My Senator

Chuck Schumer is the senior senator from NY. He's a good guy.

He's against guns in the hands of the wrong people, conservative judges, people trying to turn back the clock on abortion rights.

He's for rebuilding NYC, improving poor people's access to prescription drugs, fighting the war on terrorism, and protecting us all from spam and telemarketing.

In short, he's my kind of guy.

We held a small get together for Chuck last night at our home in NYC. He was there to raise money for his next campaign. That's the unfortunate part of the politcal game. The fortunate part is that the people who came got to see a real person hanging out and telling it like it is.

He thinks Bush is dangerous, that he's right of Reagan, that's he's made a deal with the ultra right wing of the republican party to nominate judges who are committed to rolling back the clock on important laws that protect our freedoms. He thinks Bush is beatable. He thinks that the current slate of Democratic Presidential candidates is weak and we don't have a clear winner in the group. He likes Clark but thinks he's going to make rookie mistakes unless he gets a lot of help fast. He supported the war in Iraq, but thinks the Bush Administration's lack of a plan to get us out has put us in a costly and dangerous predicament.

The best part of it was my kids got to sit there and listen to all of that. They asked questions. And got to see a glimpse of how politics works. How our country is governed. Chuck loves kids. He told us how he wished he'd had more than his two wonderful daughters.

I hate the money part of politics. It makes everything suspect. But last night was OK. Probably because Chuck is my senator and I like the guy.

I would like to thank Chuck Schumer for believing that the senior citizens in Nassau and Suffolk have the right to a HMO without paying exorbitant fees per month.
Why should we be punished because we live on Long Island. Also, people say it's because people out here have more money; what about Douglaston, Central Park, etc.

Thank you Mr. Schumer and hope that this plan comes to fruition.
Sincerely,
Joan G. Smith

> against guns in the hands of the wrong people

I understand the feeling, but unfortunately the bigger problem is the decision of who is "the wrong people" possibly being in the hands of the "wrong people".

Government has become more about politics than governing. Can we really say with any confidence that our children's children won't have to rise up against tyranny and take back their country from the government? I can always hope, but I can also prepare my children.

[I hate NY]

he is not against guns in the wrong hands he only thinks royalty like himself and his family should have armed bodyguards. He is a hypocrite, a jew and a typical ny scumbag who is ridiculed, reviled and hated in the rest of the free country. He is the worst kind of politician and he should not be in power anywhere. I find it disturbing and hard to believe a piece of shit like schumer is so liked but hey it's Ny and all you folks that are packed in like rats on that little island are all nuts. The rest of America is tired of him being a traitor and anti- Constitution. He is pathetic and just seeing his stupid face makes me want to puke.

Dude,
Chuck Schumer is on the same side of the gun issue as Adolf Hitler. All dictators are in favor of disarming their subjects. Gun control is the camel's nose under the tent for politicians who want to erase the 2nd amendment and the entire Bill of Rights. Read what the Founders said about gun rights.
