  Obamacare

  Please do whatever you can to get Obamacare repealed. Keeping in place will serve only to increase healthcare costs for everyone (in spite of Democrat protestations to the contrary), lessen the quality of healthcare, and reduce the number of physicians.

As a healthcare professional of many years, I know there are problems with our current system; however, Obamacare isn't the answer. Phil Gingrey and Tom Price have a better and more affordable solution.

  Re-start Nuclear Power

  Nuclear power could be the permanent solution to our energy needs and dependence on foreign oil, yet the US hasn't built a new nuclear plant in over 30 years. If the regulatory process was streamlined and simplified, we could reduce the cost of building plants by billions.

  Smaller Government

  Support smaller government, reduce the insane spending, lower taxes to spur business investment and hiring to get economy back on track and get people off the sidelines, get the government out of things they should not be involved in (see Constitution for limits of Federal Power). That's about it...

  Congressional Rules and Reforms

  Here are some Congressional rules and reforms I think need to be addressed: 1. Make attendance in Congress mandatory. Whenever I see the sessions televised, they are practically empty. 2. Pass a law that any legislation MUST BE READ to the assembled, mandatory Congressmen. If it's not read, it CAN'T BE VOTED ON. 3. Pass a law PROHIBITING anything that is directly UNRELATED to the legislation from being included in a Bill. ...more »

  2. Pass a law that any legislation MUST BE READ to the assembled, mandatory Congressmen. If it's not read, it CAN'T BE VOTED ON.

  3. Pass a law PROHIBITING anything that is directly UNRELATED to the legislation from being included in a Bill. (Like "education loans" were included in the "healthcare fix bill" NO MORE SEEDY, BACKDOOR SHENANIGANS.

  4. Pass a law that PROHIBITS Congressional "earmarks" & "pork barrel" from being added to a Bill. NO MORE BUYING VOTES!

  5. TERM LIMITS. NO MORE CAREER POLITICIANS. WE NEED TO END CORRUPTION.

  6. Repeal the 17th Amendment: Return Senators to being elected by the State Legislators, not the popular vote.

  7. MAKE ENGLISH THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE. Stop spending money on bi-lingual documents and signs. Immigrants need to assimilate into our American Society. It is insulting that we're encouraging them to not learn the language.

  Continue Soc. Sec. payments at current levels

  Please do not let the far left reduce our Soc. Sec. benefits further. I need the income and am 73 years old and unable to work. For 40 years I paid into S. S. and planned on it for a lot of my retirement.

  National Debt

  The national debt and the continued deficient spending is a major concern for many citizens. Perhaps this should be a category. It links closely with taxes, immigration, health care, and most of the other categories. If we solve for the deficient spending, it should dictate what can or cannot be accomplished in the other areas. What needs to be funded in the near term vs. what can be postponed?

  FairTax

  #1 Pass the FairTax! Eliminate the IRS, all income taxes including those on corporations, embedded taxes in food and other products.

  #2 Seal the border. Put heavy fines on business owners and managers who hire illegal aliens, and through the FairTax collect taxes on those who have been avoiding taxes.

  Enforce existing Immigration laws

  Enforce existing laws regarding hiring illegal aliens, therefore, illegals will deport themselves. Also, secure the border. No amnesty of any kind.

  Enforce the laws. What a novel idea!

  Pursue 10 Amendment

  I firmly believe that our Federal government is directly responsible for many of the social ills that we are experiencing today.

  I firmly believe that our Federal government is directly responsible for many of the social ills that we are experiencing today. The dictation of federal law on our state has mandated a reduction of social values that has resulted in the break down of the family structure to where legitimacy rates and divorce rates have increasingly soared for the last forty years. Our federal government has forced the minority view of liberalism upon Georgians and Americans thought law. The Commerce Clause has been tremendously abused to where it can be, and is used to affect nearly every facet of our lives. I would appreciate a concerted effort to enforce "states rights" as afforded by the Tenth Amendment that provides " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." I believe we must decrease the size and scope of the federal government.

  Children of the Illegal Immigrants

  School principals should be allowed to ask students if they are citizens of America. Children of illegal immigrants are costing us because we must educate and feed them free at school. They require special attention because most of them do not speak English, and this takes more money away from the education dollar we taxpayers pay to educate OUR children.

  General Comment

  Congressional terms should be limited same as the President and members should receive only the same benefits as their constituents. Being a member of Congress should not be a life time career. Members are there only to serve the people they represent.

  Tax cuts for small business

  This is such a great idea! It's so common for people to think that their individual voices cannot be heard by our representatives, so congratulations on taking a step to change that. I think Senator Isakson should continue his efforts to help small businesses succeed through extending tax cuts and incentives.

