Post letters/faxes to your Senator

Senator Sununu,
I am a registered Republican. I believe in fiscal responsibility. That is why I hope that you will do the right thing and vote NO on ANY bailout bill.

I assure you that any vote other than NO will sway my vote to Shaheen. And not only sway my vote it will make me campaign for her asking my friends to vote for her.

Thank you,
My Name

Here is one of the letters I been sending.. It could be made better..




In 1913, members of the Congress convened over the Christmas break, voice-voted to wave the quorum rule, then voice-voted to pass the Federal Reserve act, which transferred control of the United States' monetary policy into the hands of a privately-owned bank. That same year, lame-duck Secretary of State Philander Knox declared the 16th Amendment "in effect", removing the Constitutional ban on a direct non-apportioned tax on the people. As a side note, after decades of research, nobody inside or outside the government can document that the 16th Amendment was actually ratified by the necessary number of states, but it was declared by fiat, shackling the American epople to whatever debts the US Government would owe that private bank now in control of monetary policy.

As recent events have proven yet again, that private bank is not looking out for the interests of the people of this nation, but only for itself.

This nation was never supposed to have a private central bank. Prior to 1913, various Presidents had opposed such a central bank as contrary to the best interests of the people.

It is time to return to the founding principles of this nation.

The $700 billion bailout legislation would provide billions to foreign central banks in addition to private foreign banks. The proposed move represents a total shift of U.S. taxpayers' funds into the hands of powerful private interests, some of which do not even represent American companies.

Is there a solution?

America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in history through low taxes, constitutionally-limited government,personal freedom, and a belief in sound money. The way out of this current financial crisis is to return to those timeless principles:

1.) End the Bailouts - The Federal Reserve's authority to use taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street must be revoked and the Fed must be held accountable.

2.) Stop Congress' Reckless Spending - We must freeze all non-entitlement spending by the federal government at current levels and eliminate wasteful spending both domestically and in our trillion-dollar overseas budget.

3.) Cut Taxes - If Wall Street can be given your tax dollars, shouldn't you get some back? It's time to cut taxes and return your money to you. Combined with spending reform, this will increase the purchasing power of our dollars and help lessen the economic storm.

4.) Reform the Monetary System - If we are to have long-term economic progress, we must end the system of printing money out of thin air. The current laws limiting the circulation of gold and silver-backed currency must be overturned.

5.) The Federal Reserve Banks should be seized by Congress under Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. The FED banks could survive as clearinghouse banks, but the Federal Reserve that has robbed the American people for 100 years would cease to exist.

The debt owed by the American people to the FED banks would be discharged in bankruptcy. Congress would take monetary policy from the FED and would simply stand in place of the FED through a monetary board. The FED credit computers would be transferred to Congress who would issue new credit (money), because under our present system 97% of all money originates as credit.

This new credit would keep the system going and prevent collapse. It could all be done without interest and without debt. The backs of the international banking cartel would be broken forever, and the American people through their elected representatives would control monetary policy; i.e. money in circulation, interest rates, and credit availability

6.) End the Federal Reserve, and get rid of it. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, Americans have seen the purchasing power of their money steadily eroded, thanks to Fed-induced monetary inflation.

Given the present, unprecedented federal bailouts of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, and more to come, it is time for Congress to put the interests of the American people ahead of the special interests and their appetite for big government.

Abolishing the Federal Reserve would empower Congress to reassert its constitutional authority over monetary policy and re-establish a gold-backed currency. Therefore you must work for the passage of Congressman Ron Paul's H.R. 2755 to repeal the Federal Reserve Act in both the House and Senate.

The U.S. Constitution does not give Congress the authority to delegate control over monetary policy to a central bank.

I am counting on you to abide by your congressional oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.

7.) Impeaching George W. Bush, President of the United States, and Impeaching Dick Cheney, The Vice President of the United States.

You must cosponsor H.Res. 1345 and H.Res. 1258: Impeaching George W. Bush, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors.

You must cosponsor H. Res 333, the articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney.

Do your damn jobs, and Impeach them!!

Please stand up for the Constitution, the free market, and the dollar by voting NO on this disgusting communist unconstitutional bailout $700 billion Wall Street bailout bill the Emergency Stabilization Act or any other proposal

Don't make an excuse!

vote NO on ANY bailout plan or rescue plan!

Dear Senator,

I have heard it said that Bernanke is an expert on the Great Depression.

Is he an expert on how to get us into and out of a great depression?

Because by pushing the $700 Billion bailout we will be left to deal with both!


Please oppose any bailout!

Senator Pryor,

As you may know, We the People are almost unanimous in our support of NO BAILOUT. As a proud citizen of the State of Arkansas and of the United States, I am declaring my total, complete disagreement with any sort of government bailout of these private banks. I'm sure almost everyone in America has made some bad decisions with their money and it would be a tremendous burden lifted for them to be "bailed out" as well. Despite this, instead of demanding to be bailed out along with the banks, we are calling for NO BAILOUT of ANY kind. This speaks volumes. I am sure that our voices are coming through loud and clear, judging by the number of calls and emails our representatives are getting at this time. By now, our senators and representatives in congress should fully understand our wishes on this matter. Their duty is to represent the people. Any vote besides a NO to any form of bailout or bailout compromise will certainly let us know who you really represent. It is government's duty to represent the people. It is the citizen's duty to make sure this is done. You can count on us remembering who listened to us when election time comes.

It is possible that you are misinformed about this situation. To make sure you have your facts straight, listen to what Congressman Ron Paul has to say on this issue. He actually predicted this financial meltdown and the steps leading up to it with surprising accuracy. He has been right on a lot of other issues too. In a time where the constitution is being ignored and our civil liberties are being sacrificed in the name of safety, Ron Paul has stood up for the American people, the same way he has been doing for decades. If you would like to learn from him, www.ronpaullibrary.org has a good index of his speeches and various writings you might find helpful.

Please keep the people's wishes in mind as you vote this issue and all others as well.

Sincerely,

xxxxxx xxx

"Those who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither..."- Benjamin Franklin 1759

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

Senator Coleman:

You MUST unconditionally withdraw your support for these bailouts in any form. This is nothing less than stealing from the proletariat to pay the bankers. Through the politics of fear, you and others in the Congress and Administration are duping America with a shoot-first-ask-questions-later policy of socialistic price-fixing and regulation.

You are asking us to spend $700 billion—that’s nearly 2,000 times the largest Powerball payout in history—on a panic-driven plan that we don’t even know will work? And give Paulson and Bernanke free reign over everything? In the name of stability!?

This is contrary to everything Republicans are supposed to stand for. With Republicans like you, who needs Democrats? This is tyranny, not stability.

Polls are showing widespread disapproval for these bailouts and this unconstitutional power grab by the Treasury and Federal Reserve, yet you continue to support them. Please, start being our representative.

thanks Nate. i copied yours, but added the following as a last line: "Whether or not you receive my vote the next time you run for office will be determined on this vote alone."

my D Senators are up for reelection in '10 and '12. Not much hope here :(

[ItsTime]

I think short to the point is better, no one is really reading these things, they are just seeing yes or no.

But thought out emails never hurt I guess :)
