sorry can’t be there – school open house – stop the spending seriously, don’t just cut increases and call it a reduction…it ain’t.
I’m almost 65 probably won’t retire until 70, God willing – I am willing to reduce “entitlement” $ and / or increase age requirement – if everyone else does.
Why is Social Security FICA capped at around $106,000 – that’s where it SHOULD START!and then go on to infinity.
It appears that Dems want to tax the wealth that people already have, in addition to the income they earn in a given year. (“That’s a nice 2nd house you have…can we give it to someone else?”)
Finally, immigration reform – the states should be able to incarcerate, punish, deport anyone who is here illegally, man, woman or child, support of a family or not. Irish-American kid from NY attacks a cop and goes to jail…Ecuadorian national? nada. The Dems are trying to buy votes this way…stop them, don’t go along with them.
Repeal(Dodd/Frank) act at once.
Single biggest obstacle that is killing housing in this country!
You let us down on the debt ceiling thing. Our patience is wearing thin.
When are we going to cut spending, have a budget surplus, and pay off the national debt?
Nothing will improve the economy more than jobs!
There are over 40,000 people unemployed in our own district. You are one of the most powerful people in Congress. Can’t you do something about this other than the posturing job fairs held recently (over 500 people, fewer than 20 jobs)?
Jobs stimulus packages will be up for voting in September. Please work for us so that we can work.
I have been invited and I got a RSVP fropm Cindy, who I spoke with today. Wednesday 8/31

Repeal the Dodd Frank bill and stop the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by the government. The government must get out of the mortgage business.
Democrats show their political propaganda on prime-time TV claiming that there are no jobs because Republicans are protecting the rich. Republicans need advertisements to correct this fabrication.
STOP the next stimulus. Obama himself said such spending is unpatriotic:”The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” – Barack Obama, July 3, 2008 [We know he spent $5 trillion in 2 1/2 years.]
Restore religious liberty for military chaplains that has been taken away. The First Amendment is freedom OF religion.
Immediately stop the processing of $1 presidential coins that are unwanted and costing the country millions: repeal the 2005 amendment that started the costly project.
Virginia should not accept money from Washington D. C. that would tie us to Obama Care.
The mounds of paper work government requires for Medicare and must be decreased. Millions of dollars are wasted in errors because the medical community is inundated with government forms.
Advances need to be made so small businesses can more readily procure loans. Businesses want to hire, but the credit lines are too difficult for too many businesses to qualify.
Compromise by taking away the loopholes in the tax code, recommend no tax or 5% tax for corporations who will return jobs to America that they’ve taken overseas. Propose a revised tax system: flat tax or sales tax.
What a mess…why are you marching with the RNC? Spending is a major issue and I don’t recall you having a stong stance to stop the madness.
It’s time for the RNC to jump on board with the conservative (Tea Party movement). With the two groups uniting, we could be the majority.
The Republican Party will sit by and watch the polls go down and wonder why?
I feel that most politicians (regardless of party) begin walking the crooked walk shortly after arriving in DC.
It may be wise to kick all out and start over with businessmen/women. Full time politicians just don’t seem to get the message nor fight for what their voters ask for.
Please help our college graduates find jobs. I know Virginia is working with community colleges and community businesses to match degree programs with job skills. This would really help our economy and reduce our deficit!
When will the Republican leadership make a serious effort to reduce the federal debt? When will we stop these unconstitutional, undeclared wars and bring our troops home? When will we stop our interventionist foreign policy and stop wasting American tax dollars in providing foreign aid to tyrants and despotic governments throughout the world? When will the Republican leadership make a serious effort to reduce the size and influence of the federal government with its pernicious effect on the productive efforts of American citizens? When will the Republican leadership stop supporting the bailout of the incompetent managements of failed companies at the taxpayers’ expense?
