Mr,. Paulson, why have you abandonded so many of the principles that once made the GOP great and sided with those who seek to destroy the middle class? What principles you ask? How about protection of minorities and establishing a sound educational system via land grant colleges (Abraham Lincoln). How about protecting people from the tyranny of corporations and proposing universal health care for all citizens (Teddy Rooseveldt. How about investing in mationwide infrastructure projects to benefit all Americans like the Interstate System (Dwight Eisenhauer.) Who about beaaking filabusters to compromise in a bi-partisan manner to insure civial rights and the right of monottrities to vote (Evert Dirksen). THESE men had the true spirit of Republicanism, NOT the Tea Party reactionaries that you seem so bent on supporting!

Help everyone in your district. Equality for everyone, not just for the wealthy. You have done nothing to grow the economy or create jobs. I have seen your talking points and wht you say is not even close to the truth.Putting senior citizens on voucher systems and following Ryans budget hurts everyone equally except the wealthy.

Do not voucherize Medicare or privatize Social Security. It's our money, not Wall Street's.

The idea of putting the future of Social Security in the hands of Wall Street is inconceivable, but my husband and I are very interested in how you will justify this. The people of Wall Street are extremely well compensated instruments, who have been complicit in the devastation of our middle class. Wall Streeters who have done illegal and unethical maneuvers to make money for themselves, and who continue to be free to do so without prosecution, are certainly not the ones to deal with the nations’ life blood monies.

Why dont you get some courage like TR, and speak in front of any group of mixed political persuasion, and allow any of them to talk to you, ask questions, and make comments about anything. And behaving and voting like Michele Bachmann is no way to go through life son.

Erik you talked like Ramstad and voted like Bachmann. You are no friend to the 99% but rather just a bootlicker to the 1%
