    Please vote NO on the G-20 climate agenda. At this time we need to spend our billions of dollars in the U.S. to take care of protecting and correcting any problems that we alone cause to any climate problems. I do believe that we should do things to protect what God gave us, but we should not be in the business of calling wolf.
    It does not matter if we can breathe, if the economy is so bad that people cannot live a fruitful life that causes them to consider doing unspeakable acts. Not having necessary things causes the unspeakable. Look at the U.S. as well as the world -Iraq/Afganistan. Bring our jobs back to the U.S. Too many people are losing their jobs. Our young people are hurting! hurting! We do not want to lose our county as we know it and how it was set up by our forefathers. We do not want a World Order. Stop the steps in that direction. Stop the climate agenda that is leading us down that path. We do not owe any other country anything for climate issues. We cannot take care of this country let alone sending taxpayer funds to every country across the globe. It is time for the U.S. to develop those green industries right here in the U.S. Far too many of our jobs have been sent out of the United States. The EU leaders need to be more realistic. Our own U.S. government needs to be more realistic. Just Say No to any annual monetary package being set up to send to any other country, and please help to stop the greed that seems to permeate our society and Washington D.C. today. Stop the big pocket mentality in Washington D.C. at the expense of the American taxpayer. Again say NO in Copenhagen in December -"Nature doesn't do bailouts,"(B'hm News -11/7/09 -7D).
    Many Americans have lost their jobs or cannot find one. I fear that many more are going to lose their jobs. Many have also taken 10%-15% pay cuts and lost their perks. Washington is watching salaries and perks of those that took bailout money. It is time for our countries leaders in government to make cuts and give up some perks. They personally need to do their part to rectify this economy. Government is too big. From the President down and across this country our government leaders need to take those same cuts, do their own jobs, and possibly take on the jobs of others. That is what those in the work force are being forced to do. Those in Washington need to take off those rose colored glasses and take a close look at what they are doing to the American taxpayer. It is easy to keep on keeping on when your own family has an abundance of food, shelter, quality health care, and other perks. Our government leaders have been part of the problem. Please help stop the greed, and have your fellow officals/leaders take on their share of the personal responsibility for the economic problems that are plaguing the U.S. Call for personal pay cuts and cuts in personal perks for those in government. Slash the unnecessay remembering there is a difference in a want and a need. Please end the bloat in government and audit the Federal Reserve with an eye on slashing it.
    Alabamians appreciate the way that you represent our state. Thank you for your kind attention.

    Sincerely,
    Sheila Burger
