This is my first diary so please bear with me...
I am really fed up. Earlier I was reading about the 19 Senators that voted against the extension of Unemployment benefits. As a 17 year resident of Texas this man and his justifications for denying me and my family assistance when we need it most is inexcusable.
This man has lived off the backs of myself and taxpayers like me for 8 years in the Senate and and since 1984 in local/state offices.
I have worked nearly every day of my life since 1976 and some politician thinks he is justified to deny me benefits I have worked hard for? It is outrageous! I will be actively working for his defeat in the next election.
Senator Cornyn,
Your decision to NOT vote for the federal unemployment extension has disgusted and appalled me. Your behavior shows you to be morally bankrupt and ethically challenged. I hope you never are placed in the position you have attempted to place me and the 50,000+ others whose benefits either had run out or were about to.
I have been unemployed since last October. I am 50 years old and normally self-sufficent. I send out in excess of 100 resumes per month. Had your co-workers voted as you did I would now be homeless with my 72 year old mother whose mortgage I pay out of my unemployment insurance. The same unemployment insurance I EARNED by working.
You claim to be a religious man. This is how you show compassion towards your fellow man? If you are so concerned about the budget why didn't you vote against the medicare expansion? Or the unaccounted for wars?
You Sir, are a perfect example of why people hate government.
