Both my senators from Maryland voted yes to the bailout package, as amended. I sent them the following letter to voice my disdain for their sell-out of the American taxpayer. Feel free to cut, paste, taylor, and send this letter to your senators who also jumped on the traitor bandwagon.
Dear Senator,
I am saddened and dismayed at your vote of YES to this tragic and unconstitutional bill to give taxpayer money to failed banks.
These banks failed due to unchecked greed and irresponsible lending. Not one red cent of taxpayer money should be given to the crooked Fat Cats who precipitated this so-called crisis.
The fact is, there is no equitable way to amend this bill if it still uses taxpayer’s money in order to bail out PRIVATE corporations. Nor will any bill stem the tide of foreclosures around the country. The damage is already done. Why make it worse by generating more debt and skyrocketing inflation?
All the talk of "we're all in this together" is just plain ridiculous. Those banks, the current administration (and it’s bought off legislators), and the FED are to blame, NOT the American taxpayer. Reform is what is needed. This can't be resolved by throwing money at the problem.
To start with, there must be far more transparency in the Federal Reserve. The FED has never been audited by the Congress...why is that? I remind you sir, that by the Constitution, Congress has the power to coin money and set its value. In 1913, Congress gave it's authority to the FED, a private, secretive, unelected organization. Congress ceded their power to control our currency in favor of a corrupt, debt generating, central bank system without oversight, and who answer to nobody.
I ask you Senator, did you really believe your YES vote was in the best interest of the nation, or were your loyalties some place else? Need I start following the money?
I submit to you that re-election is unlikely when your term comes up. People will remember your choice to sell out America to corporations and the banks (foreign and domestic). I will do my best to educate my fellow citizens of your choice to reward greedy bankers with our hard earned tax dollars.
Good day to you, Senator.
Respectfully,
Paul G.
