Oct 13, 2011 Senator Robert Portman Russell Senate Office Building, Room 338 Constitution and Delaware Avenues, NE Washington, DC 20510-3506 Subject: Sen. Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Mr. David Harding

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman: My name is Bill Collins. I am a 59-year-old self-employed digital media consultant who had a thriving consultancy for a number of years. But, during the last 6-12 months, the market for my services has collapsed. With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work and with self-employed professionals like me struggling to sign consulting gigs,, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act suggests to me that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. I understand that your father built the Portman business ventures up to a high level when you were younger. That's great. But, most of us, and many well-to-do people like you still make an effort to understand the struggles of people in this economy and try to do something about it. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Your position is bankrupt. You have no meaningful program to end the massive jobs crisis in Ohio. The President's bill would give life and rescue our state's dying economy. All you can think of is prolonging the suffering in hopes it will give your party a better chance in 2012. What depraved cynicism! Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

You do not represent me or my friends and neighbors in this action. This kind of arrogant oversight of the plight of the working class is encouraging me and my friends to work to vote you out of office.

Your decision to vote against the American Jobs Act, was a huge disappointment to myself and many other middle class Americans. Please Senator Portman. Do what you promised last November.

Are there enough voters in the top 1% to keep electing you? Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working.

You don't have a clue how the average American is hurting. many of the citizins of this country can't find work at all, & yet you feel it is neccessary to vote strickley with your party on this issue. Your party talks about not taxing the rich because it will hurt the job creatures. The rich have had tax brakes for 10 years now. I ask you Mr. Sen. Portman "WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS". We all know they are in China, Vietnam, Japan & anywhere but the U.S. You are suppose to be a U.S. Senator, not a world senator. Enjoy your time as senator, Hope it's your last.

Dear Senator Portman, I feel you are not acting in the best interest of the people of Ohio. Passing the bill would put our state on the path of recovery. People would rather work than receive unemployment, welfare, or other assistance. The majority of people in the state of Ohio are hard and good workers, who as of late have been taken I feel for granted by busineesses. How would you feel if you had lost your job and their was a even a minute possiblity that the Job bill could provide you a means of taking care of your family. Congress is making almost impossible to live the American dream that our parents and grandparents enjoyed. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working.

Hello Senator Portman, I can't understand why you would vote down the American Jobs Act. It's not about being Republican or Democrat in this recession, it's about getting people back to work. Idle time for most leads to depression, more alcohol use/drugs and divorce. Having worked in Mental Health for 25+ years I have seen this first hand. In the 80's drug use and alcohol abuse were worse than any other decade until 2000-2009. We are now putting the criminally insane and developmentally disabled in prison with all the other inmates due to NO mental health money in Ohio. If it takes this reform to get the economy going, don't let a (D) or (R) be the deciding factor. Obama is doing a lousy job, be the bigger person and help the voters that will be voting for you. Think of the families that you would help, the small businesses,etc... Thanks, Bill McDonnell 4467 East Rd.

For countless of families this is a daily reality that they must contend with and at the same time hope for a brighter day the hope that could have been afforded to some through the passage of recent proposal to generate jobs. We all must vote our conscience and you as an elected offical hold the fate of so many families and children in your hands; if you can continue to deny the same as you excercise your right to mis-repesent the sentiments of those who elected you then clearly we were all decieved. Just as sure as the Sun does rise and set the day will come when you will be confronted with the results of your decision not to support a Jobs Bill be it directly or indirectly; then maybe you will appreciate the confidence afforded you in your position and your heart will be touched to touch the un-touchable in a way that will once again instill in them the opportunity to live their lives with the same dignity that you may feel is for a selected few.

Shame on you! I sure wish Ohio was a recall state like Wisconsin! You guys lied your way into office telling Ohioans that you were going to fix the jobs problem and all the congress has done is vote on abortion bills. All Kasick has done is alienate 70% of the republican voters by killing jobs with SB5/issue 2, blocking works in progress and selling off our infrastructure so we can pay private industry more to use it. Just you wait until you are up for reelection. I have never been so angry. Now, get off your ass and vote for the jobs bill and vote to pay for it at the expense of the people who stole America's economy. A 5% hike is too little - we should go back to the 70% of the Eisenhower era - then we could solve alot off our problems. And don't give me that trickle down crap - historically jobs increased when we raised taxes on the wealthy and decreased when we let them fritter away their ill gotten gains playing the stockmarket.

