find work. Instead you sided with the rich as usual. This is the problem in this country...we do not trust any of you any longer. Until this Govt. does away with the Federal Reserve, big banks that are stealing all the money from us, Wall St. crooks, the banks that we bailed out & slapped the American people with double, triple interest it will never change. I would like to ask you one question along with your colleagues in Congress...How would you & the rest of them feel to go to bed hungry, let alone see your child or children going hungry because NO jobs! Clinton made a bit mistake with NAFTA...all the jobs went to China, Mexico, etc & Americans buy junk from them while the big shot companies that moved there make billion's! People today are frustrated & we are the one's that elect & we are the one's that decide who loses seat's. Plus we are the one's who elect in the White House. But than again it is rigged! Million's of American's have switched to listen to Alex Jones info.com & he has been saying for over 16 yrs. what is happening in this country. I will vote for Ron Paul! No one else. If he is not nominated myself & so many listener's will not vote! Alex Jones Rocks! People will vote for Ron Paul but the media that sucks the Govt. Ass like no tomorrow & the way the election is rigged it will never happen. Rick Perry is a joke, Romney is for illegals, Cain is a idiot, 9 9 9...really? 9% on sales tax? That's right he worked for the Federal Reserves, another crook! God help the American people that vote another idiot in! Have a good day! Oh another thing...how can any of you live with yourselves?

If the Senate, and the Congress for that matter, are to become a force in American life, you need to get your act together. As a young boy, I saw my oldest brother become a member of the WPA program to rebuild the infrastructure of the United States, and I benefited from his work every time I went into a forest, or park, or other public space. He went on to spend a career in the Air Force as a control tower operator. Perhaps you guys, ad women, need to think through the conditions now very similar to 1932.

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

No cost of living increase for two years, yet everything keeps going up in price. It is my opinion that every politician should have to pay into social security, that when your term is up, you no should not continue to receive your pay, medical coverage. You should be like the rest of us, and have to pay for your own. Maybe if you earned minimum wage, you would know how a lot of our citizens are feeling right now. I am not one of these citizens, but I feel for them. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Mrs. Audrey Swogger

Dear Sen. Portman, If you look at the economies of countries that are trying to solve their economic problems by shrinking their budgets, they are doing very poorly. Economic policies that work for an individual family do not work for large countries to deal with unemployment. Um, guess what, if you lay off a bunch of public workers, there is higher unemployment and there is a ripple effect that sends our economy in the wrong direction. Our state needs you to think independently of pressures from the Republican party. We need you to vote for this jobs program and help our economy recover. Where is that "moderate" that you described when you ran for office. Where is leadership??? We need help from the government to avoid a double dip recession, and it should be paid for by increasing taxes on millionaires like myself. Sincerely, Linda Butler 817 Hanover Rd.

Our economy is in such a mess that it's a disgrace to be an American. The Republicans have destroyed the American dream with bad policies and ideas that just didn't work. The incompetent Bush and all the Republican supporters put him back into office, two times under bogus means. Now here we are suffering as a country because of the Republican arrogance and incompetence. It's going to take extraordinary means to clean up the all the problems created by the Republican, corporate greed. Because of this Americans will have to get over their desire for immediate gratification. What it will take to get America back on it's feet will have to start with the working class. Jobs have to be created firstly to get the economy moving by the mass majority. There is time for ongoing reform of government, but it must be people first, then money (through work) for overall stimulation to occur.

I've frequently written to my congressman, but it is clear he does not care about what I think or what I prefer from my government. I hope that is not the case with my senator, though your recent vote against the American Jobs Act indicates that it might be. It might indicate also, though I hope it does not, that the senator does not really intend to carry out the promises of 2010 to focus upon jobs. What happened to that campaign slogan? Has it fallen to darker purposes and privileged governance? I pray not. Please work to get the Jobs Act enacted and help to get some people back to work.

It is quite apparent from your vote against the Jobs Bill that you (Mr. millionaire) don't give a damn about the average Ohioan. You have just proven to me and millions of other Ohioans that you put Party first and the Middle-class and Poor last. A lot of Ohio voters are real sorry they voted for you, Kriminal Kasich, Renacci, Boehner and the rest of the Plutocrat running dogs in the POG---Party of Greed. SHAME ON YOU! But in reality, YOU don't care! Your pockets are full and you don't need to worry about anything like a mortgage or medical care. But Ohio voters may be fooled once, but they won't be fooled twice. You and the rest of the (R) rats will get voted out ASAP.
