I gave you a grade of F.
Senator,
I understand that the new scam by this socialist Obama administration and all you liberal democrats is to give another $250. To the seniors. My response as a senior is to take that money and put...

I gave you a grade of F. You were talking about holding up the health care bill to assure that no federal money was utilized for abortion. I guess you didn't insure that too well now did you. You need to do something about it now. I have the...

I gave you a grade of F. Your contempt for your out-of-work constituents even while you fawn over the stinking rich and powerful is cold and cruel. You have truly sunk beneath the most basic levels of humanity, Ben. You are disgusting.
Rwelsch (DEM), NE writes
I gave you a grade of F. Ben, you have sided with the obscenities of the insurance industry against Nebraskans and America. And now you are with the banks and Wall Street against Nebraskans and Americans. Is there ever a time when you...

I pray that you will wote 'NO' on this take over of our health care. You have one last chance to do what is right and what the American people from your state wants. Nebraska does not want any back room deal that you have...
Grshep (IND), NE writes
I gave you a grade of F. Ben, please do not "waffle" or "flip flop" on health care. And, no more using our beloved "Cornhuskers" for your back room deals for more Democratic tax and spend legislation. We the People will not...

Senator Nelson, if you had voted against the health bill when you were in the position to do so, we would not be in the desperate situation we now find ourselves. If you believe you saved our country from the public option, I believe you...
Rwelsch (DEM), NE writes
I gave you a grade of F. In the Lincoln paper you boast that you have courageously prevented a public option in crucial health care reform, thus continuing the obscene abuses and profits of insurance company thieves. How can you sleep at...

Senator, it’s time for you to reach deep into your conscious and vote against this stupid and costly healthcare bill. The majority of the American people do not want this bill. Listen to the people in our...

If you are SERIOUSLY representing Nebraskans and their businesses with their best interests a priority, you will vote against the nomination of Craig Becker to the Labor Relations Board. And voting against Card Check is a...
Rwelsch (DEM), NE writes
I gave you a grade of F. Your long and ugly habit of playing both sides of the fence is, thank goodness, catching up with you, Ben. All those TV ads in which you tell us what a great guy you are aren't helping you. Seeing you sitting...

I gave you a grade of F. There you go Ben. Its the eve of the election in Massachusuetts. I am watching and cheering as Brown is in complete control of the Senate seat held by a socialist since 1953. Ben, it is too bad. You had such a good thing...
U_voted_4_him (IND), NE writes
I recently viewed your "damage controll" comercial. You don't seriously think Nebraskans are dumb enough to buy into the old, tired, line of -"There are those who want to do nothing". There are better, smarter ways of addressing health care...
Wergmfg (REP), NE writes
I gave you a grade of F.You have decided that you do not need to represent nebraskans. You are still promoting the Health Care bill that will not improve nebraskans Health Care and it is a tax increase we cannot afford. You were...

Laz57 (DEM), NE writes
I gave you the biggest F you can give. You deserve lower than that, but not available. Save you money on advertising as to why you did what you did, as we don’t believe a word you say NOW. You’re a traitor, you made...