  It's All About Supply & Demand

  If the following laws were put in place and enforced, the illegals would leave America on their own, because there would be no jobs for illegal, no places to rent, no schools, no free social services and no citizenship for children born to illegals (1) Landlords should be prosecuted for renting to illegals (2) Employers be heavily fined with jail time for employing illegals (3) Social services should be denied to ...more »

  If the following laws were put in place and enforced, the illegals would leave America on their own, because there would be no jobs for illegal, no places to rent, no schools, no free social services and no citizenship for children born to illegals

  (1) Landlords should be prosecuted for renting to illegals

  (2) Employers be heavily fined with jail time for employing illegals

  (3) Social services should be denied to illegals

  (4) Illegals cannot attend US public schools

  (5) All children must pass "english speaking" exam for entrance into US public schools

  (6) Children born to illiegal immigrant parents will not be granted US citizenship

  This all may sound extreme, but it's a crime that US citizen taxpayers are required to pay taxes to provide school and social services for illegal immigrants. Illegals have more rights than US citizens.

  Hello Washington DC -- Are you listening?

  We need an Amendment to HB 1322 and a Federal Law that would prevent anyone from using crime scene pictures of children. HB 1322 is only good for 5 years then pictures can be released. Pictures of children should never be released to Publishing Companies or Writers. They do it only for exploitation and Profit! Simon and Schuster proofed it and Pimped our sister who was a child at the time. Teresa Caroline Sterling was a Minor and was raped, murdered and sex organ mutilated! Her attacker is free and does not have to register as a sex offender. Our family has been put in danger by all the writings of Ann Rule and the publishing company of people who want more to the story or wants to be famous and have Ann Rule write a story about them. Our family will take action of anymore stalkers looking for a story! The picture of Teresa Sterling showing her remains... Now do you think Ann Rule and The Publishing Company had the right to publish this picture and describe how she was raped and murdered and the Child Pornography Law does not apply to them because they lied about her age? These pictures and pictures of all children are nothing more than a fantasy and a feeding ground for Child Molester to get more ideas on how to act out their next crime against children. Teresa Caroline Sterling ACT! Please, now is the time to say NO and send a message to Child molesters, publishing companies and writers! Families and children have rights. The Untied States is the only Country that has no Law. Other Countries do not even allow a school picture of the child to be used. Simon and Schuster and other companies need to answer to these pictures. It is out of taste but great for their wallet! Please help me in my fight and start a change in the Open Records Act. Crime Scene pictures of Children should only be used for Law Enforcement use.

  Honorable J. Isakson, Regarding the Islamic mosque issue in New York City .. I am adamantly opposed to this and feel any American should be horrorified to the notion of a symbol of the Islamic people be so close to the site of the destroyed 'World Trade Ctr.' that they destroyed and in doing so killed many Americans. I beg you to view a video clip that has moved me greatly .. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/06/pat-condell-on-ground-zero-mosque-is-it-possible-to-be-astonished-but-not-surprized.html ...more »

Please use whatever power you possess to see that this mosque never happens!!!

  Recognition Of Soldiers Serving Multiple Tours

  From your position as a member of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs it would be appropriate for you to initiate visible recognition on uniforms and press releases, etc. of servicepeople who have served in harm's way (war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan) for more than one tour.

  From your position as a member of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs it would be appropriate for you to initiate visible recognition on uniforms and press releases, etc. of servicepeople who have served in harm's way (war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan) for more than one tour. [Having so served automatically makes them a veteran, of course.]

  A sew-on insignia that could be worn on both uniforms and as a civilian, that includes a numeral that signifies how many tours served, would be appropriate.

  This insignia would not be a medal, of course... But putting yourself in harm's way multiple times certainly defines courage in the service of our country's dedication to the export of Freedom, which is historically what we are all about.

  Also, In armed forces press releases where a multiple-tour veteran is involved, that insignia should appear either before or after that courageous person's name.

  Our own commanders should not miss any opportunity to underscore how special an in-harms-way-multi-tour veteran is. It has been too long overlooked.

  Also, your constituency should be kept informed that you serve on the Committee on Veterans' Affairs. It is no small task that you have added to your already jam-packed schedule in the service of our State's best interests.

  The Republican Party seems paralyzed on this issue and seems to want to pander to the "hispanic vote", big business or whatever but they are missing an opportunity to be proactive on this issue and announce a position that most Americans would support. All we hear now is that "we need to secure the border"...and that the illegal aliens that are here already must "go to the back of the line". What does that mean? That suggests amnesty to most of us or at a minimum...allowing the lawbreakers to remain and consume social benefits here in our country..THE SOLUTION IS...besides securing our border (which is a national security issue), Republican leaders should not say "go to the back of the line" but rather say that we must do an assessment of the impact on those here illegally before we can determine their status. Any good business person or decision maker must do an assessment before they declare a plan. The proper stance is that we must measure the impact and then determine what is "best for the American people". That may include deportation, guest worker allowance or whatever. If there are 40 million illegal aliens instead of 8 million (that we continue to hear), we would quickly become a third world nation by putting these folks "in the back of the line". We must know...who is contributing to America and who is costing billions to American taxpayers in terms of schooling, healthcare and other social benefits. The focus of leadership should always be on "what is best for the American people"....not what is best for Luis Gutierrez and La Raza.
