However, I am especially concerned that the Speaker of the House is conducting, based entirely on race, a jihad against black members of the congress. We cannot have system where very powerful people (The Speaker) can, based on race, condemn others (Rangel and Waters). The Speaker is using race in her determination of who will stand before the Ethics Committee to face up for their crimes. Of course, there are plenty of white representatives who should be before the Ethics committee too, but the Speaker will not let these cases go forward. Not even with the dead ones like Jack Murtha. Please let me know that we can all enjoy and expect 'equal justice under law'. Thank you Marcia, I am pleased to see that the legislation to review the criminal justice system has passed the House.

This stressor is related to the Veteran’s fear of hostile military or terrorist activity. It means that the Veteran actually experienced, witnessed or confronted an event or circumstance related to “..actual or threatened death or serious injury.. to the Veteran or others.” Furthermore, this stressor has to be “..consistent with the places, types and circumstances of the Veteran’s service.” These comments are extracted from the VA’s final rule, published in the July13th Federal Register. They comprise 10 pages of text. This change is a significant improvement for Vet’s who suffer certain PTSD stressors. These Vets should still seek the services of a good Veterans Service Counselor, as the rules are still complex.

I have a feeling the Democrats in Congress will think they won -- until they see what happens in November. But not to worry Rep.Fudge, the Republicans in the Ohio house gave you a 100% safe district.

I don't receive health care from my employer and my husband changed jobs. One third of our gross income last year went to health insurance. I don't go to the doctor because the cost only grows and my kids have to come first. We need this Health Care Reform bill to pass and you are the one that can help. Please vote for this bill!

It is, at least, a step in the right direction. I would hope that in future we will eliminate private health insurance altogether in favor of, fully public, yes socialized, system. I support HR 676: "Medicare for all" and hope that you will continue to work for this. My daughter and her family, including a 3 month-old baby, were just denied coverage by Kaiser for the most rediculous reasons. The baby was denied for being overweight and having been in the hospital! Dear Marcia,
