Thread: U.S. Senate refuses to hire additional agents

Do you know whats surprising about this?

Dian Fienstien and Barbra Boxer voted for this!!!

Go tell those republican senates who voted for this that "You're Fired".

Someone should put out a large phone numbers of those republican senates and give them a peice of their minds.

I am surprised about that on Boxer and Feinstein and they’re my state senators and I called and called and they had told me that they were getting calls beyond calls in regards to this. Something needs to be done and I hope that some real candidates come out and I mean other than Rep or Dem because we need more than one party in the house and senate. It is getting out of control and they aren’t listening to the people. I hope it hurts at the polls on both sides.

I personally have become a Constitutionalist.
