  • It makes me sick to read about boeing and what is going on with the nlrb,, , please do something about the attacks on unions and a livable wage . Hold boeing accountable for the gutting of family wages. This is bad and has to stop. Long time carpenter , read your northwest labor press and make the right decision to support unions and family wage jobs. It's the law and the republicans want to gut it. Why cuz it cut's into profit , min wage,, bigger bonuses . Start the revolution, say end this c

  • I hope republicans lose both chambers of congress and their hope for white house to be dashed! these republicans only support the rich people only because they can provide all the money in the world as their ticket into political power. YEAH MERKLEY! SAY IT LIKE IT IS!!!

  • You can speak in generalities and quote average numbers that seniors will have to pay, but you neglect to mention that the Republican plan provides vouchers for those who need them, i.e. means testing. Isn't it fair that those who are more well off pay more, while those less well off get assistance?

  • Thank you for these comments, Senator. You can name names because you back it up with the specific issues. Thank you for focusing on good-paying jobs, which benefits the whole economy from working families to Wall Street.

  • Thank you for sharing this. A bit divisive in tone for my tastes, but I agree with the points you make. Please keep working towards a balanced budget that doesn't destroy the social safety nets that help so many in this nation! I know there will have to be compromises, so thanks for being thoughtful as to the programs that will need to be cut and forceful in opposing tax cuts that won't help the budget.

  • Thank you Senator Merkley for representing the people. We need more good people in office like you.

  • Well done, Senator. Thank you for being so comprehensive and well spoken. Keep up the good work...

  • Thank you for fighting for what is right and for keeping your constituents informed through your emails.

  • What is the Democrat plan to cut spending, Senator? Don't tell me its raise taxes either. Because we all ready have the highest taxes in the world and raising the taxes on the fortune 500 wont even be enough to cut our 14 trillion dollar deficit. I suggest to you cut EPA, FDA, and USDA regulations and cut all subsidies. Even those on Oil and green energy. Its funny no one is talking about cutting green energy subsidies when they are taking the bigger peace of pie.

    Republicans are broken and greedy, only interested in tax breaks for the rich and the rich are just rolling in their dough not creating jobs !!!!!!
