Dear Representative Shimkus, I am writing to express my disappointment with your Yes vote on HR 1586. While I typically appreciate your fairly conservative voting record, I feel that this bill, while appealing to populist sentiment, is clearly an unconstitional bill of attainder. While I'm opposed to the entire government bailout concept, I'm troubled by this blatant targeting of specific classes of people, especially if there were previous employment contracts that governed these bonuses. I'm much more fearful of an out of control Federal government, which the current Administration unfortunately seems to champion, than I am of any alledged private sector abuses. Thank you for your time and attention to this correspondence
IMHO, that was WAY too polite... :)