Whether it was to extend the unemployment benefits to long term unemployed, or pass this American Jobs Act, you are putting party above the peoples' needs. I'm so disappointed in your vote and in the Republican House and senators who time after time do everything in their power to obstruct every bill that can get people back to work. Shameful!

This is not about the 2012 presidential campaign,it is about doing the right thing for the middle class and promoting legislation that will promote job growth. The majority of the American public including job creating small businesses are ready for you to tax the top 1% in order to bring down the deficit, support the affordable care act so that we can rein in the insurance costs that keep hurting small businesses and the public sector and basically do your job of representing our concerns instead of your re-election campaign and that of other republicans.

By helping defeat the Jobs Act, you are keeping the tax base smaller. Somehow that Doesn't seem wise to me...

I am disappointed in your vote - I subscribe to the Manchester (OH) Signal and have read your columns in that newspaper. Many times I have felt you have used good judgement.

Please, reconsider your stance on this. If there are ways to improve the bill, please do so, but please don't continue to ignore my friends and neighbors who are suffering while out of work and wanting so desparately to go back to work and be able to contribute not only to their families but the community and country as well.

Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need. Sincerely, Mr. William Dulin

Shame on you! As W's budget director, you helped screw up the economy. Now, you're voting against jobs that you & he took away during W's presidency. President Obama is trying to put people back to work but you & your Republican cohorts think only of the wealthy & priveleged. How would you feel if you were out of work & trying to pay for food, utilities, a mortgage, health insurance, etc.? Start thinking of all the people, not just the very wealthiest that Republicans always coddle & kowtow to. You can blame President Obama all you want for the state the economy is in, but the truth is, the Republicans put us in this state of affairs. If you continue playing partisian politics, there will be no new job creation & the economy will continue to flounder. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.

Oct 13, 2011 Senator Robert Portman Russell Senate Office Building, Room 338 Constitution and Delaware Avenues, NE Washington, DC 20510-3506 Subject: Sen. Portman I'm Disappointed You Voted Against Good Jobs Dear Senator Portman, With nearly 30 million Americans unemployed or seeking more work, President Obama's American Jobs Act is a critical piece of legislation that would create almost two million good jobs and put our economy back on the path to recovery. It should have passed. Your vote against the American Jobs Act proves that you don't understand the struggles of everyday Americans. Instead of ignoring the millions of unemployed across the country, and siding with millionaires and billionaires, you, Senator, should be helping working families put food on the table, fill up our gas tanks, help us keep our homes and provide a better future for our children. You and your Republican colleagues should be ashamed of voting against cloture. In effect you voted against having any debate of the American Jobs Act whatsoever. I do not believe this is in the tradition of Democracy. The jobs which would be created by this legislation are jobs that need doing. You probably have not noticed, but a great deal of our infrastructure is falling apart. Roads and bridges are crumbling and those which are still holding together were designed for much lower traffic loads than they are now carrying. I understand that you are now sponsoring a jobs bill which would consist mainly of the same old same old--lower taxes and fewer regulations. This strategy has not worked for the last ten years and there is no reason to think that it will work now. The biggest problem with our economy now is the lack of demand. To create demand we need to create jobs and get people working and spending money again. Giving money to those who already have money will not accomplish this. In addition I believe your program includes a balanced budget amendment. This has been a conservative fantasy for years and it will not solve any of our problems. In the end it it were to pass--which I doubt--it would create more problems. If you do not like the American Jobs Act I suggest you go back to the drawing board and come up with a plan which will actually create the jobs the country so badly needs. Senator Portman, I urge you to stop ignoring the men and women who want to be working. Please stop holding up funding that will create the jobs that people in our communities need.
