Jim Robinson delivered the following letter to the offices of Senators Arlen Specter, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe this morning.

The Honorable Arlen Specter
711 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510

Sen. Specter,

On behalf of the several hundred thousand members of FreeRepublic.com, I urge you to vote against cloture and passage of the so-called stimulus bill, or as we call it, the Porkulus Bill.

We appreciate your good faith efforts on improving the bill. However, statements by your Democratic colleagues show that they have no intention of abiding by the compromises negotiated with you. In short, the Democrats are playing you and the American people for suckers.

This bill needs to be stopped. If passed, it will pile so much debt on our citizens, with more indebtedness to come with TARP and the omnibus bill, that they will become slaves to that debt and slaves to government.

As you reflect on your votes today and tomorrow, I ask you to consider what our Founding Fathers would do in this situation. Would they sacrifice and endure short term pain for the good of the Nation, or would they vote to enslave future generations with unsustainable debt for short term gain?

May God save America from its government,

James C. Robinson
Founder and President

I decided to watch Bambi live in Indiana. I think he’s bombing. The enthusiam in the applause is waining. I think I heard it would amount to $1000 a year to 2.5 million Hoosiers. Sorry, but that doesn’t even help someone for a month much less the year.

Excellent letter. A perfect combination of proper politeness and the truth.

A thoughtful analysis and I do not disagree in principle.

The problem with doing it this way is the short to medium term disruption of the Markets as well as the increased funding for entities like ACORN. I think that, once they are in place and empowered, they will never be dislodged save for a true revolution, and I don’t wish for that.

You won't get a reply unless you're from PA. Says so on the website. Doesn't mean we shouldn't flood the inbox!
