Just sent this off via e-mail to my Senators and Representative:
Dear__________
Not one dime of this bailout should go to organizations like ACORN and La Raza.
The funding of nongovernmental organizations which are nakedly partisan is not only wrongheaded and immoral, but unconstitutional.
As long as this provision remains in the bailout bill, I, and thousands of others like me will steadfastly oppose any efforts to get it passed.
Before any bailout plan is approved, there should be hearings which investigate the root causes of this catastrophe.
There are members of both houses of Congress who have opposed strengthening oversight of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae every time legislation to strengthen oversight and increase accountability has been proposed over the years, and they must be held accountable for their positions.
Their actions need to be brought to the light of day, and NAMES NEED TO BE NAMED.
Wrong-headed actions by Congress led to this mess; and it is idiotic to assume that additional wrong-headed actions by Congress will fix it.
Thank you,
I just used your letter to do the same.
Thank you for the template.
