Letter for representatives that voted Yes
Feel free to use this letter I wrote to my congresswoman. Change as you see fit. She voted for the bailout:
September 29, 2008
The Honorable Susan A. Davis
House of Representatives
1526 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515 0553
Re: HR 3997
Representative Davis:
The vote on HR 3997 of September 29, 2008 will go down in history as a day when taxpayers woke up enough, put down their beers, stopped watching the football game, and let their congressmen and women know they had enough; our labor will not be used as collateral to bailout failed Wall Street businessmen and bankers!
I'm sorry that you have chosen to be on the side of history that will be considered the apologists for the central bankers and their cronies. You will be remembered as one that fought with the Bush Administration, the bankers, and the naïve, against the American people. Once again they tried to fool congress with fear and false information. I would think you would learn a lesson after 8 years of this administration’s misrepresentations.
I recognize that you may have simply been manipulated by the fear mongering and arm-twisting by the powers that be. This is little excuse. You were elected to represent us, your constituents, and you sided with the bankers. You were elected to understand economics, taxes, our banking system, and assuming you are the good intentioned person I think you are, you don’t.
I am glad you lost this vote, and look forward to making sure that you lose re-election.
Sincerely,