Honorable Mr Cantor must disclose entirely and transparently the nature of the apparent quid pro quo involving money donated to Mr Cantor from Wall Street – Mellon Bank – and Mr Cantor’s wife’s influential role in directing Virginia funds to Mellon Bank. This apparent quid pro quo involves money of the Virginia Retirement System, which – in cases known to me – has denied long term care coverage to two frail elderly veterans of WW2. TEA Party demands disclosure and transparency, particularly regarding public money. TEA Party must demand, therefore, full disclosure and transparency in this matter, and all matters of contributions to Mr Cantor. He must be 100% TRANSPARENT ABOUT THIS SCANDAL AND ALL HIS CONTRIBUTIONS.
Honorable Mr Cantor must explain his positions and votes that abridge liberty. Protecting liberty is said to be the primary mission of TEA Party. Mr Cantor has voted to support a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit marriage to competent consenting adults. This is use of ‘big brother government’ to oppress liberty. He must explain, and STOP USING BIG BROTHER GOVERNMENT TO OPPRESS LIBERTY.
Honorable Mr Cantor must explain his positions and votes that threaten the health of Americans, and the diminish the place of America as the pre-eminent ‘powerhouse’ of scientific and health-related research in the world. America is an EXCEPTIONAL society, and exceptional in part because of its hegemony in scientific and health-related research. TEA Party knows that America is an exceptional society! Mr Cantor has voted to suppress genetic research. This diminishes America’s EXCEPTIONALISM! He must explain, and STOP THREATENING AMERICA’S EXCEPTIONALISM.
We are gratful for Congressman Cantor, but he needs to disclose the money issue. We need him to continue to fight Obama. We need to give him our support in this as he has been threatened by Obama. He needs to be against Gay marriage and you do too. You can use “Big Brother” all you want …this is not what it is about.
RTP says “Cantor Advisory Council Meeting. (This is what he calls a Town Hall)”
That statement is not true. A town Hall is open to the public. Cantor’ Advisory Meetings are events that only those who have signed up to be on his advisory council are allowed to attend.
Granted anyone can sign up for the Advisory Counsel online, but they don’t advertise these meetings, only invite those on the email list and remove people they know oppose Cantor and his policies from the list. Also this time you must RSVP or they won’t let you in the meeting.
All of what I mentioned above is a ploy to keep the amount of people aware of the meetings low, to keep as many people away as they can and filter who get in the meetings, and still be able to say they have town halls to all his detractors who rail on him for not having town halls,
Don’t be fooled.
We see that Honorable Mr Cantor insists that to pay out for rescue, relief, and rebuilding of American lives, livelihoods, families, businesses, schools, and communities suffering destruction from many natural disasters this year we must cut other expenditures of the federal government. We should consider this proposal seriously, and being with cutting all aid to Israel ( that appears to amount to about $3 billion/year – http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/134987.pdf ). And, we can look at other aid to other foreign government, who take our money without appreciation, and who instead send spies to steal secrets from the United States ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWpWc_suPWo … this is a FOX NEWS report, the so-called TEA Party Network, so TEA Party should take it seriously and act accordingly). And, if any amount is still needed – or if Mr Cantor prefers to keep spending on Israel and other foreign powers who spy on us – then a fair proposal might be to cut all federal spending in Mr Cantor’s District, including all income tax deductions taken by all individuals and businesses in his District, since he has volunteered this idea. Correct?
I enjoy Rep. Cantor’s comments on how the average American handles our budgets. He seems to think that citizens don’t believe in carrying debt. At a minimum, most of us do have mortgages and credit card debt. But when I get into financial trouble, I cut expenses but I also find extra work (revenue) and I know many of you would do the same – even if it is doing contract work or working an extra part time job. So my question is: Why don’t you talk about the total way an American family would deal with their shortfalls and fight the debt battle on all fronts – cutting spending and finding new sources of income at least until we get the country back to getting our unemployment down so that income taxes are bringing in more revenue and unemployment benefits are down. Please start looking at the whole problem and start working towards healing America.

Enjoy your job while you still have it, Eric.
