here’s the messsage I sent Congressman Boehner:
Dear Congressman Boehner,
Keep fighting this Wall Street Bailout bill. Thank you and your associates for their hard work.
Keep looking for and pushing free market alternatives, and do not let any bill pass that fails to amend the mistakes that got us here - lending to bad risk clients under the compulsion of Fannie and Freddie Mac and socialistic policies that sound good in a Liberal Hymnal but stink on a real world balance sheet.
Also, please let Wall Street know it is not the business of the American taxpayer to assume the risk that even seasoned brokers are too wise to gamble on. The American populace is not someone’s rich uncle - we are a collective of the honest, the hard working, the rule-following, the repsonsible — the people who do not ask for favors but who expect fairness. It ought not to be the case in America that the responsible are punished for the sins of the foolish, the fatcats, the well-intended “progressives” (ACORN) and their golden parachute cronies.
Best Regards,
[yrs truly]
Thanks. The Republicans need to force the majority to do this themselves and then let them take the heat for it.
