Have these people lost the courage to stand up??&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I find there are too many serious issues which will not be addressed as they are envolved fully of the content. Congress is a Paper Mill,, More over &amp;quot;&amp;quot;they are all paper hangers with self servig agenda! Congress is not the voice or moral representives as intended by the People. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These Paper Hangers who now want your Vote, Your money, Your support! Their lies and promises are typical and some times want to make the common street person just puke! &amp;nbsp;They have proved they are above the laws, they have srugged off the responsibility to secure 12 million illegals and deport those who have violated our borders. they have not secured our borders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;America needs not another Paper Hanger to continue this path to destroy our infrastructure. America must cease being lied to and rejected by those who are the homesteaders in Washington. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;America must have a moral President, Not a Has been of past scandal, a person who stood by a bald face liar! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If all this makes it to be posted, Will your vote support the self serving Paper Hanger. Or do you even know between right and wrong? &amp;nbsp;Money a worthless evil of those who are evil.
